able to leave the hospital and
that his time on earth was short.
Turning completely to the
Great Physician in this great
emergency through the help of
Loving Christian Science prac-
titionerS, the door opened for his
release from the hospital for a
one week trial, although his
wife was warned she was under
taking a task she could not
accomplish. Knowing that there
was no task too great for God
and that He really was the Great
Physician, the journey started
homeward and he never had to
return to the hospital again,
leaning completely and wholly
on Divine help.
In few weeks a wonderful
opening came to him to become
business manager of a weekly
newspaper in Bethesda, Mary
land, suburb of Washington,
d. c. This he executed with great
financial success to the news
paper over its past record.
But God was working His pur-
pose out in this farm lads life
and he was called to do a highly
important investigational assign
ment which involved great in
terests and the very government
itself. This work took him all
over the eastern half of the
United States and gave him the
only unconditional pass to all
government agencies, industrial
plants and Army Navy depart
ments held by an individual in
the United States, this during
World War II, and this case was
settled to the satisfaction of all
involved. His life was endang-
cred many times during this in
vestigation but he came through
1t all safely, guided and pro-
tected by a Higher Power on
which he had learned to lean.
AS a result of this experience
he brought out a book published
by one of our greatest publishing
houses with offices in New York
and London. No one but himself
could have done this work and
God had prepared him for it by
the years of concentrated effort
he had been compelled to put in.
After this intensive assignment
which lasted about three years
and was the greatest achieve
ment of his life, he seemed to
again suffer a period of physical
problems.
Yearning to return to his
native Ohio and again see his
two remaining sisters, their fam
lilies and his Baby Brother now
so successfully launched in a life
of industrial service. He returned
to his brothers home in Newark.
He regained his ability to func-
ton productivity and God un-
folded to him the next step
to use all that he had learned
to create q little home near his
sisters and brother. A wonderful
ten-year period ensued and this
time of his life was filled with
blessings and satisfactions he
had never known before.
His only child, a son by his
first marriage, followed his
fathers footsteps and entered an
Army career with honor to his
country and himself. He married
a wonderful British girl in New
Zealand and they presented four
precious grandchildren to Wade,
the greatest JOY of his life, three
beautiful girls and one boy, little
Wade the III.
The last ten years of his life,
spent in Newark, was spent in
directing a real estate and insur-
ance business with the aid of his
wife and efficient associates. All
the years experience had taught
him just what he needed to know
in this final activity.
God was working His purpose
out all these years in his life
and on Sunday morning, Feb
ruary Is, 1858, he closed his eyes
to this earthly picture, at the
very last engaged in a labor of
love, that of bringing honor to
his home village and section of
Olive through a series of columns
published in the Caldwell
Journal each week, recalling
memories of history and folk
lore gathered through his boy
hood years, study and research.
This work of love brought him
great JOY that posterity might
hold Olive in proper esteem as
the second oldest settlement in
the Northwest Territory. He left
a number of these issues to be
printed and they will be pub
lished posthumously.
