Biography

James was born in 1853.

James Henry Dale was murdered in 1913 over a wage dispute. He was a blacksmith by trade and was working on the railroad for Shelbyville Rail. He got into an altercation with the two brothers over not being paid, got into a fight with one of them and then was struck and killed by the brother with a piece of timber. George Houck was on trial for James murder. At this time, we don't have evidence of the verdict but believe Mr. Houck was acquitted due to justifiable homicide. He passed away in 1913. ^[1]
