MRS.SAMUEL S. HALE

DEATH COMES WITHIN A WEEK TO THIRD MEMBER OF FAMILY AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS

The community was saddened Wednesday to learn of the unexpected death of Mrs. Samuel S. Hale after a few days' illness of pneumonia. She was removed to the Oxford hospital on Saturday of last week. On Monday her condition became serious, and her death came Wednesday at 1:00 o'clock. Her mother, Mrs. Mary D. Arrison, died last Thursday and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Julie Eastman, of the same household, passed away on Monday of this week.

Anna Arrison Hale was the daughter of the late Mary D. and John R. Arrison and was born June 27,1868 in Jersey City. When a small child, she along with her mother and sisters, came to Oxford to live. She was a student of Oxford Academy and later taught school for several years.

In June 1898 she was united in marriage with Samuel S. Hale and the first years of their married life were spent in Oxford. Later they lived in Syracuse, and Cleveland, Ohio. While in Syracuse she was a member of the Fourth Presbyterian Mission Church of that city and was a member of the Presbyterian Mission church while in Cleveland. Upon her return to Oxford, she identified herself with the Congregational Church.

Mrs. Hale was an earnest worker in the Sunday School, having been for several years Superintendent of the Primary department. Always very musical, her presence in the church choir was a very great help. She was also an active worker in the Ladies Aid Society and the Missionary Outlook Club. She was interested in everything that pertained to the welfare of this community; a member of the Round Robin Club and of the Joseph Jefferson club and took a prominent part of work of the Ladies Village Improvement Society and will be greatly missed in these organizations as well as by a large circle of friends.

Mrs. Hale is survived by her husband, Samuel S. Hale, and one sister, Mrs. James S. Parsons, and a nephew, Holister Parsons, of Washington, D.C. The funeral services will be conducted by Rev. John M. Chambers from the Congregational Church Chapel on Saturday at 2:00 o'clock. Interment in Riverview Cemetery.
