ADEN died at his home in Paris, Tenn., in his 79th year. He was born in the city on Feb. 13, 1842 and had practically spent all his life in Henry Co., where he was widely known and beloved. He had been honored by the people of his county by election to office, having served as county court clerk and also as county judge, but most of his life had been spent on his farm, near Paris. He was a gallant soldier of the Confederacy, serving under Forrest as a member of Company G, 7th Tennessee Cavalry. At one time he was with Stark's company and again with his uncle, CAPT. F.F. ADEN. He was captured and paroled at Paducah, Ky. In early life he became a Christian and so remained through his long and useful life. As a minister of the gospel he brought salvation to many. It was the work he loved, and he used his gift to the glory of God, toiling with his hands for the support of his family. He was a father of 12 children and is survived by 7 sons and a daughter, also a faithful, beloved wife. He was laid to rest in Maplewood Cemetery, attended by his Confederate comrades and many friends and relatives. In his passing his community and State have lost a noble citizen.
