Last Rites Held April 10 For Alice Hale, 92
Final rites for Miss Alice Hale, 92, of Bedford, long time kindergarten teacher here, were held April 10 at Shum-Novinger Funeral Home in Bedford, conducted by Carl Cummings. Miss Hale died at Colonial Manor in Bedford April 8, 1975. Interment was at Bedford cemetery.
Miss Alice Hale, oldest child of William Asbury Hale and Letha [May] Houck Hale, was born November 9, 1882 at Clarinda, Ia.
The family moved to Bedford when Alice was an infant; most of her life was lived in Bedford.
She went through the grades and graduated from Bedford High School with the class of 1901.
Alice was a graduate of Iowa State Teachers’ College at Cedar Falls. She supplemented her formal education with graduate work at Chicago University and the University of Colorado at Boulder.
Miss Hale taught school for 41 consecutive years in the Bedford Public Schools.
She started her service in the local system by teaching the fourth grade, moving by successive grades to become the kindergarten instructor, in which capacity she served until her retirement in 1948.
Three generations of Bedford children, estimated to be over 1500, have spent their important formative years under the guidance of Miss Hale.
Alice was proud of her native ancestry===when Bedford celebrated its centennial in 1953, and the following year, 1954, when the Methodist Church, of which her maternal grandmother, Eliza Jane Long, was a charter member, held its centennial anniversary.
Alice joined the church when quite young and held beautiful memories of her work in the church when she was active. She was a member of Chapter CU of the P. E. O. Sisterhood for 68 years, and a member of Iowa Retired Teachers Association.
She was preceded in death by her parents and three sisters, Edith, Olive and Edna, [and] one brother, Charles E. [dward] Hale.
She is survived by one sister, Mrs. Carolyn Riffe, St. Joseph, Mo., two nephews, Charles E. [dward] Hale, Bedford, and William E. Hale, Maryville, Mo.; two grand nieces, Shirley and Sherri Hale, one grand nephew, Andrew E. Hale, Maryville, Mo.; other relatives and many friends.
