William J Dale, was reared to manhood in this county and secured a limited education at the country schools of his boyhood and youth. They were primitive and their scope was wholly elementary, and his opportunities for attending them were meager and irregular. But he made what good he could of his chances and obtained a fair degree of preparation for the battle of life, on which he entered for himself at an early age. After leaving school he learned the carpenter trade and for some years worked at that and farming with some degree of profit and prosperity. He then engaged in business at Old Bloomington for a number of years, and it was at this period that his son, Hemmit, was born in that old historic town. From Old Bloomington the family moved to Macon, where the father resumed work at his trade for a time. In 1884 he again engaged in business, locating his enterprise at Barnesville, where he conducted it for a period of two years. At the end of that period he moved to Mercyville, and for a number of years was one of the leading merchants of that place. He is now living retired from active pursuits at Elmer. His wife died in 1862. At that time he was a soldier in the Confederate Army under General Price, with whose command he served two years. The religous connection of the family has long been with the Babtist Church, and succeeding generations of it have been active and zealous members of that religous organization. [The store in Mercyville in 1887 was called W.J Dale and Son.]
