  Notes	(1) Darla Terry : Hale, Edna, Don E. Hale and Edna L. (DeBell) Hale, in Garfield County, Oklahoma - 1893-1982: 1982: DON E. and EDNA L. (DeBELL) HALE I came to Okla. Terr. with my parents, John S. and Nancy DeBell, and two brothers in Sept. of 1907. My parents were married Oct. 29, 1889; he was from near Savannah and she was born in Taylor Co., Ky. I was the oldest child, Edna Lee DeBell, born Nov. 19, 1890; John Harvey, June 13, 1892; Joseph P. in 1894. The reason we came to O.T. was that my Uncle Million (sp?) Skaggs had made the Cherokee Strip "run" in 1893. He settled on a claim southeast of Nash. He had lived in Kans. before the run and accumulated some money. He would buy calves from the settlers from time to time, ship a carload to Kansas City and come to visit. Uncle Million (sp?) met us at Pond Creek, O.T. A few days later he drove us around to look at different farms for sale. As prohibition was voted in that year, an old Civil War veteran, Captain Mock, wanted to sell, so he could move to Kans. where he could get his liquor. He owned a farm 2 miles south of Coldwater, (later named Hillsdale). We liked the farm very much and my parents bought it. Father had received $58 an acre for our farm in Mo. and he paid $20 an acre for this 160 acre farm. That left him money to buy machinery, 4 horses and a wagon, a spring wagon and a topless one-seated buggy. There wasn't much entertainment in the winter time, a few dances now and then. The youngsters of the neighborhood, Berry family, Hale and my brothers and I would drive over to the school house 8 miles east to "literary". Our neighbors east of us, Frank Hale and daughter Flossie, came to visit us and when I returned her call, I met Don Hale. Going to "literary" together, we fell in love and July 27, 1909, were married. Our first children were twins, born Dec. 27, 1910. Irene and John Franklin. John just lived 6 hours. My mother and mother Hale lined a box my brother and Don made and took the baby and buried him in my parents' garden 4 miles north of Carrier. In 1929 we had another set of twins. Evelyn Irene Hale married and she and her husband have three children. Our next child was Harry Richard who just lived 11 months. Elfa Mae was born Dec. 10, 1913. She and her husband adopted a son, Robert. Virgie, our next daughter, has one girl. Joseph Cecil, born July 17, 1918; our eldest son has three children. He is an oil worker, Joe served in Germany in World War II. Don Marchant, April 14, 1920, had no children. He died at age 26. He was in the Philippines. During the war he contracted parasites. His death broke our hearts. His wife brought him home to bury. We were thankful for that. Billy Lee was born April 18, 1922. Bill was in England during World War II. The twins Dick Lawrence and Bobby Wayne were born in 1929. Dick works in oil production. Dick has three girls and a boy. Bobby Wayne is a steel worker. Bob has two girls. Lois, born Nov. 3, 1925, has two boys and a girl. I have 19 grandchildren, 30 great-grandchildren, 3 great-great-grandchildren. In the depression Don's brother-in-law who lived at Bison, Okla., bought a 1000 egg incubator. However, he was unable to run it and his wife couldn't run it alone, as every time he went into the basement room where it was, he would get an asthma attack. He wanted my husband to come and run it for him. That sure helped us out as Don could have half what he made. Don made $300 a month. That year the great dust storms were especially bad. We would go to bed at night and next morning the house would be covered with dust. Lots of places it drifted as high as the fence post. Don ran the hatchery for 3 years, 1933, 1934, and 1935. One year we had the smallpox. Don was working on sewer line and people began getting smallpox so we went to Enid to get vaccinated. Don had already been exposed, however, didn't know it until he began breaking out. He asked the Doctor if he should quit work. Dr. said no use as he was outdoors. Evelyn was in high school so they made her stay out of school. I had been vaccinated 32 years before and never took. All the children had them except Billy. Virgie just had the fever and red eyes, did not break out. After we fumigated, Billy broke out; talk about plague, you couldn't touch him without hitting a big blister. His mouth bled and the other children wanted him to stay in his room until he was over them. In the depression people were losing their farms and Guthrie bank owned the farm we lived on. They wanted us to buy it and said they would let the year's installment apply on the principal. We had a large family and no money. However, we bought it and still owed $3500 when we sold it in 1933, and bought a home in Covington on E. Monroe St. (2) Enid Morning News, November 26, 1980, p.
