Exeter, Goderich, Stratford
IIwraith of the University of
Toronto, a member of the In-
stitute and of the province's
Historic Sites Board, acted as
program chairman. Among
those taking part in the cere-
mony were: His Worship Wil-
liam J. Miller, Mayor of Clin-
ton; Dr. William M. Fenton, Di-
rector of the New York State
Museum ; George Vanevery,
Chief Councillor of the Six Na-
tions, and Edward Killeen, of
the United States Consulate in
Toronto. The plaque w a s
unveiled by Miss Margaret Hale,
granddaughter of Horatio Hale,
and dedicated by the Rev. Peter
L. Dymond, Rector of St. Paul's
Anglican Church.
Horatio Emmons Hale was
born in 1817 in Newport, New
Hampshire. His father died five
years later and his mother be-
came editor of a Boston periodi-
cal, The Ladies' Magazine, a
post which she occupied for al-
most fifty years. It is interest-
ing to note that, among her
many accomplishments, she was
the author of the familiar chil-
dren's rhyme, Mary Had a Lit-
tle Lamb, and that her urging
was largely responsible for the
establishment of .Thanksgiving
as a national holiday.
Hale entered Harvard Uni-
versity at the age of sixteen,
there showing such a penchant
for linguistics that, on graduat-
ing in 1837, he was appointed
philologist and ethnographer to
Captain Charles Wilkes' Pacific
expedition. That expedition, de-
signed as exploratory in the
fullest sense, and including re-
presentatives of all the natural
sciences, left Hampton, Va., in
1838 and returned to New York
in 1842, having circumnavigat-
ed the globe.
One volume of the expedi-
tion's 19 -volume report was
compiled by Hale, and appear-
ed in 1846. Devoted to an in-
tensive ethnological study of
the peoples of .the Pacific, it is
still regarded as fundamental
to the study of Polynesian eth-
nology.
Hale then spent some .years
in travel and in the study of
law, and in 1855 was admitted
to the bar in Chicago., His wife,
formerly Margaret Pugh, was
born in Goderich Township, and
her family still owned consid-
erable land there. In this con-
nection, Hale,* visited Clinton in
1856. He was so attracted by
the place that he took up•perm-
anent residence there the same
year.
Though a lawyer by profes-
sion, Hale remained an ethnolo-
gist by inclination, and spent
much time at that pursuit, par-
ticularly on the Six Nations Re-
serve near Brantford. His re-
search led to the notable dis-
covery that the Tutelo Indians,
once numerous in Virginia and
North Carolina, but later ab-
sorbed by the Six Nations, were
linguistically related to the
Siouan peoples of the plains.
In 1883 Hale pablished his
classic "Iroquois Book of Rites",
a masterly study of the Iroquois
Confederacy. The year previous,
as a member of a committee
of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, he
had helped organize its An-
thropological section, and two
years later performed a like
duty for the corresponding Bri-
tish association.
At the latter meeting, Hale
was made director of a com-
mittee "to investigate the phys-
ical character, languages, and
industrial and social conditions
of the Northwestern tribes of
. . Canada", and for many
years bore a large share of its
work.
An address on the subject of
the origin of language, deliv-
ered by Hale at the 1886 meet-
ing of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science,
received worldwide approval. A
paper entitled, `Language as a
Test of Mental Capacity, con-
tributed to the Transactions of
the Royal Society of Canada (of
which Hale had been elected a
Fellow in 1889) received simi-
lar attention. In 1893 he was
elected President of the Ameri-
can Folklore Society. He was
also honored by election to the
American Philosophical Society.
Hale did much for Clinton
during his forty years' residence
there. It was largely through
his efforts that the high school
and Mechanics' Institute and
library were established, and he
was for many years chairman
of the school board and presi-
dent of the Institute. He fur-
thered the progress of both by
correspondence and petitions to
the legislature, and had much
to do with legislation permit-
ting girls to enter high school
on equal terms with boys. He
was also chairman of the com-
mittee which secured the means
for the construction in 1875-76
of the Toronto, Huron and Bruce
Railway..
On Hale's death, late in 1896,
the eminent" American anthro-
pologist, Franz Boaz, wrote: "By
WASTEFUL WASHER
One of the earliest home
washing machines was patented
in 1858 by Hamilton E. Smith
of Pittsburg, Pa. It was oper-
ated by turning a crank at the
side that rotated paddles inside
the tub. Unfortunately, the
clothes washed by this machine
often became knotted and torn,
so it met with little success.
his death, ethnology has lost a
man who contributed more to
our knowledge of the human
races than perhaps any other
single student. His wise coun-
sel, his aimiable guidance, his
kindly friendship, ensure a
grateful memory to him whose
work students of ethnology and
of linguistics will admire for
all time to come."
