The ninth child born to Walter and Elizabeth (Mowrey) Braden was raised on his father's farm in Clay township of Decatur Co., IN. He learned the value of the land and the art of agriculture, farming on land near his father, where he raised China and Pole hogs, and also operated a tile factory.
Landa married Mary M. Fugit in Decatur Co., IN, Aug. 12, 1863, the couple parenting nine children. Two daughters, Nancy and Rosa, died young.
Shortly before 1880, Landa moved his family to Vermilion Co., IL where he farmed a few years before relocating in KS. When the "run" for homesteading occurred with the opening of the Cherokee Strip, Landa hastened there, filing a claim on 160 acres of land in what eventually would become the city of Enid. In later years, as parcels of Landa's land were sold, the "Braden Addition" became an integral part of Enid.
Landa loved baseball, and with his brothers, John, Richard and James, played on an oft winning team based in Milford, IN.
