In 1896 he built a large white brick home on the corner of Park and William St W. The home was just across the street from the Brewery. Haedke was very interested in music and was a member and President of the Orpheus Singing Society when the 1902 Saengerfest was held in Waterloo. He was also a member of the early Waterloo Horticultural Society. He was one of the earliest members of IOOF Germania Lodge in Waterloo and was also a member of the Waterloo AF and AM.
