I am the grandson of Clarence Lamont Hale and his second wife Opal Jolly; and Ottie E and Ruby P 'Ellis' Moutell. I grew up in southern Illinois. I started looking into my families history after finding a 3-ring binder my father had made for me. I am related to the Ellis, Douglas, Hale, Moutell, Etherton, Basden and Lindsey families; and their extended families.

I was introduced to Find A grave by the staff of Pleasant Grove Memorial Park in Murphysboro, Illinois.
