History of Hendricks County, Indiana (1914)

Edom R. Hadley, the son of James and Mary (Richardson) Hadley, was born in North Carolina in 1819, and when six years of age, came to Hendricks county, Indiana, with his parents, and settled two and one-half miles west of Danville on Mill creek. There his father entered land from the government and at the time of his death owned six hundred acres. Here in the wilderness and amidst pioneer conditions which have long since disappeared, Edom R. Hadley grew to manhood and here married Louisiana Vannice, daughter of Peter and Sallie (Smith) Vannice. For fourteen years after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Edom R. Hadley lived one mile west of Danville, at which time they moved to the present home farm of two hundred and eighty acres, three miles north of New Winchester. On this farm Mr. Hadley died in March, 1888, having lived a full and complete life in every sense of the word. He and his wife were members of the Cumberland Presbyterian church and to this church he gave his conscientious service. Three children were born to bless their union: Jennie, the wife of George W. House, of Danville, who is the mother of three children, Ida, Nettie and George; Milton M., whose history is reviewed later in this article; Charles L., who married Jennie Kurtz, and lived on a farm two and one-half miles west of Danville until his death; he left two children, Dovie and Myrtle.
