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.

Famous quotes related to early years:
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
