Mrs. King Hale remembered John Aday going around to parties playing his fiddle. She said he moved back and forth between Arkansas and Oklahoma.

Edgar Hulse said he visited John Aday on the day he died. John had written him that he wated Edgar to come to see him. John was living with his daughter, Vinnie in the Eureka Springs area. John knew he was dying and wanted Edgar to pray for him. John's legs were swelling and he could not lie down. Edgar called it dropsey. Edgar was apreacher and a depty Sheriff form Stone Co. Mo. Some men wer sitting on the proch talking amd makin moonshine. Mr. Hulse started for home the next morning. He recieved word John Aday had died about 10 o'clock that day. Edhar Hulse said John Aday was buried in the Rockhouse Cemetery. I asked if John Aday was a moonshiner and Edgar said no.
