Notes - The Sleep of the Just.
Mr. Elijah Hale, after reaching the ripe old age of 77 years, 6 months and 3 days, passed to the other shore at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Danner, in this city at five o'clock Wednesday evening, after an illness of several weeks. Uraemic poisoning, caused by kidney trouble, is given as the reason of his demise. The funeral services were conducted at the M.E. church this morning at ten o'clock by Rev. E.C. Horn, and remains laid to rest beside those of the companion who spent many years of life's joy and vicissitudes with him, and whose death occurred abut six years ago. Elijah Hale was born January 6, 1825, near Peru, Indiana. About the time of attaining his majority he moved to Illinois, in which state he married. After a residence several years there and in Iowa, Mr. Hale moved to this section of Nebraska - some sixteen or seventeen years ago. His genial, kindly nature is lost to many appreciative friends as well as the relatives. He had passed his life singularly free from bodily ailments and old age left no trace with his serene disposition. Three sons and two daughters owe existence to the deceased. George and John Hale, who were among the first settlers of Alliance, William, who is in Washington and unable to reach here; Mrs. J.W. Danner, Mrs. D. Ritterhouse, whose homes are in our city. Elijah Hale's long life chapter is closed, and while the sorrowing relatives mourn and have the sympathy of the community, he sleeps peacefully.
