ELIAS RECTOR CHEADLE was born in Gaines County, Choctaw Nation, in 1859, . He attended the neighborhood school until the age of twenty one years. He is the third son of the late JAMES STEWARD CHEADLE, who was County Judge of Coal County, Choctaw Nation, and District Judge of the Chickasaw Nation for one term.
RECTOR married MARY HARKINS in 1889. She is the daughter of COL. G.W. HARKINS, of Chickasaw fame.
Mrs. Cheadle, a beautiful and accomplished young lady, died in less than half a year after her marriage.
Mr. Cheadle was admitted to the bar in 1890, and being a very brilliant young man, has undoubtedly a bright career before him. He is an old Mason for so young a man, and has held the office of Secretary of South Canadian Lodge No. 22, for quite a length of time.
He owns one thousand, four hundred and fifty acres of farm land, of which four hundred and fifty acres are under cultivation; also four hundred head of stock cattle, seventy five head of horses and mules, and two hundred head of hogs.

On his mothers side Mr. Cheadle belongs to the Oka-la0fa-lay-a clean, while his father was a Chicksaw of the house of Cush-ke-re.
When only eight years of age the late Mrs. Cheadle went to Bloomfield academy. At the expiration of her school career in 1885, at the age of sixteen, she was appointed music teacher by the superintendent at the institution, and three years afterwards held the same position in the Chickasaw Male Academy, until she married Elias RECTOR CHEADLE, of South Canadian.
She was remarkable not only for her amiable disposition and refinement of manner, but for her many antural talents. She was an excellent musician and an artist with both pencil and brush. She died May 26, 1889, four months after her marriage.
