L. O. Wade (Eunice News, 1 Jul 1965) The following was written about L.O. Wade after his death:
LO. Wade dies at age of 84 Death has claimed Lemuel O. Wade 8 of 401 S. 2nd St., a Eunice man who has played a prominent and progressive part in the community throughout his 60 years of residence here. Mr. Wade died at 10 a. m. yesterday, (Wednesday) June 30, at Moosa Memorial hospital, where he had been admitted for diagnostic surveys. He had been subject to heart ailments for some time.
Wade came to Eunice in 1905. He was a native of Bowling Green. Kentucky. In 1906, he started one of the two first cotton gins, the L. O. Wade Go. In those days 10-cent cotton was viewed as commanding a good price. About 5.000 bales of cotton were ginned yearly in Eunice. Wade ran a farm on which he experimented with cotton varieties and subsequently introduced DPL-4 cotton seed to Louisiana. His cotton gin operations grew until he operated 11 gins scattered throughout Louisiana, at one time.
Progress of Eunice was a prime motive in Mr. Wade's many projects, He drilled the first deep well, installed the first electric plant, and opened the first movie house. He saw Eunice grow from a tiny village of 500 people when he arrived here to a city of 12,000.
Funeral arrangements were pending at press time. Mr. Wade was a member of the First Methodist Church. He is survived by a son, L. D. Wade of Eunice: a daughter, Eunice Wade of Shreveport; two grandchildren and one great-grandchild. (Eunice News, 1 Jul 1965)
