   INGERSOLL LADEN, one of the pioneers and representative men of Wild Cat
Township, was born in Cape May County, N. J., September 7, 1808, and is the
eldest of eleven children born to Perry and Hannah (Vangilder) Laden, natives of
New Jersey, and of English descent. His father died in Rush County, Ind., April
12, 1845. His mother's death occurred in 1856. The subject of this sketch spent
his youth on the farm, and received a common school education. He rented land
near home; he subsequently entered eighty acres in Rush County, upon which he
lived fifteen years; he then sold and removed to Iowa, but ten months later
returned to Rush County and rented land for three years. In the fall of 1853, he
purchased eighty acres of his present home, where he found a small log cabin and
ten acres of ground cleared. Struggling on from year to year, he has made one of
the best homes in the township, and at one time owned 400 acres, but has since
divided 320 acres between his children. Mr. Laden was married December 19, 1830,
to Miss Isabel Allender, of Fleming County, Ky. She was born March 16, 1812, and
is the daughter of George Allender. This marriage has been crowned with twelve
children-David, James W., Hannah E., Elizabeth J., Stephen D., Cordelia A., Mary
C., George W., Samantha A., William, deceased, Joseph P., deceased, and Darius
D., deceased, a soldier, who died from a wound received at the battle of
Vicksburg. Mr. Laden has always taken an active part in home enterprise. He is a
Democrat, and cast his first vote for Andrew Jackson.
