- Willis Hale, Tyringham farmer, former fire chief
TYRINGHAM--Willis H. Hale, 74, of Sunset Farm died Saturday evening at Berkshire Medical Center following a long illness. He was a former Tyringham fire chief.
Born May 29, 1905, on the family farm, he was the son of Clarence W. and Jessie Hathaway Hale and the great-great-great-grandson of William and Hannah Hale, who settled in Tyringham in 1739, the year the town was founded. The family moved to the present farm in 1861. With a brother, Arnold B. Hale, he was the fourth generation of the family to live and work on the farm.
In 1939, Mr. Hale was instrumental in creating the Tyringham Fire Department and was an active participant in raising funds needed to build the present fire station.
Mr. Hale, Tyringham fire chief for 29 years, was a charter member of the Berkshire County Fire Chiefs Association. He was a former Tyringham School Committee member, a town assessor, a 50-year member and past Master of the Lee Grange, a member of the Evening Star Lodge of Lee, the Ayrshire Breeders Association, the American Jersey Cattle Club, Massachusetts Farm Bureau and the Union Church in Tyringham.
He was an avid horseman and showman.
