LAUREL YOUTH SHOT CRITICALLY IN CLAY COUNTY
Edsel Hale, 29 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. Victor Hale of Blackwater, remains in a critical
condition at the Marymount Hospital with a gun shot wound in the abdomen and arm.
Robert G. Carnahan, 49 years old, Manchester business man, is charged with wounding Hale
at 3:45 o'clock Friday morning at a road house, 2 miles east of Manchester.
According to witnesses, Hale was shot as he stepped into the door of the establishment.
Carnahan surrendered voluntarily to Clay county jailer, J. Matt Sizemore about an hour after
the shooting.
The Clay countyman waived examining trial in Clay County Court Monday and was held to
the May grand jury of the Clay County Circuit Court.
Clay County Judge Charles H. White released Carnahan under a $5,000 bond and a
$5,000 appearance bond.
Hale's wife, Mrs. Lena Sasser Hale said at the hospital Tuesday afternoon that Hale,
an employee of General Electric in Louisville, was enroute from Louisville to Big Richlands
in Knox County where she and their 2 year old daughter, Sharon, were residing with her parents.
She added that her husband had rented an apartment in Louisville and that he was going to take
her and the daughter back to that city.
Carnahan's son, James Carnahan, 24, was killed two weeks ago when struck by an automobile.
His family said that he had been beside himself since that time.

John married Nancy Kirby on 26 Mar 1812 in Johnston Co, NC. Nancy was born on 25 Jan 1792 in Johnson Co, KY; died in 1837 in Johnson Co, KY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Dixie,

I have a copy of Henry and Nancy's wedding bond from the NC State Archives. The bond was obtained on 26 Feb 1812. Information that Robert Helton put in the Sasser file in the NC State archives gives their wedding date as 10 Mar 1812. For the children, it lists Arthur as 22 Mar 1818, Jesse as 30 Jan 1828, Nancy as 26 Jul 1830, and Barbara d. in infancy.

Glenn Perry has shared information in a previous post that was taken from Henry's Bible. It has the same dates I have given above, except Nancy was listed as born 24 Jul 1830, and Barbara was not listed. Robert Helton listed Patience as born in 1834, and Barbara after her.

Hope this helps,

Doug Sherman
