Hettie M. McCan Hale was the daughter of Civil War veteran James Marion McCan and his wife, Amanda Barrett. She was married to Hartwell Jefferson Hale at age sixteen, on August 23, 1908. They had four children: Marvin, Annie Mae, Ruby Jewel, and Jack Carl.
Hettie died in 1918 when her youngest child was two. Marvin and Ruby Jewel died the same year. She was said by some of her nieces and nephews to be buried in Park Cemetery in an unmarked grave. It is likely that Marvin and Ruby Jewel were also buried in Park Cemetery.
In February, 1915, Hettie wrote a letter to inform her brother John of their mother's death. Her simple faith in the Christian promise of eternal life can be seen in her words: "Poor Mama had to leave us. We can never call her back, but if we live the pure and sweet and noble life she lived, we can go to her. I believe if ever a human went to heaven, Mama is there."
After Hettie's death, Hartwell married Eva Shafer. He died November 7, 1955 in Harris County and is buried at San Jacinto Memorial Park.
