General Notes: Husband - John M. Dale

---

His parents removed from Neshannock Falls, Lawrence County, PA, to the old homestead in Centre County when he was about three years old, and continued to reside there. He entered The Pennsylvania State College in 1878, and graduated with the class of 1882. The same year he began the study of law and, in 1883, entered the law offices of Beaver & Gephart at Bellefonte, and, under their direction, read law and was admitted to the Bar of Centre County on the 1st of January, 1886. Directly after his admission to the Bar, he went to Lock Haven, where he engaged in the practice of law in connection with Capt. W. C. Kress, of that place, later the State Law Reporter. On April 12, 1886, Mr. Dale returned to Belle­fonte and entered the office of his former precep­tors, and, on the election of Gen. Beaver, in the fall of 1886, to the gubernatorial chair, he be­came a member of the firm, which was styled Beaver, Gephart & Dale. This partnership con­tinued until November 1, 1893, when Mr. Gep­hart withdrew, in order to give his entire time to the Valentine Iron Co., and the new Central Railroad Co., of Pennsylvania, of which he was chosen general superintendent. Gen. Beaver having returned to Bellefonte upon the expira­tion of his official term, and once more actively engaged in the practice of law, a new firm was formed under the name of Beaver & Dale. This firm continued the practice of law until the first of July, 1895, when, owing to the fact that Gen. Beaver was appointed to the Bench of the Supe­rior Court of Pennsylvania, it was dissolved, and Mr. Dale then began practicing law alone. Mr. Dale was always a Republican in pol­itics, and took considerable interest in the success of the Republican party. He was con­nected with the County Committee in 1889 and 1890, and in 1891 was elected chairman of the County Committee, in which capacity he served for one year. [CBRCP-CCJC, 241]
