 HAILE. HALE. 273 studied about a year and a half at Amherst College, but left that institution to enter Dartmouth College, where he graduated with high honor in 1856. After graduation, he studied law in -Springfield, Mass., and was admitted to the bar and practiced for a short time in Boston, after which he re- moved to Hinsdale, N. H., to engage in the. manufacture of woolen goods, and be- came a partner with his father and Hon. Rufus S. Frost, of Chelsea, under the firm name of Haile, Frost & Co. The business of this partnership has been transferred to a corporation called The Haile & Frost Manufacturing Co., of which Mr. Haile is now president. He was married, January i, 1861, to Amelia L., daughter of Ethan S. and Louisa WILLIAM H. HAILE. Burns Chapin, of Springfield. Their chil- dren have been : William Chapin, born December 2. 1S63 (died August 14, 1864), Alice and Henry Chapin Haile. Mr. Haile was a representative in the New Hampshire Legislature from the town of Hinsdale in 1865, '66 and '71. In 1872 Mr. Haile removed his residence to Spring- field, of which city he was elected mayor in 1881. In 1882 and '83 he represented the 1st Hampden senatorial district, in the state Senate, serving as chairman of the com- mittee on military affairs, and of the committee on mercantile affairs, being also a member of the committees on banks and banking, and manufactures. Mr. Haile has always esteemed it a priv- ilege and a duty to render his full share in political work expected of a good citizen, and has long been recognized as a wise counselor among the leaders of the Repub- lican party. His recent nomination by the Republican state convention to the lieu- tenant - governorship emphasizes the fact that he belongs to a class of men whose personal character and unquestioned integ- rity invite the suffrages of those who desire to unite in their public officials good morals as well as good politics. HALE, Edward Everett, a son of Nathan Hale, LL. D., and Sarah Preston (Everett) Hale, was born in Boston, April 3, 1822. After studying at the Boston Latin school, he was graduated at Harvard in 1839. He then spent two years as an usher in the Latin school, and prepared for the ministry with the Rev. Samuel K. Lothrop, and the Rev. John G. Palfrey. In 1842 he was licensed to preach by the Boston Association of Congregational Ministers, after which he spent several years in ministering to various congrega- tions, passing the winter of 1S44 and '45 in Washington. His first regular settle- ment was in 1846, as pastor of the Church of the Unity in Worcester, where he re- mained until 1856. In that year he was called to the South Congregational (Uni- tarian) church in Boston, where he still remains. Mr. Hale's influence is extensively felt in all philanthropic movements. Few men are called upon so frequently in social and benevolent circles, and none respond with more alacrity to the calls of sympathetic and practical deeds of charity than this large- hearted, wise and diligent worker. His co- operation in the organization of beneficent enterprises is a guarantee of their worth and success. His book, " Ten Times One is Ten " (Boston, 1870), led to the estab- lishment of clubs devoted to public spirit, which are now scattered throughout the United States, with chapters in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the islands of the Pacific. These associations have a membership that is supposed to exceed fifty thousand in number, and are called " Harry Wads- worth clubs."
