- Commemorative biographical record of central Pennsylvania, J.H. Beers & Co., (Name: Beers & Co, 1898;).
Austin W. Dale was born April 22, 1847, at the Dale homestead near Oak Hall, where he is now residing occupied in farming. He was married, in 1868, to Catherine Keller, a daughter of David Keller, of Boalsburg, and the children born to the marriage were: Luther K. , April 20, 1870; Clement G., October 8, 1871; Christian. K. (deceased), December 14, 1874; Margaret E., April 3, 1878, died January 20, 1879; and Ellen E., January 10, 1880. The mother of these died March 29, 1883, in her thirty- fourth year, and September 25, 1884, Mr. Dale was married to Rachel E. Meyer, who was born August 8, 1847, a daughter of Henry and Catherine (Hoffer) Meyer, of near Boalsburg. Henry Meyer was a son of Henry Meyer, Sr.
Alfred A. Dale, a well-known attorney at Bellefonte, where he has been engaged in the practice of law for nearly a quarter of a century, was born and reared on his father's farm, where his early years and young manhood was passed not unlike that of the general farmer's son. His early schooling was received in the common schools of the neighborhood, and in a private school held on the Dr. Hammil homestead. He was prepared for college at the Boalsburg Academy, and was graduated from Pennsylvania College, Gettysburg, in 1874. Immediately after- ward he began the study of the law, under the late D. S. Keller, of Bellefonte, and was admitted to the Bar of Centre county at the August term of court, in 1876. "Al Dale," as he is familiarly called, has taken quite an active part in politics, and in 1892 was one of the Republican nominees for the General Assembly; but with the rest of that ticket he was defeated at the election in the Democratic land-slide of that year. The home paper in commenting on Mr. Dale's nomination said: "In A. A. Dale the voters of Centre county have a man whose ancestors were among the very earliest settlers of Centre county. Mr. Dale was born here, raised on the farm, and always took a deep interest and active part in all that pertained to the best interests of the county. He is, without doubt, one of the best qualified men for the Legislature that has been nominated in the county for years."
