    ELLIS HALE, Clerk of the Cherokee County Court, was born in Carroll County,
Va., March 25, 1842, and is a son of Fielden L. and Evaline (Anderson) Hale,
natives of Georgia.

    He was a soldier in the late war, and participated in all the battles in
which his regiment, the Twenty-fourth Virginia, took part. He entered the
service as first sergeant, and left it with the rank of first lieutenant. He was
wounded at the battle of Gettysburg; spent six months in the hospital at
Staunton, Va., and was disabled thereafter for service. At the close of the war
he returned to Virginia, and was elected Clerk of the Carroll County Court. At
the end of six months he gave up that office and came to Alabama. He was in the
mercantile business some years at Leesburg, and from there came to Centre. He
was elected County Treasurer of Cherokee County in 1877, and holds that office
at this time, in addition to the clerkship to which he was appointed in 1880.

    He was married while a young man to Miss Nannie Pullen, of Centre. She died
in 1877, leaving one child, Bernard. In October, 1878, Mr. Hale led to the altar
Miss Josie M. Davidson, of Rutledge, Tenn., and the four children born to this
union are named respectively: Marshal E., Benjamin F., Elbert and Anna Bell. Mr.
and Mrs. Hale are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and he is of
the Masonic fraternity.

    The senior Mr. Hale was a merchant and miner in Carroll County. Va., from
about 1840 to 1865. He was also many years Clerk of that county, and
Superintendent of Education. He was a member of the Secession Convention of
Virginia, and held the rank of captain during the war. He settled in Cherokee
County in 1865, and from there returned to Virginia three years later. In 1884
he left Virginia and settled in Volutia County, Fla., where he yet resides, and
is engaged in mercantile business. His wife died in 1855.
