Riassunto

Excerpt from Encyclopedia of Pennsylvania Biography, Vol. 4

Meanwhile, Mr. Wade was active in other directions. He organized a night school for the farmer boys who were his equals in years but his inferiors in knowledge. The school was continued 1during the winter months for two years, and Mr. Wade ac quired local renown by his proficiency in mathematics, being distinguished among the youths 0f the neighborhood as the larned one. In May, 1810, Mr. Wade's term of apprenticeship expired and he went to New York, where he entered the service of John F ream, who was a very active party poli tician of the Jefferson school and a mem ber of the Tammany Society, to a branch of which Mr. Wade had belonged at Peeks kill. He now became a zealous member of the New York society, and assisted in lay ing the cornerstone of the renowned Tam many Hall, which was. Later so conspicuous in the political history of the City and State of New York. He was not, however, in sympathy with the organization, and felt that his time was better spent at his work, in which he was making rapid advance ment. Mr. Fream obtained a contract from the city authorities to make the window sashes for the new city hall in the park. About one-half the sashes had circular heads and these, as the most diflicult to construct, were assigned to Mr. Wade and all the window sashes of that description, now in that building, are the work of his hands.
