Fletcher Hale (January 22, 1883 – October 22, 1931) was an American politician and a United States representative from New Hampshire.
Early life
Born in Portland, Maine, on January 22, 1883,[1] Hale was the son of Frederick Fletcher Hale and Adelaide L. (MacLellan) Hale.[2] His family moved to Boston, where Hale was educated in the public schools and graduated from The English High School in 1901.[1][2] He then attended Dartmouth College, from which he graduated in 1905.[1] He studied law at Harvard Law School and with attorney Albert S. Batchellor[1][3] and was admitted to the bar in 1908.[1] He began to practice in Littleton, then moved to Laconia in 1912 and continued to practice.[1]
Career
Hale served as city solicitor of Laconia in 1915 and as solicitor for Belknap County from 1915 to 1920.[1] Hale was member of the Laconia board of education from 1916 to 1925 and was chairman 1918–1925.[1] He was a delegate to the New Hampshire constitutional convention in 1918 and a member and secretary of the New Hampshire Tax Commission from 1920 to 1925.[1]
He was elected as a Republican to the Sixty-ninth congress and reelected to the three succeeding Congresses.[4] He served as congressman from the state of New Hampshire from March 4, 1925, until his death.[4]
Death
Hale was taken ill while returning to the United States from London aboard the SS President Harding after attending an Inter-Parliamentary Union conference in Bucharest.[5] He was removed from the ship when it arrived on October 22, 1931, and taken to the Brooklyn Naval Hospital.[5] He was diagnosed with pneumonia and died a few hours later of a cerebral embolism.[5] He was interred at Union Cemetery, Laconia, New Hampshire.[6]
Family
He married Alice N. Armstrong on March 29, 1913.[7] They were the parents of two sons, Fletcher (1915–1998), a captain in the U.S. Navy,[2][8] and Robert Armstrong (1918–1945), a captain and B-26 Marauder pilot in the United States Army Air Forces during World War II who died after his plane was shot down near Frankfurt.[2][9]
