Veteran of 98 craves Travel Instead of Life of Inactivity 


"Sittin' and fishin" is all right for old fellows, but D. H. Wade, 5223 East
Side, who will celebrate his ninety eighth birthday Saturday, likes to
travel.  In fact, he plans to go to Gettysburg. Pa., in June to the reunion
of Confederate and Union veterans.


A native of Northern Alabama, Mr. Wade first set eyes on Dallas sixty years
ago when he drove a team of horses from his farm home to Old Mexico, going
by way of North Texas because of the yellow fever quarantine in many parts
of Tennessee and Mississippi.  He spent a short time in Mexico before
returning home, but came back to Texas four years later to settle in Ennis,
Ellis County.  In 1884 he came to Dallas and has lived here most of the time
since.


For many years Mr. Wade operated a coal and wood business on the site of the
present Olive & Myers furniture factory at 2220 Young.  Now he spends a good
deal of his time fishing at White Rock Lake, with pretty good luck.  He
recently built himself a new boat. 


Mr. Wade lives with his youngest son. R D. Wade. Of his twelve children,
seven are living. He also has twelve grandchildren and eight
great-grandchildren.
