Obed Pease Hale (1809–1892) was an American farmer and Wisconsin pioneer. He served one term in the Wisconsin State Assembly, representing Kenosha County in the first session after the county was created.[1]
Obed P. Hale, son of Obed and Mindwell Hale, was born in Enfield, Connecticut, in 1809. At the age of seventeen he moved to Ohio, and became a farmer. He married Laura B. King, daughter of Jabez and Hannah King, and the first white child born in Chardon, Ohio. They had two sons and two daughters. In 1842, the Hales came to Wisconsin, and settled on a farm in the town of Paris in Kenosha County.
