In the passing Of Mrs. S. V. Hale,
Morgan county not only lost a
cold Star Mother" but mother
with a heart of gold. While we
have known her all our life, we
never appreciated her ability until
we listened and wrote, as she told
of her trip to the grave of her son,
Charley Something tells us We
should re-write some of the things

spent with her getting facts Of her
trip for our STORY The Tombstones

THE Hale family was much like
other Bristol township families.
They went barefoot, as soon as
their boots and shoes gave out in
the spring, and like the rest of us
sometimes before. The family had
keen sense of humor, always see
ing the funny part. The home was
always place you wanted to go
back to. We want to tell you about
the mother, honestly we believe she
missed her calling. Mrs. Hale on
her trip took care of herself and
took in all the sights. She never
called doctor or nurse; and not
only saw and heard and felt, but
remembers and can tell it in a way
we can most imagine we are on the
journey instead Of only listening to
a recital by one who made the jour
ney. And now, and we will never
forget one statement she made.

us, when she said "When we stood
by the graves of our sons we didn't
cry, just stood with bowed heads"
The minister, whoever ne might
be, would have an impossible task
when he attempted to preach on the
funeral occasion-not on account of
