Nathan Hale was instrumental in creating a surname index of Maine burials transcribed by volunteers of the Maine Old Cemetery Association. His work, now known as the Nathan Hale Collection, is an important source of genealogical information for families with deep Maine roots.
Nathan was born to Edward Everett Hale, Jr. and Rose Perkins in Schenectady, New York and died at the age of 97 on Friday, November 8, 1996 at Coves Edge in Damariscotta, Maine.
He graduated from Union College in Schenectady and attended Harvard University for two years and served his country in both World War I and II.
He met Lillian Boynton while studying at the Anson K. Cross Art School in Boothbay Harbor. The couple married in New York City on 22 Mar 1930.
Nathan taught in both Massachusetts and New York City, and authored two children's books while living in Europe in the late 1930s. When the family returned to the U.S., he assumed the role of Assistant Headmaster at the Rocky Hill School in East Greenwich, RI.
Mr. Hale and his wife purchased Rocky Hill School in 1940 at which timer there were 35 students enrolled. When he retired in 1962, the school's enrollment was over 200 students, and he had moved the school from private to not-for-profit.
In retirement, Nathan lived in his home on the Damariscotta River. For many years he was the volunteer director of the Old Maine Cemetery Association's surname project.
An obituary with additional detail was published on 11 November 1996 in the Portland Press Herald.
