He was at one time very wealthy, possessing vast bodies of land, and one of the most beautiful homes in Jackson County. The hill lands are clean and well sodded with bluegrass, and the bottoms are poles wide, smooth and fertile. The house stands on a gentle elevation, overlooking acres and acres of wide bottom lands, and barns, carriage and tool houses and all convenient out buildings stand close. It is the old James Rader homestead, and stands on the left of the road, less than a half mile above Scale Run, and about one and a fourth miles from Mill Creek. "Uncle Hart" Rader served one term as Assessor of Jackson County, and proudly says he rode over the whole county himself, taking the assessment without any assistant. He served in the Legislature of 1871, and was two years County Surveyor. He died at Sandyville, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Emily Patterson, in 1909. His wife was Ruanna Wright, daughter of Ben Wright, Jr., born April 10th, 1827, died July 3rd, 1911, aged eighty four years. They were married December 22nd, 1842, by Rev. Daniel E. Merrill, and raised twelve children, three of whom were living in 1911. Most of their children have preceded them to the Great Beyond. Seven of them are lying in a row in the shadows of the old graveyard. Each had a neat and modest little slab of marble at the head, but since the building of the railroad, these have been replaced by a single monument more ostentatious. The malady which took so many of the children in the same year was, I believe, diphtheria. The children of Hart Rader, copied from their family Bible, is as follows: Emily Jane, born in 1844, married Marion Clifford, who died. She then married a Patterson. Sarah Elizabeth, born in 1846, died 1875, married Henry Bord. Mary Isabel, born in 1850, died in 1855. James Benjamin, born in 1852, married Mary Sergeant. Isadore Trainer, born in 1849, died in 1869. Edward Clinton, born in 1854, died in 1860. Cora Ann, born in 1856, married George Armstrong. Lena Augusta, born in 1859, died in 1861. Lida Fenton, born in 1861, died in 1876. Ferdenand Ferrando, born in 1863, died in 1876. Dr. William Cordett, born in 1867, died in 1876.
