Married Ada L. Bailey/Philbrook on April 9, 1884 in Eagleton, Wisconsin.
**********************************************
Addison Prentiss Budge was a timber cruiser. That meant he worked for lumber companies, and his job was to go into the woods and estimate the board feet of lumber that a given area should yield when it was logged off. His estimate would be the basis for their bid for the logging rights to that land. He worked mostly in the West, and he was seldom in Wisconsin. I recall mention of him working around Coeur D'Alene, Idaho. One of his eyes was scratched by a pine needle while he was in the woods out west. He lost that eye and had a glass eye in its place. I remember him sitting in a chair in our kitchen, somewhat facing me, and reading a newspaper. I could see his eyes over the top of the paper, and one of them looked down and moved back and forth as he read. The other, the glass eye, looked over the top of the paper and kept staring at me. - "Wisconsin, Points East Consulting and Overview" by Gilbert Eugene Buske , 1984.
