History

David Hadley came to Perry Township in 1843. While he was a shoemaker, with his family took such an active part in clearing his lands and building mills that when the Lake Shore Railroad was built across the township and a station erected on land he donated, the locality was named Hadley in honor of his worthy life and character. The Hadley post office was established in May 1868, with David Pattison as postmaster, and several years later the town was platted. A barrel factory was the important early industry, also established in 1868. Hadley Presbyterian Church was organized in 1875, and its building dedicated the following year. A Methodist church was organized in 1882 and their building erected in 1884.[4]

David Luse Hadley (b. Dec. 9, 1806 - d. Dec. 2, 1884 age 77 yrs.)
