The Hales Family still living in Kent can provide us with additions and corrections for the next edition of The Hales Chronicles.

Five printed copies of the Old Series Hales Newsletters that have been scanned, corrected for spellings, and edited, are now at the bookbinders. I plan to send these copies to: The Family History Library of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; The Library of Congress; The Society of Genealogists Library at London, England; The Centre for Kentish Studies at Maidstone, Kent, England; and The Allen County Public Library at Ft. Wayne, Indiana – The PERiodical Source Index (PERSI) people.

I will make a Xerox copy of the Old Series Hales Newsletters, soft-cover bind them using the Velo-bind process for the cost of $30.00 postpaid for anyone who wants them.

(The Daily American – Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee – March 7, 1879). Thrown off an embankment. While Henry Brackman, Jr., and Henry Hales were riding on North College street, near the corner of Jefferson street, yesterday, the horse attached to the wagon in which they were seated ran off the embankment, throwing them both out. Brackman had his right leg broken just below the knee, and Hales was bruised up badly about the breast.

Born 4 APR 1943 of Gingindlovu, Zululand, South Africa the son of George William Thomas HALES and Maud Lillius MacKINTOSH. Died 7 AUG 1944 of Diphtheria and is buried at Gingindlovu, Zululand, South Africa.

RONALD BURNS HALES

Peace reigned over the city of Ogden, Utah on the 5^th day of December in 1937 – as indeed it should have at 2 a.m. on the Sabbath – except for a small, white-framed house at 3801 Kiesel Avenue. Here the case was different as a certain individual was kicking up quite a fuss ... and who shouldn’t kick if he’d been kept locked-in for over nine months? Well, he finally got his way and shortly after the hour of two took his first upside-down look at the big, wide world outside.

Being born near the first part of the month his parents probably wanted to call him Bill, but the name Ronald won the decision upon more serious contemplation. In gratitude for the special care which the family’s osteopathic physician, Dr. Margaret M. Burns, had rendered during the tumultuous night (and during the previous births of the infant’s older brother, Melvin Ray, and sister, Gloria Carole) his parents gave him the second given name of Burns. Thus the nomenclature was established which would identify this red-faced, blue-eyed, brown-haired infant for the rest of his mortal life. And thus was born the third and last child to the household of Nondas and Melvin Donald Hales.

Pop Hales was a well-built Utahn (a former farmer and amateur wrestler) with a wonderful sense of humor, a fantastic dedication to the principle of hard work, a great heart ruled by generosity to others, and a firm disciplinarian who, as son Ron soon discovered, believed in the old adage that a modest pat on the back develops character – if given young enough, often enough and low enough! Dad specialized in the field of construction and became a very successful building contractor. The Hales genealogy goes back to Kent, England. Melvin’s great-grandfather, Charles Henry, sailed to America in 1832.

Mom Hales was wonderful example of the species said to be made of "sugar and spice and everything nice." A finer, more dedicated mother could not be found I am sure. The divine qualities of love, sacrifice and a desire to help others without regard to self shall always stand out in our memory of this outstanding woman. And her stalwart faith in God, specifically The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormon Religion), was the key to the family’s unity. Her Bushnell lines also lead back to jolly old England, with Lieutenant William Bushnell being the first to immigrate to America with his family; he came to Connecticut about 1643.

Ron, being born at an early age, was so surprised by the whole affair that he couldn’t even talk for nine months and was an invalid for two more until at the ripe old age of eleven months he decided that he’d better start walking and see what made this old world go around. During his first few months he was one of the classiest dressers in the romper set – sort of a Diaper Dan – but after a few bitter experiences people started calling him the young squirt.

These were times of many changes – and I’m not just referring to diapers – as the family moved to 3901 Grant Avenue, Ogden, Utah in May of 1938. Three months later the Hales kin made their first big exodus to the "land of milk and honey" in California, but found instead vast groves of oranges, people and freeways. The automobile had become king in this new land and life was pretty tough for horseflies.

Dad built the family a beautiful frame home at 4631 East 53^rd Street, Maywood, California and it looked like the group was all set to grow up on dates and orange juice when World War II changed the family’s diet to bananas and pineapple juice with a move to Hawaii. They lived at 306-6^th Street, Navy Housing, Pearl Harbor, while Dad worked in the Navy building program there.

It was in Hawaii that Ron received one of the first presents that his young mind would remember forever I am sure. It was a little red chair. But it was completely impractical – it had a big hole in the bottom.

Life was certainly full and exciting during the sojourn in the islands – but it was also tragic at times, such as witnessing the infamous bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese on December 7, 1941. Though Ron was unhurt by the Japanese attack, he was put on the injured list a year later on November 10, 1942 with the first major medical catastrophe of his young career when he fell off a lumber pile and suffered a double compound fracture of his left arm.

Change was evidently written in the stars, however, as on December 22, 1942 the family once again packed up their belongings and stacked them in the hold of the S.S. Flagship Henderson and headed for the States. Ron didn’t turn out to be a very good sailor on the trip as he and the ocean just couldn’t seem to get in step with each other and all he got for Christmas that year was the old familiar bucket beside his bed.

Arriving in San Francisco on January 2, 1943, the family decided that smog couldn’t be much worse than fog and so journeyed on to Los Angeles again where Dad built the family castle at 4628 E. 52^nd Place in the suburb of Maywood. But we must had had gypsy or two among our ancestors as we still couldn’t settle down for good and moved to the Navy Ordinance Test Station, China Lake, California in November of that year.

For nearly three years Ron lived under the sun and sand of this great California desert. These were the years for catching things as he caught chipmunks, mumps, measles and his first trout, making the area a pretty productive era of his life.

Miracles will never cease, for in 1946 the Hales family finally settled down for good and built their "home sweet home" at 4748 E. 56^th Street, Maywood California. Realizing that life is often a battle of the wits – and that some folks are unarmed – Ron now concentrated his efforts to building up a large arsenal of knowledge and academic experience.

He attended Heliotrope Avenue Grammar School and honorably left its gates in 1949 to direct his academic attack on Carmelita Jr. High School in Huntington Park, California. This assault proved victorious and he moved on in June of 1951 with the American Legion’s Outstanding Student Award Plaque under his arm.

Bell High School was the next challenge and he entered it in September of 1951 with his ink-pen drawn for battle. That pen, along with dedicated effort which was learned from the example of his hard-working father, proved to be an invincible weapon and he rose to become the Student Body Commissioner of Social Activities, President of Quill and Scroll, National Honorary Journalism Society, California Boys State Delegate, Editor of the school newspaper, President of the Key Club, Life honorary member of the National Scholastic Society, recipient of the Ephebian Award, Student Body President, and holder of the B’nai B’rith Outstanding Student Award as the Class of ‘55 walked away from the commencement exercises in June.

The next academic foe was Brigham Young University, situated on a picturesque knoll of Provo, Utah, with the majestic Wasatch Mountains protecting its rear and the placid Utah Lake covering its foreground. With a BYU Leadership Award covering tuition and fees, our determined scholar began his assault on Civil Engineering. An academic truce was called in December of 1957, however, as Ron accepted a call from his church authorities in Salt Lake City to fulfill a 2 ½ year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons) to Argentina.

This outstanding experience made a profound impression in the life of this young Utahn and he now realized that public relations was his major interest, specifically as applied to Latin America. Thus upon his return to the pursuit of knowledge at BYU in October of 1960, he majored in a specialized course of Hispanic American Studies, receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1962, with a Portuguese minor. Still remaining on the unconquered list in a doctorate in Latin American Economics, but that little item called "finances" had called another truce in his academic quest.

Pop Hales believed that "to earn our bread by the sweat of our face" was the golden rule of success and earnestly raised his sons working with him in the field of construction. Thus throughout their school years, Saturdays, nights after school and summers were spent learning the tricks of the construction trade. During the college years Ron’s income was supplemented by working part time as manager of a small drive-in restaurant and by serving as Senior Resident in John Hall of BYU men’s housing.

But life was certainly not all work and no play for Ron Hales. As he reached that age when he was too young to leave at home alone and too old to trust with a baby-sitter, too young to get a job and too old to be a juvenile delinquent, he soon had a case of puppy love – and at times was positive that this was the beginning of a dog’s life! Each rose of romance had its thorns, it seems, but the sweetness of its fragrance and the joy of its intrinsic beauty has always stood out above all else and such experience have certainly made life much, much more rich and meaningful. Though still enjoying the freedom of bachelorhood, Ron certainly plans to settle down and enjoy the serenity of a good family, but perhaps is guided at the present time by the saying "if one marries in haste, there is sometimes no leisure for repentance."

Sports and hobbies have also played an important role in his life. In the sports field, basketball has always topped the list of favorites and it was in this sport that he participated in school and won his letters. He finds all sports interesting, both as a participant and spectator, but football and water-skiing came next to basketball.

Raising tropical fish is perhaps the most interesting of his hobbies, though woodcraft and landscaping run a close second. Definitely the most creative on the hobby list is journalism, which was started in his early high school years as a sports writer. This was pursued to the extent of writing sports articles for the Huntington Park Signal and the Los Angeles Examiner, and having a personal column in the Maywood Journal.

Though certainly not a hobby, six months in the military service proved to be an interesting experience in his book of life. Upon completion of college, Ron joined the 142^nd Military Intelligence Linguist Company of the Utah National Guard and promptly went to spend those two "joyful" months known as basic training the sand dunes of Fort Ord, California. His first actual contact with the military left the impression that all sergeants were illiterate, immoral imbeciles who spoke only one language consisting solely of certain four-letter words, but this impression was later somewhat revised as Ron became a squad leader and realized that some individuals in this man’s army just don’t seem to understand anything but such a degenerate vocabulary.

After basic, however, he saw the elite group of the U.S. military when he traveled to the U.S. Army Intelligence Center at Fort Holabird, Maryland to receive training as an Intelligence Analyst. Being honorable separated from active duty on November 27, 1962, Private Hales returned to join the reserve ranks of the "fighting" 142^nd.

Religion proved to bring the most lasting joy into the life of Elder Hales, though he could certainly never be called a "saint"; in fact, he was probably more often called a little devil in his early years at least! But religion meant a great deal to him and he became a Deacon at the age of twelve, a Priest at 15, and was ordained an Elder at 21.

The most worthwhile era of his life was the years spent as a voluntary missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Republic of Argentina. There he had the great opportunity of mingling with all classes of Argentines from the rich land barons to the poverty-stricken peasants living on dirt floors, and hearing them explain their most inner problems. Needless to say, it proved to be the most educational, spiritual and life-awakening experience of his life. He arrived in Buenos Aires on February 25, 1958 and spent his first two months in a poor suburb called Merlo. Four more months were spent in the bustling city of La Plata, followed by nearly six months in the poorest area he had ever seen – a small, agricultural town in the center of Argentina called Coronel Suarez. Buenos Aires was his home from March 5 to September 18 of 1959, then he was made District President of the booming tourist city, Mar del Plata. On January 11, 1960 he was called to serve in the Presidency of the Argentine Mission headquarters in Buenos Aires and served there until his mission was completed on August 27, 1960.

With the good company of his parents who had flown down from California after his mission was finished, he toured South America for the next two months visiting Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia and Sao Paulo, Brazil; Asuncion, Paraguay; Montevideo, Uruguay; Argentina again for the benefit of his parents; Santiago and Ariba, Chile; Las Paz, Bolivia; Puno, Juliaca, Lima and Callao, Peru; Guayaquil, Ecuador; Buenaventura, Columbia; Panama and Colon, Panama, and they then flew their travel-weary bodies back to the greatest land of all – America del Norte!

But that great experience made a profound change in the philosophy of Ronald B. Hales as he learned to appreciate people for what they are and not necessarily for what they have, as he learned to appreciate the meaning of democracy and free enterprise, as he learned that people are basically the same with similar wants, fears and joys the world over, regardless of color, creed or language, and certainly deserve the right to freedom, education and the pursuit of happiness. It is his present desire to specialize in Hispanic American Economics and eventually organize a vast Latin American business which will enable him to leave a worthy inheritance for his children-to-come, permit him to help raise the standard of living of his new-found friends to the South, and to aid his Church in spreading the enlightenment of truth and education to all Latin Americans who desire to help themselves.

MYRTA BELLE HALES

When Myrta was born on January 16, 1891, Utah was not yet a state. Statehood was granted five years later in 1896. Ogden was incorporated in 1851 and is known as the "oldest continually settled community in Utah." A city of 65,000 in 1980, in 1891 it was a small town.

Marlene Hales Meshinski, writes in her book Ancestors and Descendants of George Leroy and Georgenia Kirstine Frandsen Hales that: "Myrta never married. She was a very popular woman and had lots of chances to marry, but it is thought that perhaps she chose to take care of her mother who lived with her. She was very cultured and proper. She was a good sport and had to be because she often was the brunt of a joke at family parties."

"She was quite active in her church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), serving as a genealogy teacher and she also served on several Genealogy Missions. It could be said of her that she was a Women’s Rights advocate before it became popular. She was a business woman and was often honored for her accomplishments."

Again from Marlene Hales Meshinski’s book. A sketch of Myrta was published in a book published by the Ogden City Chamber of Commerce as follows:

Marlene writes, "Myrta held many positions in the community, one being the Chairman of the American Bureau for Medical Aid to China, Inc. in Ogden in 1941."

Myrta was laid to rest in the Ogden City Cemetery, Ogden, Utah.

THE CENTRE FOR KENTISH STUDIES

The first microfilm of unpublished manuscripts reportedly containing information on The Hales Family of Kent from The Centre for Kentish Studies at Maidstone, Sir Edward Hales rent book,1 was received and was described in The Hales Newsletter, Volume 7, Number 1 dated the Spring of 2002. This manuscript really only covered the parishes of Chart next Sutton Valence, Sutton Valence and Boughton Monchelsea.

This Sir Edward Hales held properties in many of the Kent Parishes and it was hoped that more genealogical references could be gleaned by ordering the rest of the unpublished Hales manuscripts. Perhaps his descendants lived in his other properties scattered throughout Kent.

At a very significant cost the other unpublished manuscripts were ordered. This order was based on the Centre for Kentish Studies description in their catalog system. These documents have been microfilmed and the microfilm mailed to my home.

The result of this order proved to be a very bad experience due to overcharges and very questionable work.

The estimate for making a microfilm of these unpublished MSS pages was 126 pounds sterling. Accordingly I mailed a check to The Kent County Council for this amount plus an additional 4 pounds as an estimate of postage.

After completion of filming, the Centre reported that there were 420 frames at 30p per frame which amounted to 126 pounds sterling. They reported that the order was very complex and time-consuming and wanted an additional 120 pounds for the labor. I sent a check for the additional amount claimed. So the Hales Family History Society was now involved with this order with a total payment to the Kent County Council of 250 pounds sterling. (In United States dollars this amounts to $397 including the fee to obtain the pounds sterling checks).

The result was a microfilm having a significant number of pages having no references at all to the Hales family. For example:

U1255 T5 is a total of 2 pages that have no relationship to Hales whatever.

U1255 T8,10,13 is a total of 3 pages that have no relationship to Hales whatever.

U 1255 T15,16 is a total of 4 pages of non-Hales documentation.

U 1255 T17 is a 1 page document having no relationship to Hales whatever.

U 442.E16.1 refers to Nathaniel Hulse (not Hales)

1. It contains 47 pages of Hulse, Chambers, Diggs, Rigdon, Kent Castle, Osbourne, Wase and Austin documents not related to the Hales family.
2. However, this MSS also has a 54 page Hales document and many Indentures related to the Hales family.

The question with U442E16.1 is the bundling of non-Hales materials with Hales materials.

U32.1.E4 is 53 pages of Non-Hales documentation.

U32.1.E5 is 19 pages of Non-Hales documentation.

This totals to 129 frames of non-Hales documentation of the total of 420 frames that were microfilmed. And with the rate of double pricing of 60p per frame that was demanded by the Kent County Council it amounts to our being billed for 77.4 pounds sterling more than we should have been charged.

The remaining MSS contained very little of genealogical value not previously known. However, we have now exhausted the ordering of unpublished Hales Manuscripts at the Centre for Kentish Studies at Maidstone. This should alert other people doing Hales research to not duplicate this effort.

I have extracted the Hales names and genealogical information found in these unpublished Hales manuscripts as follows:

IN MEMORIAM

Jane Hales. (From the Freeman’s Journal and National Press, Dublin, Ireland. September 12, 1917). Shooting Tragedy. A very sad accident occurred near Ballyhooly on Saturday, whereby a young girl lost her life. It appears that Miss Jane Hales, aged about 19 years, was in the act of taking down a fowling rifle from a shelf when the rifle, which was unfortunately loaded, went off, the charge striking the young lady in the head, killing her instantaneously.

Mary Mildred Hales Frandsen. Mary Mildred Hales Frandsen, our cherished mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend returned to her Heavenly Home for a glorious reunion on November 24, 2001, one month before her 99^th birthday.

She was the daughter of goodly parents, George and Eliza Brockbank Hales.

She was born on Christmas Day, December 25, 1902 in Mammoth, Utah. On November 30, 1928 she married her best friend, Victor Glenn Frandsen for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake City Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Their love affair on earth lasted for sixty-four years; temporarily ending with Vic’s death on January 18, 1993. Mary will be fondly remembered for her love of God, her generosity and service to others and the delight she found in simple pleasures. She found life beautifully rewarding for she searched out the good in each person and every situation. She made her husband and her family the central focus in her life, yet she devoted her time on earth to teaching all those she came in contact with about the love of God and the beauties of nature. Mary taught school in Parker, Idaho and Herriman, Midvale, and Springville, Utah. She loved to teach, especially children. Vic and Mary spent 18 years as full-time temple workers in the Manti and Provo Temples. For many years they achieved their goal of 100 temples sessions a year.

Mary is survived by three children: her two sons and their wives, Glenn Ray and Glenna of Provo, Utah; M. Lee and Ilene of Jacksonville Florida Mission; and her daughter, Ann Youngberg of Magna, Utah. Fourteen special grandchildren and 48 adorable great-grandchildren. She is also survived by a devoted brother, Angus Hales and his wife Fawn of Springville, Utah and a loyal sister-in-law, Marion Hales of Spanish Fork, Utah. Plus many loving nieces and nephews and numerous wonderful friends.

She was preceded in death by two grandchildren, Clark and Vicki Frandsen, and a great-grandson, Austin Youngberg. Also five brothers: Ray, Hial, Howard, Lock, and Nate; and four sisters, Tryphena Hales, Leah Harrison, Helen Hawkins and Agnes Wright.

Services were held Wednesday, November 28, 2001 at the Springville Stake Center on Kolob Circle, Springville, Utah with the burial following in the Springville City Cemetery.

HUNTINGTON CITY CEMETERY

On August 20, 1997 permission was given to revert Section J. Lot 60, in the city cemetery back to the city of Huntington, Emery County, Utah. Permission was given by Billy B. Frew, great-grandson of Sarah Ann Gregory Hales.

Typically there are ten grave-sites in a cemetery lot. The effect of this transaction was to give the city permission to sell and use the remaining grave-site. Also, care of the graves in this lot was assumed by the city of Huntington by this transaction.

The Sarah Ann Gregory Hales buried here, is the mother of G. W. "George William" Hales who married Caroline Peterson. They are the parents of the three sons and two daughters in this burial section and lot. (NOTE: The C. W. Hales buried here is really G. W. Hales – no doubt the G. looked more like a C. to the transcriber).

In the Utah State Historical Society Burials Database, it describes George William Hales as being born 31 December 1852 and died 27 January 1932 at Huntington. This same database reports that Caroline Peterson Hales as being born 1 August 1855 and died 17 March 1921 at Huntington.

This family has been reconstructed as follows and is found in The Hales Chronicles.

Born 31 DEC 1852 at Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah the son of George HALES and Sarah Ann GREGORY. Married 5 SEP 1882 Caroline PETERSON at Saint George, Washington, Utah. She was born 1 AUG 1855 of Saint George, Washington, Utah. George William HALES died 27 JAN 1932 at Huntington, Emery, Utah and was buried at the Huntington, Emery, Utah City Cemetery. Caroline PETERSON died 17 MAR 1921 at Huntington, Emery, Utah and was buried at the Huntington, Emery, Utah City Cemetery.
