Apollos Hale (1807–1898)[1] was a Methodist Episcopal preacher in New England. He joined the Millerites and contributed significantly as a lecturer, a writer, and co-designer of the widely disseminated "1843 chart". Following the Great Disappointment, he adopted the shut-door doctrine at first, along with Joseph Turner. Later he abandoned this interpretation.
Hale began his work as a Methodist Episcopal minister in Charleston and Medford, Massachusetts,[2] in 1833.[3] He married Rebecca Wait in December, 1836.[4] He left the Methodist Episcopal ministry in 1842.[5]
Hale spent the last years of his life in Washington, D.C., where he died.[6]
