Biography on the memorial (contributor's text, not a primary source):
The remains of William H. Wade, 60 years of age, will be taken to his late residence at Richmond Hill, L. I., late this afternoon by Undertaker Fred Farry , when funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2.30, followed by interment at Greenwood cemetery. Mr. Wade dropped dead on the sand at the Ross bathing grounds yesterday afternoon. Dr. William Robinson, who was summoned, gave heart disease as the cause of death. [Asbury Park Evening Press (New Jersey), Weds., 29 Jul 1908] ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ From a contributor, Nov 2025: The above newspaper incorrectly lists his burial at Greenwood. He is actually buried in a family plot in Maple Grove (Prospect Section, Plot 279, Grave 1).

What it says, against the tree
| Person | Fact | Document says | Tree says | Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| William Henry Wade | Birth | 1848 | April 1848 New York, United States | agrees on the date as far as both go |
| William Henry Wade | Death | 28 Jan 1908 New Jersey, USA | 28 July 1908 Ocean Grove, Ocean Township, Monmouth, New Jersey, United States | conflicts on the date: the memorial's 28 January is wrong; his obituary (Brooklyn Daily Eagle, 30 July 1908) dates his sudden death at Ocean Grove to late July, as the tree has it; the place agrees |
| William Henry Wade | Burial | Maple Grove Cemetery Kew Gardens, Queens County, New York, USA | 1908 Brooklyn, Kings (Brooklyn), New York, United States of America | new to the tree: the memorial gives the cemetery the tree lacks, Maple Grove, where the family plot is (FS-015) |
