Ollie Bales, One of County's Oldest Citizens, Dies at 96
Oliver (Ollie) Hawkins Bales of Albany, who at 96 was one of Gentry county's oldest citizens, died on Tuesday, Nov. 9, at the Gentry County Memorial hospital.
Mr. Bales, the son of Ann Rhodus and William H. Bales, was born in Clay county, Mo., on June 15, 1869. At an early age, he moved to Harrison county. He was united in marriage with Lucy C.
