Read More	On the 27th of December, 1900, Mr. Hadley was united in marriage to Miss VESTA BROWN, who was born in Cedar township, December 21, 1877, and is a daughter of T. M. BROWN and SOPHIA FERRY, the former of whom was born in Indiana and the latter in New York state. They were married at Columbus Junction, Iowa, and subsequently Mr. Brown had charge of a ferry across the Cedar river. In 1861 he became a soldier for the Union in the Civil war and served faithfully for three years as orderly sergeant of his company. After leaving the army he returned to Muscatine county and engaged in farming until 1905, since which time he has lived retired at Letts, Iowa. He has now reached the age of seventy-eight years, while his beloved wife is seventy-four years of age. Nine children were born to them, namely: Edwin B., of Groton, South Dakota ; Henry B., deceased at the age of five years ; Cora E., who died at the age of one year ; Horace F., of Durham, Missouri ; Myra, who died in 1890 ; Julia E., now the wife of Cella W. Blake ; Hugh T., of Doby, Oklahoma ; Vesta, now Mrs. Brown ; and Lucius A., of Letts. Mathew Brown, the grandfather of Mrs. Hadley, was a native of Indiana and on coming here surveyed the county for the first time. He then returned to Indiana and brought his family to Muscatine county, where he built one of the old fashioned homes. He lost his life indirectly by fighting prairie fires. Two children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Hadley : EDWARD B., born May 1, 1902 ; and JAMES Ward, born May 13, 1906.
