H 



HALE, Mrs. SARAH JOSEPHA (BUEL), was 

 born in Newport, New Hampshire, in 1705, and 

 died in Philadelphia on April 30, 1879. This 

 amiable lady was married in 1814 to David Hale, 

 and left a widow with five children in 1822. 

 She resorted to the pen as a means of support, 

 publishing in 1828 u The Genius of Oblivion, 

 and other Original Poems." In 1827 she pub- 

 lished " North wood, a Tale of New England," 

 and during the same year was invited to take 

 charge of a ladies' magazine which was about 

 to be established in Boston. After some hesi- 

 tation she decided to accept, and in 1828 she 

 removed to that city. In 1837, the "Ladies' 

 Magazine" having been united with "Godey's 

 Lady's Book," published in Philadelphia by 

 Mr. Louis A. Godey, Mrs. Hale became edi- 

 tress of the consolidated periodical, remaining 

 in Boston, however, until 1841, when she re- 

 moved to Philadelphia. In this position she 

 advocated woman's advancement, urging that 

 teachers of girls should always be of the female 

 sex. She suggested the observance of a na- 

 tional thanksgiving in 1846. The idea of edu- 

 cating women for medical and missionary ser- 

 vice in heathen lands was another thought of 

 Mrs. Hale, and she devoted much labor to the 

 securing of its practical adoption. In 1850 the 

 first medical college for women ever founded 

 was established in Philadelphia, and thus the 

 opportunity was presented. The Ladies' Med- 

 ical Missionary Society was formed, and under 

 its auspices two ladies prepared for the work 

 of treating the diseased bodies and undeveloped 

 minds of women in heathen nations. In 1860 

 the Woman's Union Missionary Society for 

 Heathen Lands was formed. Mrs. Doremus 

 was the first President of this Society, Mrs. 

 Hale succeeding her and holding the office nine 

 years. In 1877 she retired from editorial la- 

 bor. Among her published volumes are : 

 "Sketches of American Character," "Traits 

 of American Life," several tales, a manual for 

 housekeepers, and " Woman's Record from the 

 Creation to A. D. 1854." She wrote pleasing 

 poetry, and was respected and esteemed by all 

 who knew her.
