     Harry Hale was born on 10 February 1780 in Rindge, Cheshire County, New Hampshire, . His training devolved wholly upon his widowed mother, a woman of remarkable energy, decision and intelligence. He was educated at the common schools in Rindge with the addition of a term or two at New Ipswich Academy, but succeeded in acquiring a thorough practical education, and was always remarkable for his command of pure and forcible English, both orally and in writing.

When about 20 years of age he joined his brother Nathan at Windsor, Vt., and either then or on arriving at his majority entered into co-partnership with him under the firm of N. & H. Hale, as country merchants, having a store at Windsor street, and after a few years another at the West Parish, now West Windsor.² He was the son of Nathan Hale and Abigail Grout.¹

He married Phebe Adams in 1802 in Rindge.³ In 1807, Harry Hale moved to Chelsea, Orange County, Vermont, and there continued for some years in partnership with his brother Nathan, who had preceded him to Chelsea, under the old firm; and after some years, that firm having dissolved, he took Joshua Dickinson as a partner, and for several years carried on a country store with him under the firm of Hale & Dickinson. They built the brick store on the west side of the north common, since known as the Dickinson store. Somewhere about 1825 he retired from trade, and thenceforth devoted himself solely to the management of his grist-mill, in which he had bought out his brother's interest, and to farming.

He was early chosen a captain of militia, and was best known by the title of Captain, as was his brother Nathan. He was frequently elected to town offices, selectman, lister, town agent, etc., etc. For many years he was a justice of the peace. In 1828, '32 and '36 he represented Chelsea in the Vermont Legislature. For several years he was county clerk of the county of Orange. He was for some years, about 1834 and 1835, "Bank Commissioner" of the State, elected by the Legislature, and was repeatedly moderator of the town meetings, and in all regards a leading citizen of his town.

He always took an active interest in politics; was an early Federalist, but on John Quincy Adams becoming a candidate for the Presidency, warmly supported him, against the violent opposition of many of the leaders of the old Federal party, who never forgave Mr. Adams what they called his "ratting" to the Democracy. On the breaking out of the Anti-masonic excitement about 1827 and '28, Mr. Hale, who had never been a mason, fully sympathised with the hostility to that institution, and was first elected to the Legislature as the candidate of that party. Subsequently he acted for some years with the Whig party, but on the organization of the so-called "Liberty party," his firm and unyielding hostility to slavery led him to join that party, to which he was always after an adherent till his death. In 1843 he was nominated by that party as its candidate for State Treasurer, on the ticket with Lawrence Brainerd as Governor, and his nomination to that office was renewed yearly by that party for several years. It may be added that he never sought office, and that all the nominations and elections he ever received came to him without any agency of his own, but unsought.

In all the relations of public and private lite he always bore an honorable and unsullied character, and his whole life was marked by integrity and uprightness. Perhaps his most distinguished characteristic was his firm and nice adherence to justice, which through life made him a safe umpire --- not only between his neighbors, a duty he was often called to, but an almost equally safe one between himself and his neighbor.

He was always a most liberal supporter of the Congregational Church, with which he worshipped, but never became a member of the church till 1838.

He was never a rich man, but never failed to "pay a hundred cents on the dollar," and never but once while in business was compelled to ask so much as an "extension of time" from his creditors, an extension which was most freely and willingly granted, and within which his indebtedness was fully met. The generous education which he gave all his children was a continual drain on his resources, which he never regretted, although it left him in moderate circumstances financially in his old age.⁴

He married Lucinda Eddy on 14 November 1815 in Chelsea.³
