General Notes: Husband - George McClellan McFadden


His boyhood was spent in attendance at the local schools and in assisting on the home place, where he gained a thorough knowledge of the essentials of general farming, in which line of work he has continued satisfactorily. The first year after his marriage he hired out by the year, being employed on the Hollister farm, and then engaged in agriculture on his own account as tenant on the farm of his wife's brother Samuel V. Walter, in Clinton Township, continuing to rent that place for seven years. Meantime he had bought a tract of twenty acres adjoining, and Mrs. McFadden having traded her portion of her father's estate for the farm where they were living, containing twenty-nine acres, they had forty-nine acres, where they made their home until 1910. Mr. McFadden worked diligently to improve this tract, building a good house and barn, as well as convenient outbuildings, and getting the soil into good condition, the value of the property having increased greatly by the time it was sold. It is now [1919] the home of Lew Morrow. It lies in the oil belt, and had ten producing wells during Mr. McFadden's residence there. Upon disposing of that place, in 1910, Mr. McFadden bought his present home in Clinton Township, the Scott farm of sixty-three acres, situated three miles east of Clintonville. Not long afterward his wife bought the seventy-five-acre tract adjoining, another Scott farm, and there is a set of buildings on each portion, the second tract being operated by Mr. McFadden's son-in-law, who lives there. Mr. McFadden has been improving his place systematically since he settled there. There is plenty of limestone on the tract, which he has used liberally to enhance the productiveness of the soil, practically all of which is available for planting and is under cultivation in general crops. By persistent industry he has succeeded in improving the yield greatly, and he has also kept up the buildings in the best of condition; the house was built mainly during his ownership. Though interested in the general welfare Mr. McFadden has not taken any part in public affairs, holding no offices, but voting for good men, and supporting the Democratic Party on national issues. He attends the M. E. Church at Clinton. [CAB, 1059]
