Mrs. Margaret Dale, widow of the late Augustus Dale and well remembered by old residents of this city, died at her home in Philadelphia, aged 93 years. She will be buried in Charles Evans Cemetery, Reading, at 11 o'clock this forenoon. She was a daughter of James and Anne Penn Allen Greenleaf, among the earliest and most prominent residents of Allentown. Her father was at one time, United States Consul at Amsterdam. Mrs. Dale has been in ill health since the mysterious death of her only son, Allen Dale, whose body was found in the Raritan canal last September. She lived a retired life ever since the death of her husband, who committed suicide while imprisoned in the Allentown jail in July of 1832, to which institution he had been committed on account of some family trouble.
