Funeral of Mrs. F. J. Hale Held in Battle Creek.--Came to Madison County in the Early '70's
Mrs. F. J. Hale, among the very first settlers of Battle Creek, died Saturday at her home in Norfolk after an illness of several months. Neuralgia of the heart was the immediate cause of death but she had suffered for some time with complications which followed the removal of a cancer. The body was brought to Battle Creek and the funeral was held Wednesday afternoon from the M. E. church, interment being made in the family lot at Union cemetery. Many from Norfolk aside from the large number of friends from this section of the county were in attendance.
Mrs. Hale was a native of Virginia and was married to Mr. Hale in 1872. She came west with her husband and resided on a farm twelve miles southwest of Battle Creek, living in what is said to have been the first frame house erected in that section of Madison County. An early history tells us that in this building Mr. Hale placed a small stock of general merchandise, his wife attending to the business while he conducted a similar business near the present town of Battle Creek. The family moved to Battle Creek in 1878, residing here until about eight years ago when they moved to a ranch near Atkinson and later to Norfolk.
No woman in Madison County enjoyed a wider acquaintance than Mrs. Hale and she made friends of all with whom she came in contact. Possessed of considerable means of her own, her purse was always open to those less fortunate and many of the early settlers will remember her as a ministering angel when sickness and famine threatened their homes. Though born of a southern aristocracy, she readily acquired the ways of the west, never deeming it derogatory to her dignity to freely mingle with those whose station in life was not, perhaps, so exaltd. It was such traits as these which endeared her to all, and by all will her memory be cherished.
There survive besides the husband three daughters, Miss Virginia, a Red Cross nurse now in France; Mrs. Lee Blodgett of Red Cliff, Colo., and Mrs. Elizabeth Zutz of Burke, S.D., and one son, Peyton G. (Major) Hale of Norfolk.
