She visited Euclid in 1916 and 1917, but her family settled here in 1919. Mrs. Hale and her family were very active in the social activities of Euclid. As a child, she attended the #10 school which was a white, frame school at the corner of E. 250 and Lakeshore Blvd. Eventually she attended Oberlin College and was graduated in 1933. Her father was on City Council during Prohibition when he had to deal with rum runners.
Their family attended the Union Church on Babbitt Road where a variety of faiths attended services. Her father played the violin and her mother the piano. After a while, in 1923, they began to help organize a Methodist church which began in the cafeteria of Shore school. In the early 1930s the church moved to a white frame building. Mrs. Hale and her husband were busy with many civic activities including the Jay Cees. She always maintained that Euclid is the greatest place to live. (20 minutes)
