home here June 8, 1908, aged 81
years. He passed away as he lived,
happy and strong in the faith of
Jesus Christ.
He was born June 90, 1912, in
Floyd county, Ky. His father,
John Wesley Hale, died few days
before his birth, and he was bound
when an infant to Thomas Bur-

Through the influence Of Burchett
and wife he was converted and in
1856 he joined the northern branch
of the NJ. E. Church, and for 81
years lived a devoted christian life
in the church OF his choice.
In 1861 when the Civil War
broke out, he went to Prestonsburg
and volunteered under Captain d,
j. Burchett, Captain OF Co. X, l4th

the boy met with an accident by hav-
ing very severe injury inflicted to

bore. This injury had very strange
effect upon his mind and ever after he
was inclined TO do crooked work--never

OF Kaysville, who say further that he
was never known to speak a cross word

We're the result of mental affection pure
