Early Years
Weadick was born in 1885, in Rochester, New York. He was a well known Wild West performer, on and off the vaudeville circuit. Weadick worked the vaudeville circuit all across North America and Europe, performing rope tricks in a fifteen minute western act. He was popular in the United States and Europe. His career led him to meet his eventual wife, Grace Bensell, another famous trick rope rider, performing under the stage name of Florence LaDue. As a couple, they toured the vaudeville halls and circuses of Europe, before coming to Western Canada. When not traveling, they lived together in Wyoming.

“The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If we can “boondoggle” ourselves out of this depression, that word is going to be enshrined in the hearts of the American people for years to come.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
