James married Mary Gerber on Dec. 14, 1876 in Chanton, Wisconsin. Ernest, Thomas J. Cora, James, Maude, Frederick, Augusta, Mary, Margaret May, June, Edwin, Owen Tully and Frances were born to this union.
The following is from "Memorial and Biographical Record of Turner, Lincoln, Union and Clay Counties, published in 1897.
The grain farming interests of Lincoln County find no better representative than James Madden, who is also a veteran of the late war, in which he did good and efficient service. By untiring industry and the exercise of sagacious judgment and good business faculties he has acquired a fine farm and is classed among the enterprising farmers and grain dealers of Lynn Township.
James is a native of the Pennsylvania and was born in Schuylkill County. His parents, Owen and Ellen (Tulley) Madden were both natives of County Galway, Ireland, but were married in the Schuylkill County, PA. They later on located in Woodstock, IL. James two sisters, who were also born in the Keystone state, now reside on farms in the vicinity of Worthing, SD, on being the wife of P. H. Devitt and the other Mrs. Frank Clark.
James passed his early life from 1857 to manhood in Illinois. After the breaking out of the war he watched its course with patriotic interest, and as soon as he was able enlisted to help defend the Stars and Stripes. He was mustered into company A, 95th Illinois regiment, infantry, in Oct. 1864, and joined the regiment just before the capture of Nashville. He also participated in the engagement at Spanish Fort, AL. At Montgomery, Al, in June, 1865, he was discharged on account of sickness and came home; he convalesced, and after regaining his strength engaged in farming.
1872 was the date of his arrival in Dakota Territory, and he located at that time on a claim on part of which the village of Worthing now stands. When the railroad was built in 1879 he was fortunate enough in having the depot located on his property, which has greatly enhanced its value. In 1891 he established himself in the buying and shipping of grain, in connection with his other enterprises, and under the firm name of the Farmers Alliance Warehouse Company is conduction a thriving and prosperous business in that line.
Mrs. Madden, the estimable lady who presides over the household of our subject, was formerly Miss Mary Gerber, a daughter of Fred Gerber, and by their marriage they have become the parents of nine children; Ernest, Cora, Maud, Fred and Mary E., and four deceased.
