Biography

Mary was born in 1878. She is the daughter of Allen Page and Sarah Hendricks.

Due to a misunderstanding of who the Mary is on the 1950 census with Mary Bell (Page) Hale's son, some have come to believe that Mary Bell (Page) Hale died after the 1950 census. The Mary on this census is NOT the one here.

I now believe that Mary Bell (Page) Hale died sometime between the 1910 census when she is with her husband, Joseph Blue Hale, and her three sons and 1915 when her husband remarried.

Mary and Joseph Hale had 3 sons together:

• Odie Hale (1902 DeKalb, TN
• John Monroe Hale (1907 DeKalb, TN
• Skyler Lee Hale (1908 DeKalb, TN
