Adam was a farmer in 1850 in Russell Co., Kentucky. He and Exona must have lost Patience, their only little girl at the time. After which, they chose to make a change of venue. He gave up farming--maybe loading up his family in a wagon and traveled to the Green Castle area of Sullivan Co., Missouri where he and Exona would make their home around 1860. He must have been very skilled in carving of which he used to his advantage and started a cabinet making business.
His son "Arden", 16 years old, was a work hand possibly working with him. Additionally, he had a boarder by the name of James Gageley age 29, from Indiana, who was a cabinet maker as well. It is conceivable that Arden and Adam ran the business as father and son.
He owned $400 in real estate value and $4,307 in personal estate. His business must have been progressing very well which allowed him to take on an extra hand who was from Indiana. A good indicator of this was the influx of new settlers to the area from Pennyslvania, Indiana, New York, Illinois, Iowa, and Tennesse who lived near by his family causing a demand in the industry.
In 1870, Exona along with their daughters were living alone in the Penn Township of Sullivan Co., Missoui. Adam and Arden [Harden] may have been in Illinois at the time making cabinets while Exona stayed behind to attend the hotel. Later, Harden relocated to his old homeplace in Adair Co., Kentucky where he dies in 1877 of Dipthera, a young man of age 33.
