Warner, Beers and Company, 1885 - Fayette County (Ind.)
WILSON T. DALE, lumber dealer, Connersville, was born in Harrison Township, near Harrisburg, Fayette Co., Ind., October 29, 1824. He was raised on a farm and received a common school education. His father, Alexander Dale, was born in Westmoreland County, Va., February 8, 1786. His mother, Nancy (Tyner) Dale, was born in South Carolina, October 26, 1793. They immigrated to Kentucky in a very early day, and the Indians being numerous and dangerous, they had to move into Craig's Station for safety. They came to this county in 1814, where the mother died June 11, 1835, and the father October 24, 1854.
The subject of this sketch was married February 7, 1847, to Charity Morgan, who was born November 24, 1826, and to this union were born two children: Marcus (deceased) and Manfred, now in the lumber business with his father.
In 1854 Mr. Dale moved to Connersville and engaged in wagon and carriage-making. During the first year of the Rebellion (1861) he made for the Government 100 army wagons in six weeks, which consumed all his material and necessitated his closing up the business. In 1862 he commenced buying and selling lumber, at which he has continued ever since.
In 1864 he was elected Justice of the Peace, and has been re-elected four times since, making five terms, or twenty years' service without cessation, which shows conclusively that he enjoys the respect and confidence of his neighbors and friends. He is a member of the I. O. O. F., Subordinate and Encampment; is a member of the Episcopal Church.
