General Notes: Husband - Oliver Jenkins Gaddis


He was raised on the home farm, educated in the old subscription schools of the day, and was a fine penman and good accountant.
He was a thrifty and prosperous farmer, an ardent republican, and deeply interested in the education of his children. A prominent feature of his excellent character, was charity, contributing freely to help the church and aid the worthy poor. None were ever turned from his door who sought food or shelter.
