Said or Written to the Censor

j. Wesley Cade, Viroqua: 1T was fifty
years ago on August third since my
fathers family, Captain Thomas Cade,
made entrance to Vernon county, locat-
ing on the place near Liberty Pole
where the family has since lived
and where one of my brothers and
mother are still located. We came from
Michigan where | was born, as were
my other six brothers and sisters. We
came through with OK and horse teams.
In passing through Chicago my father
had stolen from him a dog for which he
had been rendered yoke of four-year-
old steers. Here accompanied our fam
lily Robert Horribly and Christian Dach,
neither of them married. We were
three weeks on the road, our route
being through the lead regions of Grant,
Lafayette and Iowa counties, crossing
the Wisconsin river near Bridgeport
The route to our destination was by
Mt Sterling and the Black River road
and was little more than trail at that
early date. My father died about TWEEN
ty years since. Mother lives with
brother David at the age of ninety-two
years. and aside from being con firmed
cripple, somewhat deaf and defective
in eyesight, is apparently as sound in
body and mind as fifty years ago. While
! may be mistaken, yet l believe she is
the only mother living in Vernon county
who had sons in the Civil war. Ifthere
are others | would like to have il so
announced in the CENSOR. The mar
velous change that has come over this
part of Wisconsin and Vernon county
in fifry years the average man is in
capable of perceiving and approaching. !"
John Il. Side: During the month of
July sold over four car loads of grain
and feed to dairymen and farmers in
this section. The shortage of pastur-
age has created big demand for grain,
feed and hay and the prospects are
that the demand has but begun. An
other dry month will mean greater
continuation Of this need for outside
feedstuffs for man and beast %

ley than the rest Of you: only two or
three rains in the past better than two
