Dale, John, (deceased) was born in Perry county, Pennsylvania, October 8,
1806. He was a son of Christopher Dale, also a native of Pennsylvania, of
English descent. His mother died when he was an infant. He was reared on a
farm and learned the weaver's trade. His wife, Christina, nee Myers, was
born in the same neighborhood as himself on December 28, 1804, and they
were united in marriage August 14, 1827. Mr. Dale owned a farm in his
native state, which he tilled. He came thence to Wabasha county in 1865
and bought a farm on section 24, Zumbro township. He died December 23,
1882, at the residence of his eldest son, Daniel. His wife died July 7,
1877. Six sons and one daughter survive them: Daniel, Jacob M., Samuel,
John W., Mary Ellen (Mrs. David Myers), Levi A., and Simon W. The third
son resides at Fostoria, Ohio; the fourth at Zumbro Falls, the daughter at
Wellington, Kansas. Mr. and Mrs. Dale were Dunkards in faith.
