John’s son, William, emigrated to the United States when he was 21 years old in about 1825.

The following obituary, entitled "Pioneer Gone," was printed on the front page of the Lorain County Reporter, published in Elyria, Ohio, on Saturday, May 14, 1892.

"The following sketch of the life of William Hales, who died May 5, 1892, aged 88 years, may be of interest to those who knew him during his residence of more than sixty years in this county. He was born January 11, 1804, in North Bradley, County of Wiltshire, England.

"At the age of 13 years, he was apprenticed to a weaver, and after serving his time, continued to work for his employer until he could save enough money to bring him to America. He emigrated, landing in New York in 1825.

"After a short residence in Philadelphia, he went to Northern New York and settled. Finding that section too cold and the snow too deep, he started for a western location. This start was made with a horse and farmer-made sled. Traveling to Eastern Ohio, he was obliged to leave the sled and proceed on horseback.

"Arriving in Cleveland (then a small port of a few straggling log houses, with no bridge across the Cayahoga River and no means of crossing it other than a rude flatboat). Land on Euclid Avenue was offered him at $4.00 per acre. At that time it was considered too light soil for farming purposes and this was the only value land had there in the eyes of settlers.

"He arrived in what is now Lorain County, Ohio in 1831 and settled in Henrietta. This township was then an unbroken forest of heavy timber, the Indians being the principal inhabitants, although a few white settlers had come in. He built himself a small log cabin and worked at clearing his land and farming. Through his industry and ability, his holdings of land increased until he became the owner, at one time, of about six hundred acres of land.

"On June 10, 1835 he was married to Laura Blackman, daughter of Ansel and Sarah Blackman. He was the father of eleven children, six girls and five boys, all of whom grew to manhood and womanhood. ... His wife died in 1862, and for his second wife he married Mary A. Bemis, widow of the Reverend Varanes Bemis.

"He was a resident of Lorain County for more than sixty years, spending forty years of this time on various farms in Henrietta Township. In 1878 he removed to North Amherst, where he resided until the time of his death. In early manhood he became a Christian, uniting with the Baptist Church at Henrietta, being one of the pioneer members of that church, and during his whole life presenting a bright example of a true Christian life, having that faith in God and implicit trust in Jesus which no vicissitudes of life ever managed to disturb. He never permitted any other duties to interfere with family worship in his home or any Christian obligations, and during his last illness he calmly awaited the end, knowing it to be but the entrance to the mansion of the blessed."

William married Laura Blackman in Henrietta, Lorain, Ohio on June 10, 1835 when he was 31 years old and she was only 17. Laura was born February 2, 1818 in Ohio to Ansel Blackman and Sarah Higgins Blackman. When she died at the age of 44 on June 16, 1862, Laura and William had been married 27 years.

William and Laura Hales had eleven children. All grew to adulthood except Leah and Sarah who died before their father.

Six months after the death of his wife, William Hales married Mary Bemis on December 4, 1862. She was the widow of the Reverend Varanes Bemis and was the mother of four sons. This must have been a practical and sensible act for William with his young children. According to the 1870 census records, Mary was 10 years younger than William, and was born in Massachusetts. Her sons were not listed in the household so they must have been adults and living elsewhere. We don’t know Mary’s maiden name. Also listed in the 1870 census records for the household was Aetna Shepherd, a female born in Massachusetts, who may have been a relative of Mary’s. William and Mary Hales had been married thirty years when William died in 1892.

The Family grouping constructed from this story and included in the Hales Chronicles for William Hales is as follows:

William HALES

F- Sarah HALES; born 8 OCT 1857 in Henrietta Township, Lorain, Ohio; unmarried; died between 1879 and 1892.

F- Etta (or Ettie) HALES; born 25 AUG 1859 in Henrietta Township, Lorain, Ohio; married (1) William E. POTTER, (2) John CAMPBELL; died 9 FEB 1932.

William HALES married (2) 4 DEC 1862 Mary BEMIS the widow of Reverend Varanes BEMIS. She was born about 1814 in Massachusetts. William HALES died 5 MAY 1892 of North Amherst, Ohio and was buried in the old cemetery on Sanders Hill, Henrietta Township, Ohio.

A brief biographical sketch of William Hales was written in the History of Lorain County, Ohio, published in 1879.

"William Hales moved into the township at about this time [1831], and located on the farm now owned by Adam Hensner, [actually Heusner] on lot eighty-eight. He subsequently changed his location to the hill, purchasing the farm now owned by his son Ansel. He resided here until 1872, when he removed to North Amherst, where he now lives in his seventy-sixth year. He is the father of eleven children, all of whom are living, four in this township, three in Amherst, and one in Brownhelm."

William died May 5, 1892 of "old age" when he was "89 years old," according to the Lorain County Death Records, 1890-1908, which also show that he was born in England, had been a farmer, resided in North Amherst, and was married. The death was reported by Richard Kelch.

Carl Hales said that his grandfather, William Hales, "raised vegetables, fruits and tomatoes for a cannery located on his farm, or to take into Cleveland."

William and Laura Hales are buried in the old cemetery on Sanders Hill, Henrietta, Ohio, which is located behind a hedge on the north side of Highway 113 between Baumhart and Gifford Roads. There is a large rectangular family plot with five small white headstones in a row. A large pink granite monument in the southwest corner of the plot has "Hales" chiseled on one side and "Bemis" is on the other side. The inscription reads: "William Hales 1804-1892; Laura Blackman, wife of William Hales, died Jun 16, 1862, aged 44 years." The opposite side of the monument lists: "Leah Hales, wife of George A. Bemis, who died January 31, 1884, aged 28 years."

The five headstones from left to right read: "Leah, John Chandler, Mother, Sarah, Charley." Leah Hales Bemis and Sarah are children of Laura and William. Charley may have been the infant Charles, son of George Elon Hales and Dasalina Rosa Hales who was born and died in 1880. We do not know who John Chandler was, but he is listed as a member of the household in the 1850 census records. He was born in England, had no occupation and was 75 years old at that time. Since Mary Bemis Hales survived her second husband, she is probably buried elsewhere with her first husband and father of her four sons.

The earliest date on a gravestone in the Sanders Hill Cemetery is 1817 and the last is about 1912. The soil conditions were such that no more burials could be made. In March, 1853, Moses and Laura Fuller received $26.50 from the trustees of the East Cemetery Association for 0.55 acres of land in lot #90. The trustees were William Hales, Monroe Kniffen, Henry Dunham, Nathan Bristol and Philemon Shepard.

Charles Rosa of Mentor, Ohio, obtained a one page listing of information on the Hales family from the archivist of Oberlin College, Ohio. It stated that William Hales "owned a farm at Henrietta, Ohio, the colonial house being originally a stagecoach inn. When he retired at 65, he bought a small place on the outskirts of North Amherst." His wife was a "daughter of Ansel Blackman, a pioneer who bought a large tract of land from the Connecticut Land company; his farm was bought in 1866 by John Heusner."

BIOGRAPHY:
from www.hales.org
The North Bradley land map of 1841 shows that John and Joseph Hales occupied a house and garden on Church Lane, identified as parcel #977. The 1880 map did not show any dwelling on the property. The 1851 census indicates that John was still living on Church Lane and was 75 years old. He was widowed, the head of the household, born in Westbury, Wiltshire, and his occupation was cordwainer (shoemaker). He was living with his son, Joseph Hales, and Joseph's eight year old daughter, Leah Hales. We could not find a record of John Hales' death, although it must have been before 1861 as he was not listed in that census.

In 1845 Major LaRue built a one and one-half story frame residence, near the site of the old log house, and at the same time built another sixteen by sixteen feet, adjoining. (This stood until 1882 when it was moved back to South Street, which, at that time, ran west of High. Later it was moved again to the west side of Section Line Road, south of South Street, and divided into three houses. The middle house is no longer standing. The other two~are-occupied by Ed Monk and Lawrence Gantt.

BIOGRAPHY: One of the older community frame buildings now standing in LaRue is the Bowdre Grocery Store.
