Through industry and enterprising, Aaron Rader advanced to a leading position among the substantial farmers of Crawford county, and was regarded as one of the most reliable citizens – a man who in all life's relations commanded the respect and confidence of his fellow men. His birth occurred in Northampton county, Pennsylvania, May 29, 1817, his parents being Peter and Catherine (Fried) Rader. His youth was spent in the state of his nativity and as he grew to manhood he learned the miller's trade, which he followed as a source of livelihood for a number of years. Later he turned his attention to farming and throughout the greater part of his residence in Crawford county he carried on agricultural pursuits.
Believing that he might better his financial condition further west, Mr. Rader removed from Pennsylvania to Crawford county, Ohio, in 1856, and took up his abode in Sandusky township, where he secured a tract of land. With characteristic energy, he began its further development and improvement and in the course of time made it a very valuable property, adding thereto all modern accessories and conveniences. His buildings were substantial and modern, his machinery of the latest improved kinds and he was widely known as a progressive farmer. His business affairs were so well managed that he yearly added to his income, and in the later years of his life he was enabled to live in quiet retirement in the village of Sulphur Springs.
On the 8th of September, 1840, was celebrated the marriage of Aaron Rader and Miss Sabina Bauer, and unto them were born nine children, seven of whom are yet living, namely: Owen Henry, Enos George, Maria Catherine, Jacob Thomas, John David, William Benjamin and Francis Aaron. Two have passed away, James Peter and Franklin. The latter died in Elsinore Springs, California, March 28, 1897. He soon rose to prominence there and taking an active interest in politics became a recognized leader of his party to that city. His fellow townsmen, recognizing his worth and ability, elected him to the high office of mayor in 1894 and his administration was so just, so practical and progressive that it won the commendation of all parties. He was one of the most popular and honored residents of Los Angeles, and when he passed away young and old, rich and poor came to pay their last tribute of respect him whom they had so highly esteemed. He was prominent in Masonic circles and was laid to rest with the beautiful Masonic service for the dead.
Mr. and Mrs. Rader reared a family of children of whom they had every reason to be proud. Three of their sons were gallant soldiers in the Civil War, - Owen H., James P. and Enos G. – all being members of the Forty-ninth Ohio Volunteer Infantry. In his political views Mr. Rader was a stalwart Republican, unswerving in his advocacy of the principles of the partying which he so firmly believed, yet he never sought or desired office as a reward for party fealty, preferring to give his entire time and attention to his business affairs, in which he met with signal success. After a residence of thirty-six years in Crawford county he passed away at his home in Sulphur Springs, on the 30th of April, 1892. His life was ever honorable and he left to his family the priceless heritage of an untarnished name. his widow, now in her seventy-eighth year, is still a resident of Sulphur Springs and has many friends there, as well as in her old home neighborhood in Liberty township.
