Cass County.

ELI M. DALE, one of the thrifty farmers of Cass County, was born
at Bedford, Lawrence County, Ind., Jan. 1, 1844, and is a son of
Eli and Elizabeth (Waugh) Dale.  The former native of Cumberland
County, Pa., born Feb. 3, 1816, and the latter 1821, in North
Carolina.  Mrs. Dale died, leaving four sons and two daugthers,
namely:  Samuel, a lawyer for five years in Beardstown, now in
Colorado; Eli M., our subject, Emily M., William M., Mary A.,
George A.  Eli Dale's grandfather on his mother's side,
McCracken, was an Irishman; he came to America in time to serve
eight years in the Revolutionary war and fought on the American
side.  His grandfather on his father's side (Dale) was a German.
Eli M., our subject, received his schooling in his native
country; came to Cass County in 1865, and engaged in the
manufacture of brick, and in building, in company with his
father, Eli, and his brother, under the firm name of Eli Dale &
Sons.  The firm continued in this business successfully until
1876, and since that time he has been farming in Virginia
Precinct.  Our subject entered the army for the suppression of
the Rebellion in 1862, from Indiana, in the Sixty-seventh
Volunteer Infantry, in which regiment he served about nine
months, as a private, and was discharged on account of
disability.  Upon sufficiently recovering, he again entered the
army in the One Hundred and Thirty-Sixth Illinois Volunteer
Infantry, in which he served one hundred days, the full time for
which he enlisted, and received his discharge, and a third time
enlisted; this time in the One Hundred and Fortieth Indiana
Infantry, and served until the war closed.  This record speaks fr
itself, and shows that the patriotic zeal of our subject must
have been inherited, or he would, on general principles, have got
enough of war on the first trial, after having lost his health. 
During his term of service he was advanced to the rank of
Lieutenant of his company, and participated in several severe
engagements.  He was discharged in 1865, and came to Illinois, as
before mentioned.  Dec. 20, 1869, he married Miss Lida E.
Tureman, daughter of George and Elizabeth (Glover) Turemean, who
was born Dec. 21, 1851.  Mr. Tureman is a native of North
Carolina, and Mrs. Tureman of Morgan County.  They have two
children:  Stella M. and Cora T.
