DEEDS<\/u><\/span> \u2013 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

None of the deeds reviewed mention a burial ground. The Hale name associated with this burial ground is largely based upon local lore spanning back several decades. It is unknown exactly when this burial ground was established, however, the Hale ownership of the subject property began with Ruth Hale in 1807 and ended with the heirs of Archibald Hale in 1859. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Deeds referenced have been plotted and contain the subject graveyard, unless otherwise specified. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Deed Book 10, Page 18 (1807) \u2013 James Stuart to Ruth Hale (Hail) \u2013 434 acres. This parcel was split between the conveyance to Archibald (northern section) and one to Mark Hale (southern section). The approximate division line is the present Hales Road. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Deed Book 13, Page 441 (1814) \u2013 Ruth Hale to Archibald Hale \u2013 225. acres.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Deed Book 14, Page 23 (1814) \u2013 Ruth Hale to Mark Hale \u2013 210 acres (For reference only).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Deed Book 27, Page 33 (1846) \u2013 Archibald Hale conveyed a small parcel to the Trustees of the Hales School. This parcel is now known as the Hales Ruritan on Hales Road. The schoolhouse building still stands. This property had been conveyed to Archibald Hale by Deed Book 19, Page 17 \u2013 John & Robert Allison, but did not contain the graveyard area.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Deed Book 37, Page 169 (1859) \u2013 Mary Hale (nee Allison, widow of Archibald) and William K. Hale (son) convey the Archibald Hale farm of about 269 acres to Hugh A. Crawford.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Deed Book 116, Page 418 (1914) \u2013 Daniel Miller to James W. Oliver. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Deed Book 179, Page 81 (1928) \u2013 This 25 acre portion was allocated to Bert Oliver and conveyed to Mary Oliver by this deed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Oliver farm remained substantially intact until 1948 when the farm was partitioned to various heirs. Several deeds were reviewed and some perhaps missed as various family members deeded undivided interests amongest each other and so forth.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Deed Book 254, Page 118 (1950) \u2013 D.W. and Cordelia Oliver to John & Nelle Jones. It is at this time that the subject parcel was conveyed outside the Oliver name.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Deed Book 364, Page 598 (1963) \u2013 Nelle Jones to Raymond Boyer & Gail Willis.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Deed Book 372, Page 215 (1964) \u2013 Boyer & Willis to Jasper & Gertrude Calloway.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Deed Book 430, Page 223 (1969) \u2013 Jasper & Gertrude Calloway to Louis & Reberth Zeller. Tract #1 contains the graveyard. The Zeller family subdivided and created the August Trace Subdivision in 1997 (Plat Book 14, Page 112). The graveyard fell into lot #14 and is shown on that plat. All deeds forward simply refer to lot #14. It has only been recently that the land has been cleared and a home put under construction. Great care has been taken to not disturb the subject graveyard, which is beneath 3 large trees.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
