Book excerpt: Excerpt from Representative Men of Maine: A Collection of Portraits With Biographical Sketches of Residents of the State, Who Have Achieved Success to Which Is Added the Portraits and Sketches of All the Governors Since the Formation of the State Senator Hale's mother was Betsey Staples, who came from an Old Turner family. The children of James Sullivan and Betsey Hale were Eugene, Hortense, who married Dr. John T. Cushing and now lives on the homestead, Frederick, who was a lawyer and partner of Senator Hale and who died in 1868, Augusta, the wife of George Gifford, United States Consul at Basle, Switzerland, and Clarence, who is a leading lawyer in Portland. Eugene Hale was born in Turner, June 9, 1836; attended the village district school and the grammar school endowed by the town, and went from Hebron Academy into the office of Howard 8: Strout in Portland, where he studied law and was admitted to the Bar in January, 1857. At the age of twenty he commenced the practice of law in Orland, but soon removed to Ellsworth and became a member of the firm of Robinson 81 Hale. Mr. Robinson soon died, and Mr Hale for ten years devoted himself closely to his profession and built up a large practice. He was a sound counselor and one of the most successful lawyers with both court and jury. He was for nine successive years County Attorney for Hancock County. For many years he was senior member of the firm of Hale Emery, and, since the Iatter's elevation to the bench of the Supreme Court, the firm has consisted of Mr. Hale and Hannibal E. Hamlin, a son of the late and venerated Hannibal Hamlin. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
