About Justice Decius Spear Wade
http://politicalstrangenames.blogspot.com/2013/07/decius-spear-wade...
Born into a family influential in Buckeye State politics, Decius Spear Wade's story begins on January 23, 1835 in Andover, Ashtabula County, Ohio. Our subject was the second born son of Charles and Juliet Spear Wade and was the nephew of Benjamin Franklin Wade (1800-1878), U.S. Senator from Ohio (1851-1869) and President Pro Tempore of the Senate who was one of a number of Radical Republican senators who led the charge in the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson.
Wade married in Ohio on June 3, 1863 to British native Bernice Galpin (1843-1912) with whom he had three children, Alice (died aged one month in 1864), Clare Lyon (1868-1966) and Charles (died aged three months in 1872). Clare Lyon Wade was the only one of the Wade children to live to adulthood and went on to graduate from the Wellesley College in 1890. She would later marry in 1904 to William Edward Safford (1859-1926), a noted botanist and ethnologist in the employ of the U.S. Government. Safford would go on to further distinction as the first Lieutenant Governor of Guam, serving in this position from 1899-1900.
