General Notes: Husband - Hiram Miles Dale
He was born June 14. [HVC 1879, 590]
He was a youth when the family settled in Venango County, Pennsylvania. He remained at home until nineteen years old, meantime getting a valuable practical training under his industrious father. He was barely of age when he enlisted, in August, 1862, as a member of Company F, 121st Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, remaining in the service until June, 1864. He took part in many important battles, including the engagement at Gettysburg, where he was shot through the left lung, being so severely injured that he still feels the effects of his wound. Returning home after his military service, he located near Pleasantville, in Oil Creek Township, and for the next five years was en-gaged in the oil business at that location. Selling his interests there, he spent one year in Oil City, until he purchased oil property in Cranberry Township, near Franklin, moving thither in March, 1873. He immediately commenced the production of oil on this tract, which he operated, alone or with partners, having at times as many as seventy wells yielding there. He had another lease on the Henderson farm near Titusville, the operations on these two places keeping him well occupied. His sons shared his interests in the old farm in Cranberry Township where he started operations in the seventies, and one of them, Oscar M. Dale, was in partnership with his father in the opera-tions near Titusville. In 1898 Mr. Dale moved from the farm to Franklin. He had membership in the Methodist Episcopal Church at Franklin, and socially he was a Grand Army man, affiliated with Maj. W. B. Mays Post, No. 220, at Franklin. [HVC 1919, 837]
