Obituary- Wade, Henry 1

Henry T. Wade
Few men leave a community so quickly and are such a great loss as was Henry T. Wade. At an age when most men are beginning to live comfortably and are planning to semi-relax for their remaining lives, Henry Wade was buried this week.

Marshal Wade was known in the community not only as the law enforcer but recognized by the community people as a friend. He represented the community with a smile. His good manners were many times carried away by visitors who required his help and visitors who will always remember Rossville as a friendly community.

Marshal Wade stood for loyal and enthusiastic support of the community. His every appearance before the public was one more proof to the community of his ever loyal support for the community welfare. If Mr. Wade spoke harshly, he spoke in what the community stood for, fair law enforcement and a right to be safe on the public streets.

His duty to the community sprang from something more than duty as a law enforcer. Mr. Wade treated men of ill-moral well. He always did his best to stear a wrong-doer in the right direction. An arrest to Mr. Wade was not only a call of duty but an attempt to set a wrongful person on the right road of correction. Few law enforcing persons carry their duties along beside such friendliness, moral building, and community service as did Henry Wade.

God's benediction came down quickly with the day, dropping from the skies, the day Mr. Wade left. His invocation and promise, “Peace on earth, good will to men.”
