I believe John William Wade is not buried at Hillside Cemetery in Cascade, MT. His death certificate states he was cremated and buried at Hillcrest Lawn in Great Falls, MT. I checked with the Cascade Town Clerk, there is no listing for John William Wade. His son John Wilton Wade is buried at Hillside Cemetery in Cascade and some other Wades, but not John William. I will confirm this with funeral home records when I am at the Genealogy Library in Great Falls again.

According to the death certificate, George Company Funeral Home, handled his arrangements and noted cremation. It states Hillcrest Lawn Memorial, which was the crematory at that time. The cremation order stated the remains would be "scattered in the Missouri River" under the direction of his daughter Mrs. Fred Wolfe."

John W. Wade came to Montana in the fall of 1910 from Georgia on the advice of his doctor. John had been ill with typhoid fever. His father-in-law, Wilton A. Miller, was manager on the Haymaker Ranch at Two Dot, Montana. John moved his family there and eventually took up a homestead on Hopley Creek.

John managed the Cooper ranch from 1914 to 1915. The family moved to Cascade where John went to work selling land for the Chestnut Valley Realty Company. He also worked at the Corner Store, the Cascade Mercantile and the old Co-op Store. He also was a vendor at the State Liquor store until his retirement.

He was the oldest of 14 children (obit states 12) and went to work at an early age, receiving only a minimum of schooling. However, he was a great reader and loved to argue or debate any question of current events.

John had four children with his wife, Clyde Ruth Miller.

NOTE:
Funeral program indicates private interment in Hillside Cemetery, Cascade, Montana.
[This program may be for his son John William Wade.]
