    This is a written account of Kale Family history from 9 Apr 1960. Balser is misspelled as Paulson. William Caile is mentioned as being a revolutionary war soldier, but my research has shown that this William Caile is unrelated to Balser. The ending states:

    "This is the end of the Kale history as copied by me without proofreading from a copy that was in our mothers possession at the time of her death... ...Clarence C. Boggs, Sr. Greensboro, NC..."
