CLINTON C. HADLEY, druggist, Mooresville, Ind., was born in Brown Township,
Morgan County, Ind., May 11, 1855, and is the youngest of four children of
Isaiah and Emily (Hadley) Hadley, natives of Ohio and Indiana respectively.
He was but about two years of age when his father died. The first sixteen
years were spent by Clinton C. upon the farm, and by devoting a portion of
the time to his studies at the Mooresville school he acquired a good English
education. At the age of eighteen, he began the drug business as clerk for
Joseph Pool, and two years afterward, in the fall of 1875, he went to Mt.
Carmel, Ill., and for one year had charge of a drug house belonging to his
brother. Returning to Mooresville he clerked for Hadley & Harvey,
druggists, until the summer of 1880, when he bought out the interest of the
senior member of the firm, and shortly afterward became the sole owner of
the establishment. Mr. Hadley is a "birthright" member of the Friends'
Church, and fills official chairs in the Subordinate Lodge and Encampment of
the I. O. O. F. He is unmarried, and in consequence very popular with the
ladies, a wide-awake Republican politically, and possessed of all the
essential requisites to an upright citizen and gentleman.
