Son of Lemuel Hale and Matilda Topscott. They had 9 children all are buried at Flint Creek except one. Clinton Leroy Hale b. 29 Dec 1893 AL, d. 30 Mar 1974. He is buried at Union Hill.
While studying to become a Doctor John Pryor Hale (better known as Doc Hale) he met and married Nettie Canzader Holmes. She was the daughter of John Marshall Holmes and Cleybourn Clementine Couch. John Marshall's parents were Catherine Derrick Holmes and William Carroll Holmes. Born in 1852, everyone called Cleybourn "Katie". Katie's parents were Urich Couch born November 26, 1812, and Elizabeth Turner Couch born October 12, 1812. Katie's grandfather was Peter Couch.
Doc and Nettie Hale moved to Cullman County in the Flint community, where he had his office, home and apothecary (pharmacy). Doc Hale would fill his own prescriptions and he made his house calls by horse and buggy. Automobiles were not available for him until the early thirty's, where he had a 1932 Chevy Coupe, two door. Told to me by my Uncle Howard Hale while doing this story of our family. Doc Hale never drove, so his son Herman would drive him, later his other son Ted. Doc's house calls carried him into Morgan County to the Whilhite, Eva, Lacon and Union Hill communities as well as Cullman. Doc Hale also did occasional dental work.
The family was very poor, being a country Doctor, most of his patients paid him with a chicken, a bucket of sorghum, or anything else to pay their doctor bills. Cash was a rare commodity. To help make ends meet they would farm, run the mercantile and make their own clothes. Every ones life was hard during the depression years. Doc and Nettie Holmes Hale raised nine children: Clinton Leroy, born 1893, Lanie Harl, born 1896, and who died 1917, in France during WW1.
