Cade, Rev. Baylus, one of the most distinguished preachers of West Virginia, was born Sept. 3, 1844, in Barbour County, now a part of West Virginia. He made a profession of faith and was baptized on Dec. 9, 1864. In October 1866, he entered Richmond College as a student, remaining there until June 30, 1869. He was ordained in 1869 and began his work as a minister, and he is now (1880) filling one of the most important positions in the State, as pastor of Greenbrier church at Alderson, to which work he is devoting all his time and energy. Mr. Cade took a very active part in establishing Shelton College, giving liberally to its support, and inducing others to follow his example. His work in connection with this institution has been very laborious, but he has the satisfaction of enjoying the success of his labors. His extensive reading and retentive memory, united with great native ability, place him in the front ranks as an organizer and leader in our denominational movements, and in his ministerial calling.
