Doctor Franklin WADE grew to manhood in Greene County, Indiana, where he obtained such education as the public schools of his day provided. He was united in marriage February 3, 1867 to Roena BEATY, whose home was near Springville, Indiana. To this union eight children were born. Those surviving are W. L.

Soon after his marriage, he moved to Johnson County, Missouri, and in the spring of 1868 he moved to Wilson County, Kansas, where he settled on a claim near Neodesha. He taught school in Neodesha in 1874, afterward pre-empting a claim six miles west of that place, where he lived a number of years, undergoing all the hardships of the early pioneer.
In 1894 he removed with his family to Switz City, Indiana, and lived there until the death of his wife in 1906, when he returned to Kansas, making his home with his children living there.
His life was one of unselfish devotion to those he loved, and to the high ideals for which he stood. He was a life-long Mason, being a charter member of the Masonic lodge at Neodesha, Kansas.
His body was brought to Switz City, Indiana, by his children, May 27, 1918, where the Masons of the Switz City Lodge laid it to rest by the side of his beloved wife in the Switz City cemetery.
