BIOGRAPHY: Dale worked in an ammunition factory during World War 2. After the war he worked for the State Highway in Rensselaer, Hermanson Nash, and Northway Products as Maintenance Superintendent for several years and lived at 211 Oak Street, in Rensselaer. For a short time they lived at 405 Napoleon in Valparaiso. Dale and Kate moved to Elkhart and lived there approximately 10 years as he quit Northway and took a foreman's job. Dale and Catherine both drove Cadillacs. One day, as Dale was following her in his car, she reached a traffic light as it was turning yellow, and stopped. He, behind her, gunned his engine to get through the light, and rammed her into the intersection.
Catherine quit school and joined the circus [Ringling Brothers or Barnum & Bailey], doing a high wire act and roller skating in the "Skater" Reynolds group. She and several of her ex-skaters put on an act in the mid-1950's for a 100 year centennial in Reynolds, Indiana.
Catherine became sick with bone cancer and they eventually moved their mobile home to the property in Fair Oaks which was originally Eli Hooper's land, Dale's grandfather. Catherine passed away on April 12, 1968 in the Jasper County Hospital. She is buried in the Fair Oaks Cemetery.
Dale lived on the Fair Oaks property until he passed away on January 12, 1995 due to an aneurysm bursting. Dale Jr served as spokesman for the funeral services and Ms Louise Warren, daughter of Jesse's sister (maybe half-sister), Maggie played the organ. [Douglas Dale Sr Garriott]
