Biography

Born at Dundee Lake (now part of Elmwood Park, New Jersey), Cadmus attended public schools in New Jersey. After finishing schooling, he engaged in the feed and grain business in Paterson, New Jersey. He served as member of the New Jersey General Assembly in 1884 and 1885, as well as Sheriff of Passaic County 1887-1890.
