From the back of this Indian, killed by Edward Hale, William Wiley, who was in the party of pursuers, took a strip of the Indian's hide, which he gave to Hale and was used by him and a number of his family for many years as a razor strop. . . .

They have been farmers, physicians, lawyers, merchants, magistrates, members of the Legislature and judges. As soldiers they have always been the equals of any that the country has sent forth; they fought, bled and died on nearly every important battlefield of our civil war. Dr. James W. Hale - formerly a distinguished physician - now an able lawyer, residing at Princeton, West Virginia, was a valiant Confederate soldier in the Civil war, Iosing an arm at the battle of Piedmont, Virginia, June 5th, 1864.

Honorable Robert C. McClaugherty, also a great-grandson of Edward Hale, is a prominent lawyer residing at Bluefield, West Virginia. He served four years as Prosecuting Attorney of Mercer County, and eight years as Judge of the 9th Judicial Circuit of West Virginia. The late Captain Higley A. Hale, of Mercer County, was one of the bravest men in his regiment, serving throughout the war 1861-5 with distinction, and was more than once commended by his superior officers for his gallantry and good conduct on the battlefield. Charles A. Hale, a brother of Captain Rufus A., was a highly reputable citizen, made a good record and name as a valiant soldier of the 9th Virginia regiment of cavalry. James Perdue, who died in Mercer County in 1900, at the age of one hundred and one years, was a relative of Captain Edward Hale.
