Confederate Veteran, Who First Saw Dallas On Way to Mexico, Dies
The gray ranks of Confederate veterans became a little thinner Monday with
the death of D. H. Wade, 98, of 5223 East Side.


Mr. Wade, a native of Alabama for a number of years had lived here with his
youngest son, R. D. Wade.  His first glimpse of Dallas was more than sixty
years ago when he drove through the straggling village en route to Mexico
with a team of horses.  Mr. Wade returned to Texas four years later to
settle at Ennis, Ellis County.  He remained until 1884 when he came to
Dallas.  He had lived here since that time except for a few years spent in
Mabank.


For many years he operated a coal and wood business on the site of the
present Olive & Myers furniture factory at 2220 Young.  During the last
years of his life he spent most of his time pursuing his favorite
hobby-fishing-at White Rock Lake.  He attended the reunion of Confederate
and Union veterans at Gettysburg, Pa. last June.


Funeral services will be held at 3 p.m. Tuesday at the East Grand Baptist
Church with the Rev. H. E. Fowler officiating.  Burial will be in Restland
Memorial Park. [Dallas]


Pallbearers will be Houston Wade, Horace Wade, Earnest DeArment, J. H.
Jones, J. L. Richardson, all of Dallas, and Milton Keating of Ada, Okla.


Mr. Wade is survived by five daughters, two sons, fifteen grandchildren and
fourteen great-grandchildren.
