FRANZ QUADE, Hamilton Township, is a native of Prussia, where he was born the 23d of June, 1829, and is the eldest son born to Frank and Clara Quade. His early schooling was received in his native country, where all are compelled to attend. After leaving school at the age of fourteen, he went back to the farm, where he remained until his twenty-second year, when he entered the German army. After five years in the service of his country he left the Army and embarked for America, landing in Baltimore August 19, 1856, from whence he came directly to Jackson, and settled on a farm in Hamilton Town-ship, where he still resides. When Mr. Quade came to Hamilton Township he was almost without a dollar, but by his unremitting energy and unceasing industry, he soon possessed himself of one of the best farms in Jackson County, which is at present in a high state of cultivation. March 25, 1858, Mr. Quade was united in marriage with Miss Louisa Stinecamp, a native of Prussia, and to this union have been born eight children: Fred, Anna, Henry, William (deceased), Edward, Frank; Willie and Adeline (deceased). Mr. and Mrs. Quade are consistent members of the Lutheran Church. - History of Jackson County, Indiana by  Brant and Fuller, Chicago, 1886, Page 667
