In page 728 of Portrait and biographical Album..., Enoch Wade is identified as having made one of the early land claims on what is now known as Prospect Hill, one of the four hills making up Burlington, Iowa. Page 732: Enoch Wade had a warehouse on the river bank. Steamboats could land close to the east end, and in that warehouse were stored flour, bacon, cornmeal and other produce. On the next block south were some cabins, and I think Enoch Wade lived in one. This was on his addition, and on Main street above and below Locust, fronting west, there were several cabins. In one Enoch Wade had a store, and Gus Kirshbaum, a brother of our citizen, Joel Kirshbaum, was clerk and salesman. Page 733: William Wade, the father of Enoch, lived in the woods, in a log house, near where Jake Bonn now lives, and the first suit in Des Moines County was a divorce suit-William Wade vs.Abigail Wade-decree granted April 14, 1835. There is now a subdivision known as Wade's Subdivision.
In History of Des Moines County, Iowa..(Chicago: Western Historical Company, 1879) we see that Enoch and his father broke out some sod in 1834 for farming. pg 376. Enoch was on the standing committee to help manage entrance of settlers into the lands of Township 69 . On page 399, we learn that Enoch served on the same group of Grand Jury members for the first court that George Leebrick served on, and that the first divorce case was of Enoch's father and mother, William and Abigail.. Pg 494, Enoch was one of the Trustees elected in the spring of 1837 to incorporate the city of Burlington.
