General Notes: Husband - Rev. Joseph Dale

---

General Notes: Wife - Mary Gates

---

After the death of her first husband she joined her own family in western Pennsylvania (now Forest County), making the long and perilous journey in wagons with her small children. The family home was for several years in a log cabin, but with the aid of her sons all diffi­culties were surmounted and she lived to see her two sons and daughter grow to be honored members of their community. For a long time prior to the termination of her years, she was tenderly and lovingly cared for by her children, whom she had always shown the example of a Christian life of self-sacrifice and devotion.

After the death of her first husband she moved with her father, that year, to Oldtown Flats, Forest County, two miles up Tionesta creek. Later she married David Hunter, and moved to the farm on which Hunter's station was later located.
