Description  Remained “manager of Dooria till the Indigo Association was about to break up and sell off their factories, when he made up his mind to retire. Went home and joined his brother John at Cheltenham.” Developed cancer of the tongue, “of which terrible disease he eventually died. Gale, though he delighted in a rowdy party, was a good man at heart. He always went into Mozufferpore on a Saturday as if he had to go in on business, so as to be there for Sunday and go to church. After he arrived in England he became very religious.” One of the kindest hearted men whom the author, Minden J. Wilson, ever knew, “always ready for any fun, hospitable to a fault.” “He was very strict that work be properly done and attended to, and, like a good man, he was most particular in seeing to the factory cattle that they were well fed and attended to.”
