Ira Hale Passes
Away Sunday
at His Home

Ira Hale, well known and es-
teemed county citizen. died sud-
denly at his home at Stratton on
Sunday morning. He arose early,
as was his custom, and helped
prepare breakfast, and the fam
lily had just started to partake of
the morning meal when, without
warning, the end came for the
head of the household.
Burial was near the Hale home
on Mcclure Tuesday, a great
crowd of friends and neighbors
attending the last rites. Religious
services were conducted by Ed
ers Jack Kiser, Riley Hale and
Willard Martin.
He was critically i'll and was
not expected to recover for a
time some years ago while living
near Clintwood, but had enjoy
ed a fair degree of health for the
last few years and was active in
his business affairs until the last
day of his life.
Mr.. Hale was born and reared
on Mcclure and was nearing his
18th birthday. He was reared on
a farm, but spent the greater
part of his mature life in the
sawrnill business. He served a
term or two as deputy sheriff
many years ago and later served
as deputy u. S. marshal for this
and two or three adjacent coun-
ties.
He is survived by the widow
and the following sons and daugh
tiers: Bill Hale, Mrs. Alex Sykes,
Mrs. Neil Norris and Mrs. Ger
trude Morgan. It will be remem-
bered that his eldest son Hanson
Hale, was killed only a w
months. ago when a car he was
driving went over the road on a
steep hill leading to Nealy Ridge,
and that another son, Dewey
Hale, was killed in car wreck
near Pound a few years ago.
