Dale was struck with polio at the age of 16. It left both his right arm and right leg withered but did not stop him from getting around.

In all, Dale and May Allen had 17 children. Their 8th child was a boy who was still born in 1915. Fourteen months later Edna Bell was born, their 9th child. She died at the age of 5 months of complications from the "old fashioned" measles. These two deaths divided the family in half with a four year gap in children. The first seven children were referred to as the "first" family" and the surviving eight as the "second" family.
