_____(8) Edward Everett Hale_____

Of the subsequent records of the Hale family
no trace remains that is not honorable. Nathan's
brother Enoch was settled at Westhampton,
Massachusetts, in 1777, where he remained a
useful and beloved pastor for sixty years. Enoch's
eldest son, Nathan, graduated at Williams College
in 1804. He was editor-in-chief of the _Boston_
_Daily_Advertiser_ for more than forty years.
Nathan's son, Nathan, a Havard graduate, became
associate editor of the _Boston_Advertiser._

Lucretia Peabody Hale, a well-known writer in
her day, whose delightful and amusing "Peterkin
Papers" are still read and remembered, was a
granddaughter of the Rev. Enoch Hale.

Edward Everett Hale, a man beloved by every
one who knew him, was the son of "a great journalist,"
Nathan, grandson of Enoch, and therefore
grandnephew of Captain Nathan Hale. He, too,
had a son Nathan who died in his early manhood.
Edward Everett Hale was one of the most commanding
and admired of men, with rare endowments
as clergyman, author, editor, and patriot.
