I'm MEMORY OF ]. HALE,
F ORMER MADISONIAN

/ John Hale was born May 2@,
1885, and departed this life at /
io'clock on the evening Of May 2,
1927, at the hospital in Tuscola,
III. His boyhood and young man
hood days were spent on the farm
! Of his father. On the 27th day OF
= October. 1910, in Berea he mar
ricd Miss Marie Chastccn, daugh-
ter of James Chastcen. Almost
the whole Of his married life was

sides his sons, he leaves a broken
hearted wife. his father and mo-

three sisters, Misses Maggie and
Jeanette Hale and Mrs. T. J.
Black; two brothers, Alva and
/ Dewey Hale, and host of rcla-
tivcs and friends to mourn his
loss.
Surrounded by friends and vile,
he peacefully passed away with
out 4 struggle or pain. With the
passing OF each day we are more
reminded of the uncertainty Of
death. In this death how forcibly
we are brought to face the fact
that those young in years as well
as the whitencd heads Of age
must pay this debt.
! How truly. oh, God, docs it
prove to us that there is power
that marks our existence, a divin-
ity that shapes our ends that no
master mind can alter, no human
invention can change.
! He is gone and there is left in
our hearts and home Il vacancy
which no tears can express, no
tongue can tell. no power on earth
can fill. Brave, generous, kind
hearted. he was wanting i'll none
iof the virtues of pure, noble man
hood. True to his family and his
friends. he knew no enemies.
! While he never became a member
! Of a church, he was a firm believer
in the Baptist doctrine He read
his Bible and attended church.
May ii be said that were d flower
