Peter BRADEN was born in Richland County, Ohio, March 11, 1837 [sic] to parents Samuel B BRADEN and Margaret GATES. He was about twelve years of age when they went to Macon County, Illinois. There he was reared on a farm and was educated in the common schools. He was married at that place in August, 1864, to Miss Sarah A.POOLE. Mr. Braden lived in Illinois until 1866, when he removed to Otoe County, Nebraska, where he lived nine years, at the end of that time coming to Pottawattamie County. He settled near Macedonia, where he resided until he purchased his present farm of eighty acres in Silver Creek Township. It was then wild land. He now has a good frame residence, a grove, orchard, stables, feed lots, and everything about the place shows the thrift of the owner. He is engaged in general farming and stock-raising. Mr. BRADEN has always been a Democrat, but has never aspired to public office.

Mr. and Mrs. Braden have seven children, namely: Belle, wife of John HARBURT, of Carson Township, this county; Elmer E., of Macedonia, is a painter; Ida, wife of A. E. SEABURG, of Silver Creek Township; Willie, Gracie, Claude and Archie. They had three children who died in childhood:

Perley A. Braden (1874-1881)
Rachel Braden (1879-1879)
John Braden (1879-1879)
