WAYNE HADLEY. On the afternoon of April 3, 2001, the Lord called home the soul of His servant, long-time Canton resident Arthur Wayne Hadley, 85, while he resided at Bradford County Manor.  Born in the Blossburg area August 26, 1915, he was the son of Philip and Florence (Smith) Hadley.  He grew up in Hamilton Township, Tioga County, where he attended the schools of Morris Run and Blossburg, graduating from Blossburg High School.  During the 1930s he was employed as a foundry worker with Ward Manufacturing Company.  When the United States entered World War II he enlisted in the Army.  He served in Italy with the 91st Infantry Division.  Once while on reconnaissance maneuvers, he was pinned down by enemy gunfire.  The situation appeared hopeless, but he prayed for God’s help and the Lord delivered him safety back to his unit.  Mr. Hadley dedicated himself to serving the Lord in any way that he could from that day forward.  After returning to civilian life he worked as a letter carrier out of the Roaring Branch Post Office.  He married a local girl named Harriet Cole, who diedin the later 1950s.  But in a few years another woman came to brighten his life, Kathleen McLean, who was then living in Elmira, had met him in the first grade and had known him throughout high school.  As a teen he had attempted to start a relationship with Kathleen but she declined citing her plans for leaving the area and further her education.  A mutual friend who had kept in touch with Kathleen over the years brought the two together and on June 27, 1964 they were united in marriage.  In 1967 they moved to Canton.  Mr. Hadley never forgot his promise to the Lord.  He became an active member of the Canton United Methodist Church and its successor the Canton Ecumenical Parish.  He served in numerous capacities and was always present when work needed to be done.  Just like the Levities of Bible times, he tended to the daily tasks necessary to keep the House of the Lord running smoothly.  He was active in several area organizations; a member of the Canton V.F.W. Post No. 714; the 91st Infantry Division Association, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows in Blossburg; Canton Lodge No. 415, Free and Accepted Masons, the Valley of Towanda Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite; Valley of Williamsport Consistory; the Royal Arch chapter No. 261 in Troy.  Surviving are his wife, Kathleen, at home; brother and sister-in-law, Clyde and Lucille Hadley, Leisure City, FL; brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Charles and Clara Cole, Ogdensburg; sisters-in-law, Eleanor Hadley, Florida; Leowa Hadley, Elmira; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.  He was preceded in death by his first wife, Harriet; his twin brother, James; brothers Glenn and Philip.  Funeral services were conducted from the Canton Ecumenical Parish, 43 N. Center St., Canton, April 7, with Pastor Nancy Lee Goff, officiating.  Those wishing to honor Mr. Hadley’s memory may do so through the Canton Ecumenical Parish Memorial Fund in care of the church.  Professional services were entrusted to Morse and Kleese Funeral Home of Canton.  –Canton Independent Sentinel.
