A man of wealth and prominence, yet unspoiled by his prosperity and position; a man whose life was filled with kindly thoughts and deeds; a man of sterling integrity who left his impress upon the commerical life of Wabash during a long period of years, and one who typified in his everyday existence the highest type of Christian character, was the late John T. Graden, who will be well remmebered by the older generation, not alone as a business man, but as one who shared in the work of developing the city and who rendered material service in public office. Mr. Graden was a native of the state of Ohio, his birth occuring near Gallipolis, Gallia county, August 30, 1949, and a son of John and Maria (Zimmerman) Graden. When Mr. Graden was about fifteen years of age the family moved to Illinois, and succeeding his schooling he entered a drug store with a view of embarking in that business later in life. Subsequently he went to Indianapolis, where he furthered his studies in drugs, and in 1872 came to Wabash. He at once opened an establishment here and from the start it proved unusually successful, Mr. Graden winning the confidence and esteem of the people of the city through his knowledge of his vocation and his straightforward manner of doing business. His enterprise became one of the leading ventures of its kind in the city, and Mr. Graden was widely known to the trade throughout this section. Socially he was identified with the Odd Fellows and Masonic fraternities, and as a Republican in politics he served several terms as a member of the city council, where his advice and leadership were eagerly sought by his colleagues. When he died, August 21, 1889, his adopted city suffered a severe loss, as did a host of his friends. Mr. Graden was married April 9, 1874 to Miss May Pawling, a daughter of Albert Pawling. Three children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Graden: a daughter who died in infancy; Alberta, who died at the age of twenty years; and Jean, who married Fred B. Walter, secretary and treasurer of the firm of B. Walter & Company of Wabash.
