Annapolis became his permanent home when he was made State Librarian under Governor Frank'Brown, who also appointed him a colonel on his staff.

At the expiration of his term as Librarian he associated himself with the late George T.

They had no children. Surviving are only nieces and nephews, A. Sydney Gadd, of Contervillo, being one of the number. The friends and associations of Col. Gadd's youth were never displaced; each summer he returned to Denton for a short visit and happily renewed old acquaintance.
