History of Hendricks County, Indiana (1914)
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. She was born in Lincoln county, Kentucky, February 7, 1829, and came with her parents when she was three years of age to this county, where they located in the northwestern part of Marion township, near the Putnam county line. Peter Vannice entered land from the government and lived on his farm of two hundred acres until his death, which occurred in 1888, on February 9th, his wife dying three days later. It is interesting to note that had they lived until the 14th of the same month, they would have been married sixty years. Peter Vannice and wife reared a large family of eleven children, only five of whom are now living : Mrs. Joan Allen, who lives in Iowa; Samuel, of the same state; Mrs. Sarah Ferguson, of Chicago, Illinois; Mrs. Ella Hawkins, of Indianapolis; and Mrs. Louisiana Hadley, the widow of the late Edom R. Hadley. Mrs. Hadley grew to womanhood at a time when none of the modern conveniences were to be had; no pianola was found in the parlor at that time, the music then in the evenings being furnished by the wolves, which roamed the forests and howled around the log cabin. 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. 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.
