Shaver, F. A., Arthur P. Rose, R. F. Steele, and A. E. Adams, compilers. "An Illustrated History of Central Oregon." ("Embracing Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam, Wheeler, Crook, Lake, & Klamath Counties") Spokane, WA: Western Historical Publishing Co., 1905. p. 769. WILLIAM H. CADLE follows the dual occupation of farming and stock raising, his headquarters being on the Ochoco, nine miles above Prineville. He has a splendid ranch, well kept and properly improved for the business and is one of the prosperous and well-to-do men of the country. He was born in Iowa, on May 9, 1858, the son of James M. and Ellen (Stalcoup) Cadle, natives of Tennessee. They came to Iowa in early days, later crossed the plains, having then a family of five children, and settled on a ranch in California. There the father remained until his death in 1901. Our subject was educated in the Golden State and in 1880, came north to Oregon. He soon selected a location on the Horse Heaven mountain in Crook county and there remained until 1902. Then he came to his present place, purchased a farm and engaged in stock raising and general farming. As stated, he has a fine place and knows well how to handle it in the best manner. He raises cattle and some horses and has good stock. On October 29, 1882, Mr. Cadle married Margaret J. Johnson, who was born in Missouri and crossed the plains with her parents in 1865. A more extended sketch of her parents is given in another portion of this work. To Mr. and Mrs. Cadle, two children have been born, Alpha and Ruby M. Mr. Cadle is one of the successful men of central Oregon. He has gained this distinction all through his business ability and the thrift and thoroughness with which he manages his affairs. He is not only entitled to the prosperity he has achieved but is worthy of the esteem and confidence bestowed upon him by a large circle of admiring friends. ******************* Submitted to the Oregon Bios.
