2. From Hales Chronicles online at www.hales.org mentions parents in the autobiography of son Melvin Donald Hales: It was a cold and dreary day in Junction, Piute County, Utah, when to my knowledge I made my first appearance on this earthly hemisphere as a mortal being on January 3rd, 1910. I was privileged to have, to my estimation, the most wonderful earthly parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Heber Hales, that has been brought forth in any dispensation since the beginning and creation of this earth. My first recollection of my Childhood was during a period of time that my father was Marshall and it was one of his duties to ring the church bell at 9 p.m. every night signifying that it was curfew time and that all youngsters should be home. This obligation he delegated to us Children. There were five of us children at this time: Lorin, Ernest, Wildon, myself and Jesse. Jesse was only two years old at this time so Lorin and I paired off and Ernest and Wildon. We had many varied experiences during our Childhood as some of the Ute Indians weren't too friendly and had maintained an hostile attitude toward the white settlers in the Junction area which my Grandfather Hales had been instrumental in settling. While I encountered no violence personally, some of my Father's relatives were massacred. Listening to my parents and friends discussing many of the interesting events that took place with the Indians never failed to fill us with dread and I was more than a little reluctant to retire at night. When I was five years old we migrated to Ogden, Utah. We traveled in a sheep wagon and hay rack. The two wagons carried all our earthly belongings. We led our only milk cow which had a calf. We had to keep the calf tied up also as every opportunity that the cow had she would hide the calf thus causing a delay. It took us 30 days to make the trip which can now be made in a very few hours. Arriving in Ogden practically penniless, my Father hired out as a farm worker to a fellow in Manilla, Utah. We only stayed there one summer and then returned to Ogden. The following winter my Father was seriously injured and he was crippled for the rest of his life. I was only six years old at the time. My Father was working on a construction project, adding a four story addition to the Ogden Packing and Provision Company. It was night and he had taken the elevator to the third floor for some material. Being away only a moment from the elevator he carried the material right in without checking and it being so dark he was unable to see someone had moved the elevator up to the fourth floor, consequently he fell down the shaft three stories and lit on a concrete floor. It broke nearly every bone in his body and for the first year in the hospital no one figured he would live. Miraculously because of the clean life he had lived and the good health he had enjoyed, he partially recovered. At this time we lived on the site of the old university site in Ogden above Harrison and 30th. This covered 80 acres. The St. Benedict Hospital now covers part of the old farm. We had some pigs so now it became necessary that we children run the farm. Consequently Lorin and I would run the ranch two weeks while Wildon and Ernest attended school and then we would alternate. This made it impossible for us to receive any resemblance of a good education, but I never regretted this inconvenience as I was able to obtain more knowledge through experience than I could of possibly obtained from books. My Father and Mother taught me many things that have proved invaluable to my success in later life. The Lord has blessed me so abundantly for this small sacrifice during my Childhood and early youth. We finally moved to the city in 1924. We lived at 3725 Washington Avenue in South Ogden and attended the Burch Creek School. I worked nights at the Uintah Dairy washing bottles. I was so small I had to stand on boxes to reach the tank... My father had a truck so he was fortunate to get a job at the Old Banner Ice Cream Company situated on the bank of the Ogden River and Washington Avenue. I went along with him when it was possible as it was very difficult for him to get around. He picked up cream at the farmers in the Kanesville area and brought it in to make ice cream. At the age of 16 I was able to get a job as truck driver on their milk route in Pleasant View and Willard, Utah. I picked up 10 gallon cans of raw milk and brought it in. They had an old model-T truck and it was continually breaking down. I believe it gave me a complex because to this day I wouldn't own a Ford. About this time my brother Ernest, who lived in Bisbee, Arizona, wrote us to come down there as he thought he could get us all jobs in the mines. I was quite young, going on only 17 years of age, so I was able to get a job at the Phelps Dodge Store in Lowell and stayed there one year. This was a mining town and we encountered many unpleasant experiences so the following spring we returned to Ogden. I had to give up school permanently now as my Father's health was gradually deteriorating. I found a job as apprentice at the Union Pacific Railroad roundhouse in Ogden. I worked here for nearly a year. At this time my Father's health made it difficult for him to work steady so he started peddling fruit into Wyoming. Whenever he was ill I would take over and make the trip for him. The Safeway Store in Evanston, Wyoming purchased quite a bit of fruit from him and finally persuaded my Dad to haul all their groceries from Salt Lake City for them, so I purchased myself a 1 ton Chevy stake body truck and went into business with him. Our business expanded into Kemmerer and Rock Springs, Wyoming. Then to all stores in Utah, and some in Idaho. We now were forced to take out a franchise as a common truck carrier, it being the grand-daddy or original truck line permit to be issued in the State of Utah. We now branched out into California and operated approximately 15 refrigerated trucks carrying all the dairy products manufactured in Utah and some from Idaho and Wyoming... We moved to Salt Lake at 836 South West Temple and lived there nearly one year when I was selected to handle the Los Angeles division of the truck line. This was a very hectic life as the trucks were continually breaking down out in the desert due to the bad roads in those days. We were now encroaching upon the railroads' business to the extent that they put pressure on the State Legislature to pass bills to curtail it. They had the foresight to see that if trucking continued it would have a definite effect on their business because of the increased efficiency and time saved. So they had their lawyers draw up tax bills which were pressured through, costing our truck line so much money that it made it prohibitive to operate. We fought them in the Utah courts for over a year, but their money lasted longer than ours and we finally were forced to give up the ship. We took our equipment and moved to California. To Give you an idea as to the magnitude of our business, just recently a firm offered us $l00,000 if we could reactivate our franchise. Upon checking at the State Capitol we found out the time limitations laying idle had expired so all was lost. We competed with the California Truck lines for a short period of time and found it rather difficult to get started here, so we abandoned the attempt and the Folks moved back to Salt Lake and we stayed on in Los Angeles. I promoted a job at Chrysler motors where I worked for nearly two years and then my Father and Mother returned to California and we entered into the construction business. This turned out to be very fruitful as I gained a magnitude of experience in a new field, and it proved to be one of the chief essentials responsible for my success of today. I stayed with this trade until I was 31 years old and signed a United States Government contract for Pearl Harbor for a construction job... We sailed on December 22, 1942 [returning from Pearl Harbor] aboard the S. S. Henderson, the flag ship of this convoy... Landing in Los Angeles we immediately took a taxi to Dad and Mother's in Maywood. I will always remember how thrilled and happy we were to be reunited again. Mother and Dad could do nothing but cry. I believe they felt doubtful if they would ever see us again..."
