This is the on-line version. The original was scanned and the text corrected for spellings, something that was very difficult in the original mimeograph process. There is also some minor editing. The Hales Manuscript pages being developed during the publication of the Old Series of The Hales Newsletter have been deleted because the content is now found in The Hales Chronicles, now in its second edition with the third edition planned for 2005.

The Hales Chronicles can be found on the Hales web-page at www.hales.org and at The Family History Library of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Salt Lake City, Utah; The Library of Congress at Washington, D.C.; The Library of The Society of Genealogists at London, England; and the Centre for Kentish Studies at Maidstone, Kent, England.

The Hales Newsletter is provided to the above cited repositories and the Allen County Public Library at Fort Wayne, Indiana. The Allen County Public Library indexes our publication and provides articles through their Periodical Source Index (PERSI).

If you would like a printed version, reprints of the Old Series of The Hales Newsletters are available at a cost of $3.00 each.

This Newsletter begins the third year of the HALES Genealogical Society and our third

year of research into the origins of our family name.

We probably have more information on our Hales name in an organized form than can be found anywhere else. However, I feel that there are still many members of our family that might have some information that could be of great value to all of us. Please help by searching through all of your bibles, family records, certificates, etc., and send me anything that you have so that I can put more of the pieces of the puzzle together.

Thanks to all of you that have already contributed information or helped support our researcher in England during the past two years. We have learned much – one look at the index to the Parish Registers of Kent County, England which appears later in this issue will show you how much of an effort we have made to extract all Hales information from where our name started and spread throughout all of England. The trail leads from Norfolk, England to Kent, England and from there back to Norfolk, Warwick, Essex, Lincolnshire, Hertsfordshire, Oxfordshire and we have re-traveled part of it.

The search goes on and at times I know it might be discouraging, but we are making progress – even when we don't find information in a Parish register we learn something – and I am pleased with that progress.

Thanks to all of you that have contributed to our Family Organization and your suggestions for making it better. Since there are so many letters that I receive, please be patient if you want a personal reply to any of your letters. If you do not indicate a personal reply I will answer your letters with information in the Newsletter. Thanks again and lets make year three even better.

900 years ago you would have had to have 134,217,728 ancestors. Since many of these people were interrelated, the number did not exceed the total number of the white race living at that time (approximately 35,000,000 people). However, one of these had to be William the Conqueror.

In fact if 10 percent of the people moved once in their lifetime during William’s time, then it is mathematically impossible NOT to be related to everyone who was fertile at that time. Take your pick: the black knight, the white knight, lady Godiva, etc., they are all your ancestors.

This section of our Hales Newsletter contains the "happenings" that I am made aware of between issues. One of the many advantages of a Society such as this is that information can be published for all the Hales family to see. Remember just one address and send your announcements of area reunions, marriages, births, deaths, etc., and they will be included in the Newsletter to all the Haleses. Contributions of articles for the newsletter are welcomed. Dig thru your records and send me anything of value about your branch of the family. What you may have might be the bit of information another member of the family is looking for. I will edit what I receive and add it to our growing file of information.

STAN, DIANE HALES SEEK WORLD TITLES. Pasadena's co-national badminton champions, Dr. Stanton Hales and his wife, Diane Hales, are in England to compete in the All-England Badminton Championships to be held March 22-25th at Wembley Pool, London.

The All-England Tournament is generally regarded as the unofficial world championships with national champions and top-ranked players from all parts of the world entered to compete for badminton's greatest prestige titles.

The two Hales are also entered in the Britannic Invitation Badminton Championships which will be held in London this weekend preceding the All-England.

Stan and Diane Hales hold the unique distinction of being the first husband and wife in the history of United States badminton to respectively hold the men's Singles and Ladies' Singles Championships at the same time – their titles having been won at last year's U.S. national championships at Las Vegas.

Immediately following the All-England Championships the Hales will fly to Offutt Air Force Base, Omaha, Nebraska to defend their titles in the U.S. Championships being held at the Base March 30 – April 5 under the auspices of the American Badminton Association and co-sponsored by the Top Flight Badminton Club of Offutt Air Force Base.

HALES COAT-OF-ARMS ORDERS. Because of the many problems and unsatisfactory service that I received from the photo-lab that was ma king coat-of-arms pictures for me, I have completely redone the art work and made our coat-of-arms using an offset printing machine. The colors were separated into the three basic colors. The picture is printed on 8 ½ by 11 inch embossed white offset paper. I printed 500 of them along with a brief description. For those of you who have already received one of the photograph renditions, I will send you one of the offset versions to replace the inferior quality photograph for the cost of the postage and envelope – approximately 25 cents. For those who have not ordered a set, the cost of the ones I now have will be $1.00 a set plus 25 cents for mailing. I will have some of them with me when I attend the reunions in Utah and California for those who want to get them at that time. I will also have with me a mounted set to give you an idea of how to display them.

ROBERT PETER HALES MARRIES. Robert Peter Hales of 20 Forest Manor Road, Apartment 1209, Willowdale 426, Ontario, Canada, the son of William George Edgar Hales and Winnifred Alice Hales, announced his marriage on March 3rd 1972 to Miss Deborah Ann Sinclair. Congratulations from all the Hales family. Thanks also for all the time you spent in compiling all of the Hales addresses from all of the Ontario, Canada telephone directories. I appreciate your help.

LARRY BRADFORD HALES AND LE ANN HANKS. Larry Bradford Hales, the son of Duane and Lillian Hales of 57 N. 6th East, Spanish Fork, Utah 84660 was married on November 5, 1971 to Le Ann Hanks. Congratulations from all of us. Please let me know your now address so that I can include your name in our Hales Directory.

"Y" HONORS PROF. WAYNE HALES RETIRES. From the Herald, Provo, Utah dated November 17, 1971, page 8.

Dr. Wayne B. Hales was honored at a reception honoring Dr. Hales on his retirement after 41 years as a physics and mathematics professor at BYU. Hundreds of well-wishers attended the reception last week in the Skyroom of the Wilkinson Center.

Dr. John Hale Gardner, Physics department chairman. The picture will be displayed in

the foyer of the Eyring Physical Science Center on a wall near the Wayne B. Hales

Lecture Hall, which named in honor of the veteran teacher when the building was dedicated in 1954.

Dr. Hales graduated from BYU in 1916 and received his M.A. degree from University of Utah in 1923 and his Ph. D. from California Institute of Technology in 1926. Before joining the BYU faculty in 1930 he was President of Snow College three years, and taught at Ricks College and Weber College.

At BYU he has served also as dean of the general college and chairman of the Physics

Department. During World War II he did research for the U.S. Army in Panama on jungle acoustics and was a researcher also for Army Ordinance, 1952-55.

He is president of the BYU Sixth Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and formerly served on the YMMIA General Board for 13 years, 1937-1959. In 1958 the Boy Scouts of America awarded him the Silver Beaver for 40 years of service, which included several years as vice-president of the Utah National Parks Council.

Prominent also in civic and professional affairs, Dr. Hales has held positions as president of the Utah Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters, 1931-32; president of the Utah Conference on Higher Education, 1959-60; and member of the Provo Civil Defense Council, 1950-55.

The Utah Academy has presented him its distinguished service award.

Hales Inc. From the Post-Register, Idaho Falls, Idaho, February 1, 1972. Hales Inc., an optical, photographic supply and casual clothing shop, has moved to 440 Park Avenue from its former location at 368 A Street.

Hales said the now location will afford increased customer traffic and the opportunity to expand its merchandising lines.

The store has a complete line of film and photographic supplies, all optical goods and assorted casual clothing.

The original Hales family owned store was opened in October, 1971. The family also has a store in Provo, Utah.

The HALES Utah Reunion will be held this year on July 8th, 1972 at Liberty Park in Salt Lake City. It will be at the main Bowery by the lake and will run from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. Make this a must this year. Mark it on your calendar. The children will have a good time at the park while we renew acquaintances. Plan to bring a picnic lunch and bring your records. Make sure that I have a copy of your family information for our Hales book. I will have some of our things for display. Lets get our family organized.

CALIFORNIA AREA REUNION

The California Reunion will be held this year at Lake Park in the City of Huntington Beach on Saturday, August 12. Lake Park is situated in the heart of Huntington Beach and is only five minutes away from Huntington Beach State Park should members of the younger generation desire to go swimming. It is also only a few more minutes to such entertainment areas as Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, etc. Make this a must on your summer schedule – plan now to be there to meet with our Hales family, see our display, and share information. I will have the same display that I will take to the Utah reunion.

The Texas area Hales reunion will be held Saturday and Sunday, August 12 and 13, 1972 at the roadside park on Highway 287 about 6 miles north of Woodville, Texas. Those who have trailers, tents, campers, etc., plan to camp out at the park Saturday night. On Sunday, prizes will be given for the oldest, the youngest, and the one who came the farthest. Bring the family and a picnic lunch to the park – mark your calendars and try to make both days. I will not be able to attend this Reunion this year but would appreciate it if someone would take some black and white pictures so I can include them in our August Newsletter. (All you need send is the negatives as I can make pictures from them – make sure they are only black and white pictures as I do not have facilities to make color prints.

.Near the end of this issue of this Hales Newsletter I have drafted some Articles of Organization and some By-laws. At our reunions this year I would appreciate your thoughts concerning these two items. I would like to have all of you nominate and elect trustees and other officials so that we can tighten up our Family Organization into a more efficient unit. Please come to the reunion prepared to vote upon these issues. I would like to suggest that each branch of the Hales family elect some form of representative or spokesman to be identified in this organization. So that there will not be too much confusion I have also included in this Newsletter some thoughts about how we should be organized. Please make your notes on this sheet and bring it to the reunions so that we can formulate our ideas into a tangible organization. If you do not attend a reunion and would like to send me your thoughts, please do so on this sheet.

Vol. 1. No.5. Contained some biographies of three brothers. The following is an update to one of these stories and also the story of the missing brother.

At the age on 22 Charles Henry Hales met in Quincy, Illinois, Julia Ann Lockwood, age 15, and married her on October, 30, 1839. She was the daughter of Joseph Lockwood and Ann Gillett. Their subsequent residence and family growth are listed as follows:

RESIDENCE, YEARS, FAMILY GROWTH

Quincy, Illinois, 1839-1842, Eizabeth Ann

Nauvoo, Illinois, 1842-1845, Juliana Ardena, George Gillett

Garden Grove, Iowa, 1846-1852, Mary Isabella, Charles Henry, Joseph Lockwood

Salt Lake City, Utah, 1852-1853, John Taylor

Big Cottonwood, Utah, 1854-1858, Stephen Frederick, William Parley

Spanish Fork, Utah, 1858-1889, Maria Josephine, Jonathan Hyrum, Harriet Elizabeth

He later met and married Frances Brunyer, age 19, on April 18, 1857. She made her home in Spanish Fork, Utah and to them were born 13 children. All 25 of his children grew to adulthood and each had large families of their own.

Charles Henry Hales was a mason and builder by trade and practiced this vocation wherever he resided. Many of the public buildings in the Spanish Fork area were constructed by him. These included such buildings as the city hall, Ideal School Building and the Spanish Fork Coop building, still standing. Many of the homes in this city were built by him. He had a small farm in this area which occupied his time when building contracts were low.

He was public spirited community builder and served in many responsible positions in city, school, and church life – a few of his positions of responsibility are listed below:

He was a member of the armed forces that kept the Indians under control during the early days of the pioneer settlements. He was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints throughout his life. His family grew up and became respected and honored citizens in the communities where they chose to build their homes. He died in Spanish Fork, Utah on July 1, 1889 at the age of 72 and was buried in the local cemetery.

Henry William Hales was the son of Stephen and Mary Ann Hales and was born on August 17, 1829 at Rainham, Kent, England. In the year 1832 his father and family emigrated to Canada. His father was a shoemaker by trade and he saw a better chance for raising his boys in Canada than in England.

In Canada his oldest brother Charles heard the gospel of Jesus Christ as taught by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. When he told his father and mother about it his mother said, "Charles, you are always getting into something," but they soon joined the church also. This was in the year 1837.

The following spring they started by team to join the Saints at Farr West. They stayed at Kirtland about three weeks to let the teams recruit, then continued their journey, arriving in the fall. They were subject to all the persecutions heaped on the Saints at that time. It was here Henry first saw the Prophet Joseph Smith when he was betrayed into the hands of the mob. They were expelled from the state of Missouri with the rest of the Saints and went to Quincy, Illinois and remained there till 1841.

They moved to Nauvoo where Henry heard the Prophet Joseph preach and prophesy and say, "Thus saith the Lord," and heard him say he had finished his work and had rolled the burden of the church onto the shoulders of the Twelve Apostles and they would have to round up their shoulders bear up the kingdom or they would be damned, for he had given them all the keys, power and authority he held to build up the kingdom and they had to do it. He had laid the foundation and they had to build it up. He saw the Prophet going to Carthage and heard him say he was going like a lamb to the slaughter, but he was as calm as a summer morning for he had a conscience void of offence toward God and all men and it would yet be said of him, he was murdered in cold blood. He saw the Prophet Joseph and his brother Hyrum laying in their coffins and he knew they were men of God.

He received his endowments in the Nauvoo Temple and was ordained a Seventy on June 27, 1845. He was with the first to cross the Mississippi River to leave Nauvoo and to come west. He joined the camp at Sugar Creek in Iowa and continued on to Garden Grove and helped build the houses and fields for those of the saints that were not able to go on that season. Then he went back to Nauvoo to help his father start west. At Fort Madison he and his father took sick and his father died. He was just getting around when the mob made war on the saints that were left. They went that fall to Garden Grove. During the winter he worked at Fort Madison. The next year he returned to Garden Grove to take care of the families stock and remained there until 1850. Meanwhile his mother married William Thompson. He married Eliza Ann Ewing on May 19th. In the spring of 1851 they started for Salt Lake City. His mother rode in his wagon because it was easier riding, but she died near Council Bluffs and was buried at the Ancient Bluffs ruins.

They arrived at Salt Lake City about September 21st. He built a house at Little Cottonwood. In the spring of 1853 they moved to Cedar Valley. During the Indian trouble he helped build two forts.

He witnessed the grasshopper war when flour could not be bought for money at any price. January 11, 1859 he married Sarah Jane McKinney. In 1859 he went to Big Cottonwood. In 1861 they moved to Weber Valley and made a farm at Enterprise, Morgan County. He was First Counselor to Bishop Charles Peterson and a road commissioner and laid out most of the county roads.

During high water the Weber River cut his farm in two and carried about ten acres of his best land away. He had six crops taken by the grasshoppers. Then the railroad took a strip cutting off the ditches that watered his land. So, in 1873 he sold out and moved back to Cedar Valley and rented a farm and stock ranch until 1876. Then they moved to Laketown, Millard County and homesteaded a quarter-section of land, farmed part of it, and raised stock and sheep until 1891 when he bought land in Deseret and built a home where he lived to the age of 79.

On May 22, 1887 he was ordained a High Priest at Fillmore and served as a counselor to Bishop Milton Moody and also to Frank Hinckley. He was the Presiding Elder at Lake Town. He was a Patriarch for many years.

The trustees may also make payments or distributions of all or any part of the income or principal to states, territories, or possessions of the United States, any political subdivision of any of the foregoing, or to the United States or the District of Columbia but only for charitable purposes within the meaning of that term as defined in paragraph D.

D. In these By-laws and any amendments to them, the term "charitable purposes" shall be limited to and shall include only religious, charitable, scientific, literary, or educational purposes within the meaning of those terms as used in section 5O1(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 but only such purposes as also constitute public charitable purposes under the law of trusts of the State of California.

Fifth: In extension and not in limitation of the common law and statutory powers of trustees and other powers granted in these By-laws, the trustees shall have the following discretionary powers:

(a) To invest and reinvest the principal and income of the Society in such property, real, personal, or mixed, and in such manner as they shall deem proper, and from time to time to change investments as they shall deem advisable; to invest in or retain any stocks, shares, bonds, notes, obligations, or personal or real property (including without limitation any interests in or obligations of any corporation, association, business trust, investment trust, common trust fund, or investment company) although some or all of the property so acquired or retained is of a kind or size which but for this express authority would not be considered proper and although all of the trust funds are invested in the securities of one company; provided, however, that the trustees shall not invest the property of the Society in such a manner as to violate section 5O4(a}(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 as now in force or afterwards amended. No principal or income. however, shall be loaned, directly or indirectly, to any trustee or to anyone else, corporate or otherwise, who has at any time made a contribution to the Society, nor to anyone except on the basis of an adequate interest charge and with adequate security.

(b) To sell, lease, or exchange any personal, mixed, or real property, at public auction or by private contract, for such consideration and on such terms as to credit or otherwise, and to make such contracts and enter into such undertakings relating to the Society property, as they consider advisable, whether or not such leases or contracts may extend beyond the duration of the existence of the Society.

(c) To borrow money for such periods, at such rates of interest, and upon such terms as the trustees consider advisable, and as security for such loans to mortgage or pledge any real or personal property with or without power of sale: to acquire or hold any real or personal property, subject to any mortgage or pledge; and to assume any mortgage or pledge on or of property acquired or held by the Society.

(d) To execute and deliver deeds, assignments, transfers, mortgages, pledges, leases, covenants, contracts, promissory notes, releases, and other instruments, sealed or unsealed, incident to any transaction in which they engage.

(e) To vote, to give proxies, to participate in the reorganization, merger or consolidation of any concern, or in the sale, lease, disposition, or distribution of its assets; to join with other security holders in acting through a committee, depositary, voting trustees, or otherwise, and in the connection to delegate authority to such committee, depositary, or trustees and to deposit securities with them or transfer securities to them; to pay assessments levied on securities or to exercise subscription rights in respect of securities.

(f) To employ a bank or trust company as custodian of any funds or securities and to delegate to it such powers as they deem appropriate; to hold Society property without indication of fiduciary capacity but only in the name of a registered nominee, provided the trust property is at all times identified as such on the books of the Society; to keep any or all of the Society property or funds in any place or places in the United States of America; to make provision to pay reasonable compensation and expenses of all services employed in furtherance of the purposes of the Society.

Sixth: The trustees' powers are exercisable solely in a fiduciary capacity consistent with and in furtherance of the charitable purposes of these By-laws as specified in Article Fourth and not otherwise.

Seventh: In these By-laws and any amendments to them, references to "trustees" mean the one or more trustees, whether original or successor, for the time being in office.

Eighth: Any person may rely on a copy, certified by a notary public, of the executed original of these By-laws held by the trustees, and of any of the notations on it and writings attached to it, as fully as he might rely on the original documents themselves. Any such person may rely fully on any statements of fact certified by anyone who appears from such original documents or from such certified copy to be a trustee under the Articles of Organization. No one dealing with the trustees need inquire concerning the validity of anything the trustees purport to do. No one dealing with the trustees need see to the application of anything paid or transferred to or upon the order of the trustees or the Society.

Ninth: These By-laws are to be governed in all respects by the laws of the state of California.

At our Hales Family Reunions this year I feel the following items should be discussed. Please give them some thought so that we can move through them effectively and efficiently.

1. We should discuss the Articles of Organization and By-laws somewhat and make whatever suggestions to them as we deem appropriate. These Articles and By-laws should then be voted upon.

2. We should elect some officers and trustees for our Society. The officers to be elected should be for the following positions:

President

Vice President

Family Representatives for each branch of the family.

At least 5 (five) trustees.

3. So that we might be together at the same time, I propose that the business meeting portion of our reunion be held at 2 p.m. on each reunion day. If you wish to take part in such a meeting please be there at that time.

4. We might consider electing a "Reunion Committee" so that the reunions each year might be better organized.

5. We might consider an entertainment committee for the reunions. This will give the members of our family an opportunity to perform for us and thereby help us to grow together.

6. I would appreciate your views on the HALES Newsletter such as to content, format, ideas for improvement, etc.
