Evaline (Hale) Brewer, daughter of Jim and Polly Hale, was born in Cumberland Mountain, Tennessee, on October 11, 1856, and passed away at her home in Annapolis on October 23, 1945.
She was united in marriage to Isaac Brewer at the age of 16 years, and after six months he was taken sick and passed away.
After two years she was united in marriage to John Brewer. To this union four children were born, two whom passed away in infancy. One son, James Edwin Brewer, and one daughter, Ora Brewer Lewis, passed away several years ago. There are two grandsons, Darwin and Orville Lewis, of St. Louis; one granddaughter, Mrs. Madelyn Sullivan, of St. Louis; nine great grandchildren, besides many other relatives and friends who mourn her passing.
"Aunt Eva," as she was better known, professed a hope in Christ at the early age of 14 years. She united with the General Baptist Church of which she always was a true and faithful member. Her greatest pleasure was when she could talk with someone on the Bible and of God's mercy and His great love.
Now that we realize she is indeed gone, we feel assured that our loss is her eternal gain.
We cannot mourn for her her as we feel that she is free from the cares, pains and troubles of this world.

!OBITUARY

Mary Hale was born in Marion Co., Tennessee, 1823. After an illness of ten days died at the residence of her son-in-law, John Brewer, Cranepond, Saturday, March 24, 1888, aged 65 years. Deceased was the oldest daughter of George Lewis who died in 1858. Having lost her husband Jas. Hale, about the year 1862 she removed with her children, 3 in number, to Iron county, Mo., 1873, where she lived until the evening of the 24th when it pleased kind Providence to call her from earth away. Many sorrowing relativesand friends followed her to the family burying ground, near Sabula, where she was quietly laid to final rest beside her sleeping father.

The mother of 11 children, 6 of whom survive her, she was always an active Christian worker, leading a quiet and useful life. Although we deeply feel the loss, yet we will not grieve, knowing that our loss is her great gain. We will, therefore, bow in submission to the will of Him who does nothing wrong. The bereaved children and friends have the sympathy of the whole community in this sad, sad hour. (IRON COUNTY REGISTER newspaper... Ironton, Iron County, Missouri ...April 5, 1888) (Xerox copy of obituary sent to Linda Lewis in November 1991 by Virgina Sutton Mitchell. The obituary was light and a little difficult to read. The date Mary came to Missouri may have been 1878 instead of 1873.)

Notes:

Isham Burrell Hale

It is suspected that Isham Burrell Hale is the youngest son of John Hale (b. 1753) of Bledsoe County, TN, although no proof has been found. Isham is found with his wife and children in Bledsoe county in 1830, page 2
2. John Hale died in 1838, according to his cemetery marker. Isham and his family are then found in Marion Co, TN in the 1840 census, page 5
7. In 1850, page 385B and 1860, page 20B, the family is found in Van Buren County, TN, but disappears after that time. In both years, Manerva (unknown) Hale is living next door or close to the Isham Hale family, with children. Virginia appears in 1860, having been born 1852. However, an Isham Hale administers the estate of John Hale before the court, as late as April, 1843, in Bledsoe county.

; ; The Lewis families of Madison, Iron, and Reynolds Counties are a prolific clan, which I could not cover in a whole book, let alone a few pages, but I do have some points I would like to make. ; In 1850 Madison County census, there were 5 families, three of which lived next door to each other that I feel must have been related as mentioned previously. ; The other two I'm not certain of were Furney Lewis, born N.C., age 31, who had married Nancy Perringer in 1838, Madison County and had four children, John, 10, Amanda 7, Leonard 6, and Martha 1 in the 1850 census. ; The other was John Lewis, 41 from S.C., wife Caroline 20, Laura 2, and John L. 5 mo. ; I make this point because each had a son John that will later be important. ; The two families that were: ; #496-Jacob Lewis-45-born N.C., Sarah 17 TN, Bidda 15, TN, Martha E. 13, Eli, 11, John Y., 9, & Catherine 7, all born TN, Hugh P. 5, Polly Ann 4, James Millow, 2, and Emiline 3 mo. ; There was also Eliza J. 10, born TN, who belonged to Jacob but w
In 1860 Iron County census I found: ; the John Lewis from SC, who married Caroline, Robert Lewis, the son of Georg who had been in Arkansas, next door to him was John and Emiline Lewis, and next to them was Benjamin Lewis, son of George also. ; ; Close bywas John Lewis, Jr. (son of George) and wife Nancy, and closer to Annapolis was William Lewis (son of George also) and finally Elizabeth Lewis, widow of George. ; I did not find David Lewis (who had been in 1850 Madison County census) nor his family again, but early land plats show David Lewis and Oliver Lewis (his son) owning land right near John, George and all the other Lewises.
Other Lewis researchers in Missouri have mistakingly assumed that John (who married Emiline Dunn) was the son of George, even though they found the two John's listed on the same census. ; I am referring here to the one listed as John Jr. who was 26 in the1860 census, wife Nancy, 25, Delia, 8, George, 6, James, 4, and Benjamin, 8 mo. Who was the real son of George, and was in Marion County TN in 1850. ; Although there was a definite relationship between George and John (who married Emiline), they were notfather and son, but brothers. ; I will concentrate now on George's son Robert, who has family connections with mine, but will first list all of George's children and who they married.
1. Mary, married James Hale and stayed in TN.
2. Catherine, married Robinson Griffith and stayed in Arkansas.
3. Robert, married Mary 'Polly' Griffith, and was in Arkansas before coming to Missouri.
4. Benjamin, married Oma Hewitt (He was in MO in 1850).

From the notebook - "An Irish Legacy", by William Dunn

ALLIED LEWIS FAMILIES

The Lewis families of Madison, Iron, and Reynolds Counties are a prolific clan, which I could not cover
in a whole book, let alone a few pages, but I do have some points I would like to make.
In 1850 Madison County census, there were 5 families, three of which lived next door to each other that I feel
must have been related as mentioned previously. The other two I'm not certain of were Furney Lewis, born N.C.,
age 31, who had married Nancy Perringer in 1838, Madison County and had four children, John, 10, Amanda 7, Leonard 6,
and Martha 1 in the 1850 census. The other was John Lewis, 41 from S.C., wife Caroline 20, Laura 2, and John L. 5 mo.
I make this point because each had a son John that will later be important. The two families that were: #496-Jacob
Lewis-45-born N.C., Sarah 17 TN, Bidda 15, TN, Martha E. 13, Eli, 11, John Y., 9, & Catherine 7, all born TN, Hugh P. 5,
Polly Ann 4, James Millow, 2, and Emiline 3 mo. There was also Eliza J. 10, born TN, who belonged to Jacob but was in
John and Emiline's house; they had only been married in 1842, so couldn't have had a 10 year old child.
John & Emiline were #497, his age 30, born TN, she was 25, SC, with three sons: Eli, 6, MO, Levi 4, TN, and Libe 2, MO
(This should have been Robert, Leroy, and Eli.) #498-David Lewis, 35, NC, Nancy 35, KY, Oliver 10, TN, George 8, Alabama,
, Becky Ann, 6, MO, Mary 4, and J.B. & P.R. 5 mo. Old twins, all MO. George Lewis, who I think was also a brother,
was in Marion Co. TN (which was where John was from also) in 1850. His family: George Lewis , 48, Elizabeth, 47, John,
21, William, 16, Martha, 13, George, 11, Elizabeth, 9, Andrew, 6, and James, 4. There was also a son, Robert,
married and in Arkansas, two doughters, Mary and Catherine, both married, and 24 year old Ben, who was stayong with
Elihu Dunn and his wife Maria, in Madison Co., MO.
Toward the latter part of the 1850's, George and Elizabeth came to Missouri,
and settled at the mouth of Carver Creek, and one more child was born in Missouri.
George bought land from John and Emiline, and he died before 1860.

In 1860 Iron County census I found: the John Lewis from SC, who married Caroline, Robert Lewis, the son of Georg
who hac been in Arkansas, next door to him was John and Emiline Lewis, and next to them was Benjamin Lewis, son of
George also. Close by was John Lewis, Jr. (son of George) and wife Nancy, and closer to Annapolis was William Lewis
(son of George also) and finally Elizabeth Lewis, widow of George. I did not find David Lewis (who had been in 1850
Madison County census) nor his family again, but early land plats show David Lewis and Oliver Lewis (his son) owning
land right near John, George and all the other Lewises.

Other Lewis researchers in Missouri have mistakingly assumed that John (who married Emiline Dunn) was the son of George,
even though they found the two John's listed on the same census. I am referring here to the one listed as John Jr. who
was 26 in the 1660 census, wife Nancy, 25, Delia, 8, George, 6, James, 4, and Benjamin, 8 mo. Who was the real son of
George, and was in Marion County TN in 1850. Although there was a definite relationship between George and John
(who married Emiline), they were not father and son, but brothers. I will concentrate now on George's son Robert,
who has family connections with mine, but will first list all of George's children and who they married.

1. Mary, married James Hale and stayed in TN.
2. Catherine, married Robinson Griffith and stayed in Arkansas.
3. Robert, married Mary 'Polly' Griffith, and was in Arkansas before coming to Missouri.
4. Benjamin, married Oma Hewitt (He was in MO in 1850).
5. John (listed as Jr.), married Nancy ___?____.
6. William, married Abigail Johnson.
7. Martha 'Patty', married James Casteel.
8. Elizabeth married Thomas Jackson.
9. Andrew, married Angeline Rose.
10. James married Lucinda Wallis.
11. Hepsi, married William Ruble.
