Mr. Dale was born and reared in Shelby county, and his record is therefore well known to the people who have entrusted him with the duties and responsibilities of one of the most important offices in the county. In any worthy, respectable community, two primary essential qualifications are required of an official in a public position — capacity and honesty, the qualifications which Jefferson always inquired into. That one has these qualifications for a responsible office is a matter of not a little credit. But that, in addition to these, that he should have those qualities which make one admired and popular, and distinguish him from among others by the good opinions of the community, is commendatory in no ordinary degree, both personally and as a citizen, in the business and other affairs of life. Mr. Dale's opportunities have been no better than those of the general run of boys and young men in the county. But by improving such opportunities as he had to the best advantage, and by observing at all times an irreproachable line of conduct, as well as by showing an accommodating disposition and making himself agreeable and pleasant to those around him, he has succeeded not only in fitting himself well for the business duties and responsibilities of life, but in winning the respect and esteem of all who know him. Such men make efficient and popular public officials and invariably rise to prominence and success. Mr. Dale was born near Shelbyville, in this county, September 5, 1858, and was a son of Isaac Dale and wife, a Miss Margaret Dennis before her marriage, both natives of Maryland. They came to Missouri in 1854 and settled on a farm in Shelby county, near Shelbyville. In 1861 they removed to Clarence, where the father engaged in merchandising, a business he followed at that place until his death. He died August 36 ]sic], 1878. The mother died September 1, two years before. They left a family of seven children : Hiram, William, Jesse, Rufus, John D., Charlotte, now Mrs. Charles Courtney ; Rebecca, now Mrs. John Hainline, of Vernon county ; and Caroline, now Mrs. James Stacy. John D. Dale was educated at Clarence and in the Methodist Academy at Shelbyville. The practical business of merchandising he learned in his father's store, and he and his brother Rufus were, for nearly a year before his father's death, partners with him in business under the firm name of Dale & Sons. After the father's death they closed up their business, and John D. and his brother Rufus went to Las Vegas, N. M. John D., however, soon returned and engaged in the grocery business at Clarence. He had previously been in this business for two years. After his return he continued to trade in the grocery line until 1880, when he was elected constable of the township. He then closed out his grocery store, and after serving two years as constable, such was his popularity and acquaintance over the county that he was nominated and elected circuit clerk and recorder, the position he now holds. Mr. Dale has the reputation of being a capable, efficient officer, and is personally very popular throughout the county. He is frequently commended by the court and the bar for the expedition and correctness with which he dispatches business, and the neatness and system of his manner of keeping the records of his office. By the public at large his official record is warmly endorsed. May 15, 1883, he was married to Miss Mary E. Priest, a daughter of Dr. A. G. Priest, of this county, a most estimable lady. They have just lost their only child, an infant, born March 26, 1884. Mr. Dale is a member of the Masonic order and of the I. O. O. F.
