  WILLIAM W. DALE, M. D., Carlisle, stands prominent among the city's 
public-spirited citizens.  He was born in Lancaster, Penn., a son of 
Col. Samuel and Elizabeth (Gundaker) Dale, the former of whom (Judge 
Dale), was among the many worthy public men of that locality, having 
served with distinction (holding coloneley) in the war of 1812; seven 
years as a member of the Legislature of Pennsylvania; for many years 
associate judge of Lancaster, and in other worthy local official 
positions.  At his death he left five sons, who have borne important 
parts in the public, social, and industrial lives of their localities.  
They are Judge M. G. Dale, of Edwardsville, Ill.; Col. Samuel F. Dale, 
of Franklin; James Dale, druggist, who died in Mechanicsburg, Penn.; 
Charles, and the subject of our sketch, who completed a good literary 
training in Lancaster County Academy and Franklin College, and was 
graduated from the Jefferson Medical College, of Philadelphia, in 1838.  
He then came to this county, and, after spending same years at 
Mechanicsburg, and latterly at New Kingston, removed here in 1847, 
where he has contributed, in no small degree, to the advancement of 
professional work and to the development of the social and industrial 
life of Carlisle.
