1. | HALE, Thomas Lee Jr. was born on 24 Mar 1876 in Rock Port, Atchison Co., Missouri (son of HALE, Thomas Lee Sr. and BREAZEALE, Mary Ann); died on 4 Feb 1938 in Scotts Bluff Co., Nebraska; was buried in Feb 1938 in Fairview Cemetery ~ Scottsbluff, Scotts Bluff Co., Nebraska. Notes: Thomas L. Hale was born and raised at Rock Port Missouri. He was married to Maude Noah July 1, 1901. They lived at Langdon Mo., at St. Joseph Missouri., Howe, Nebr., Stella, Nebr., and then homesteaded in the sandhills of Nebraska 5 miles north of Ashby, Nebr. When I was a baby they were living at Stella, Nebr. where he was section foreman, for the Missouri Pacific Railroad. While living at Stella they had a dangerous experience. One sunday they decided to visit Mom's folks, in a town close to them. He took the hand car that belonged to the railroad and which he was not supposed to use for personel pleasure. Coming home it was dark and foggy. Suddenly a train loomed in front of them with out head lights. He stopped. Mom jumpted off with me in one arm and John in the other. Pop and the three older boys got just 2 wheels of the hand car off the track and had to leave it, when the train hit it completely demolishing it. Pop didn't loose his job or get in trouble with the railroad because the train did not have head lights. In February 1911 they took a homestead 52 miles east of Alliance in western Nebr. He built a 4 room sod house. (get ahold of me at rpbrea@bresnan.net for rest of story.) Thomas married NOAH, Maude Mae on 1 Jul 1904 in Rock Port, Atchison Co., Missouri. Maude (daughter of NOAH, John Crittendon and PARK, Mary Elizabeth) was born on 9 Nov 1884 in Sloan, Woodbury Co., Iowa; died on 22 Oct 1950 in Scottsbluff, Scotts Bluff Co., Nebraska; was buried on 24 Oct 1950 in Fairview Cemetery ~ Scottsbluff, Scotts Bluff Co., Nebraska.
