Ulysses Bird, attended the public schools and the Normal National University of Lebanon, Ohio, where he took a special course in surveying and bookkeeping, graduating with high honors in the class of 1885. Our subject has a permanent certificate from the state for teaching and has already taught twelve terms. He has since devoted his time principally to farming and surveying in Sullivan and Bradford counties, being highly successful. In 1885 he purchased fifty-six acres of the old homestead farm, upon which he built a fine modern home, and has since bought an additional tract of one hundred and fifty acres of timberland, engaging in lumbering to a great extent. He is a man of exceptional business ability, honest and energetic, and he occupies a high place in the estimation of his fellow-citizens. Mr. Bird has held all the offices in the Sullivan County Agricultural Society and at this date is president of the organization.

Mr. Bird was united in marriage with Emma McCadden, a daughter of Thomas and Hannah (Lockwood) McCadden. Thomas McCadden was born in England in 1832 and came to the United States in 1868, locating in Philadelphia. Ulysses and his wife are the happy parents of five children: Carl Orlando, born April 28, 1886; LaRue, born April 5,1887; Victor, born January 18, 1889; Lloyd Vernon, born September 7, 1890; and Myra, born October 29, 1894. Mr. Bird has been a life-long Republican and he has served as school director, county auditor for six years, for ten years as justice of the peace, and in 1890 he was census enumerator. In religious views he is a Wesleyan Methodist. He is a member of the Patriotic Order Sons of America and of the Grange. His portrait is shown on another page of this work.
