Belding Banner, 20 Feb 1896

Sherman Hale passed away from this life, Sunday, at 3:20 p.m., aged 27 years, 5
months and 28 days.  He was born in Orleans township and seven years ago was
married to Ella Roberts.  Two children were born to them, one a girl five years
old and the other a boy of two summers.  He was always very healthy until May
1895, when the entire family was taken sick with scarlet fever which lasted
three weeks.  When they had recovered, he was taken sick again in June with
typhoid fever and for seven weeks he was under the care of the doctor and for
most of the time was expected to die at any time.  He recovered, however, but
was left very weak and it was a long time before able to work.  About two weeks
ago he contracted a cold (as nearly everyone here has been having).  Friday
night at twelve o’clock, his condition was considered alarming and he began to
fail rapidly, but was conscious until the last moment.  He was not a member of
any church but on his deathbed he expressed to his companions that he was saved
and could see that distant shore and would die in the triumph of Heaven.  He
leaves a wife, two children, aged parents, one brother, and four sisters to
mourn his untimely death.  The funeral services were held at the F.M. church,
Wednesday, Rev. Mr. Hartle of Orleans, officiating.
