  William T. Hale
Hale's administration was noted for its era of street paving, for the improvement of Wright Park, for the installation of a complete water system in Maple Grove Cemetery and for the auditing of the city's books and accounts and the installing of a complete and modern bookkeeping system.
William T. Hale, Sr., was born near Somerset, Pulaski County, Kentucky, November 13, 1833, the very day on which the "stars fell" and established a new event from which to date births and deaths and other domestic incidents.
Hale became one of the founders of the Bank of Ethel, was made its first president and subsequently took the management of the institution as its cashier and gradually rose to prominence as a financier in that region.

 NASM Space Artifacts: Hale 24-Pounder Rocket
The Hale gunpowder war rocket of the last century was invented by the Englishman William Hale (1797-1870) in 1844 as a way to eliminate the cumbersome wooden guidestick of the Congreve rocket.
The Hale rocket was therefore called the stickless, or rotary rocket, since it obtained its stability in flight by part of the exhaust gases causing the rocket to rotate or spin on its axis.
Hale used the hydraulic press to compress the powder whereas the earlier Congreve rockets relied upon a huge weight on a pulley that compressed the powder which was called the "monkey press." This method was also dangerous as sparks during the loaded process could cause explosions.

Hale identified one of the means by which his interest in astronomy was encouraged: his parents supported the inquisitive nature of their son wholeheartedly, both with devoted interest and with financial support.
Hale had been excited in 1890 when he learned that a new university would be built nearby in fields "where, as a boy, he had picked wild strawberries." 8 He learned from his friends, Pickering and Douglass, that Harper had written to them, inquiring about him and his work.
Hale reported that the idea came to him independently, although he was aware of the principle, suggested by Janssen in 1869, and of instruments involving the same principle, designed by Braun, of Kalosca, and Lohse, of Potsdam, in 1872 and 1880, respectively.
