At five o'clock on the evening of July 5, 1901, surrounded by friends and loved ones who were sorrowfully watching, waiting, and praying until the end came, Brother Stephen B. Hale, of West Nashville, quietly passed away. The funeral services, under the auspices of Dr. Morehead and Dr. Peyton, were conducted at the West Nashville church of Christ, after which the remains were conveyed to Spring Hill Cemetery, and there laid to rest, to await the final summons at the last day. Brother Hale's age was thirty-two years, two months, and one day. On December 29, 1900, he was married to Miss Mollie Lewis. His married life was brief, but very happy. He had been a member of the church of Christ for seven years, having been baptized by Brother Will Logan. Brother Hale was a dutiful son, an affectionate brother, a devoted husband, a generous and steadfast friend, an honest and upright man, and a sincere Christian. He will be sadly missed by his widowed mother (from whom he had never been separated) and his devoted young wife. Brother Hale was possessed of a happy, cheerful disposition, having a pleasant word and a smile for every one he met. We should not sorrow as those who have no hope; for God will at the last day raise our departed brother, and we will all be reunited around the throne of God, to sing praises to his name for evermore.

Mrs. Mollie C. Hale, who sues in her own behalf and as administrator of the estate of Stephen B. Hale, deceased, yesterday filed a bill In the Chancery Court against Mrs. Permelia A. Hale, widow. The complainant was the wife of Stephen B. Hale and the defendant is her mother-in-law. The younger Mrs. Hale charges that before the death of her husband he erected a house on a lot of the defendant, the said lot having been located on Sixth Btreet, in West Nashville. She says the understanding was that when the house was finished Mrs. Permelia Hale was to deed the property to her son. The latter died before the deed was executed, and now his widow says that her mother-in-law refuses to recognize the verbal contract. The complainant therefore prays for a judgment against the defendant for $675, which represents the cost of the improvements. -- The Tennessean, September 17, 1901.
