Architect, artist.
Born at Ipswich, England on 16 July 1871, he emigrated to Canada in 1892 and came to Winnipeg. He was employed as a draftsman in the City Engineer’s Department from 1898 to 1906, during which time he designed a pavilion for the Dominion Fairgrounds. He quit his job in 1906 and joined his brother Hugh Rotherham Eade in the architectural and engineering firm of Eade Brothers.
On 11 October 1899, he married Gertrude Elizabeth Green (1869-?) at Winnipeg. They had two children: Marguerite Eade (1900-?), and Roland Cotman Eade (1906-?). He died at Vancouver, British Columbia on 12 July 1916 and was buried there.
