From very early childhood he showed a tendency along educational lines. He was very industrious, loved to go to school, and was always busy. When a boy he trapped and sold furs, raked the wheat fields with a hand rake after the harvesters, and did many similar things to obtain money with which to buy books. He obtained his first geography book by taking up a collection among his brothers and sisters. At the age of 12, he injured one of his limbs by over exercise, and although repeated efforts were made to cure it, he was a cripple throughout life. Often his brothers had to help him to school and in winter they hauled him on a hand sled. He fitted himself to teach and spent the greater part of his life in this work. Teaching was his highest ambition, and he gave of his life unstintedly to it. He was a well known teacher throughout Wood County, [Ohio] having taught in the Dewese and Russ Schools in Weston Township; the Clark School in Milton Township, the Stearns School in Liberty Township, and the Maple Grove in Washington Township [all in Wood Co, Ohio]. At different times he taught night schools, which were attended by many, including teachers. He mad a specialty of English Grammar, and was considered quite a local authority on it. He frequently taught it in the County Institutes. August 10 1865, when 21 years old, Wenman Jr and Pamellia Dewese were married at Perrysburg. She was 8 years his junior, and they had known each other almost from childhood. She had been raised in Hancock County [Ohio] and with her parents had preceded the Wenman Wade (Sr) Family almost 2 years, in their move to Wood County [Ohio]. To them were born 7x children, 3x boys and 4x girls. In 1877 the Wenman Jr and Pamellia Wade Family moved to Labette County, Kansas, and located on a farm adjoining Wenman's brother, Benjamin Franklin 'Frank'. This new country had many attractions, among them: Indians, vast unimproved prairies, large herds of cattle, deer, coyotes, jack rabbits, prairie chickens and rattle snakes. A favorite diversion was hunting in the Indian Territory, which was just across the road from the Wade brother's farms. The failure of crops, caused by the hot winds, and loss of cattle from Texas fever, were very discouraging. Then came the death of his brother, Frank, by accidental shooting, and the death of his little son, Guy Clark in 1878. All these misfortunes were very depressing and they decided to join his brother, Dave, in Missouri Valley, Iowa, where they moved in 1879. He taught school in various places here and his death was attributed to overwork and exposure in his duties in the schoolroom and out. He was one of the promoters of the building of the Christian Church in Missouri Valley and for years served as one of its elders. He was always a very efficient Sunday School Teacher, always observing carefully these two points - 1st) to prepare his lesson during the week, and 2nd) to be on time on Sunday. He and his wife were baptized by: Q A Randall in 1872, and were from then on members of the Church of Christ. He was a diligent student of the Bible and believed in the good effects of practical Christian teaching. He was honest and upright, just and charitable, ever working for the good of others. During all the years he lived in the West he never ceased to long for his early home surroundings and to cherish the memory of his friends and relatives there. He died in Missouri Valley, May 11 1897. In Aug 1894, his wife, Pamellia, suffered a stroke of paralysis, which left her an invalid for the remainder of her life. From this time on she was entirely without her hearing, and was not able to walk alone. During these trying years at the eventide of life, she was tenderly cared for by her children, and especially by her eldest son, Holland Henry Wade, who was ever her strong earthly support and helper and whose filial devotion has been so commendable. She was always kind and uncomplaining, ever thinking of others first and striving to lessen the labors of those around her. She died at the home of her son, Holland, while living near Magnolia, Iowa, February 9 1904.
