Nine children were born to Mr. and Mrs. HALL, five of whome, with their mother are still living. For many years Mr. HALL was afflicted with asthma, but his latter trouble, and that which caused his death was dropsey. For a number of months he patiently endured his suffering, and his end which came March 12th was peaceful and sustained by a confident trust in God. He was a member of the Methodist church. The funeral service was held from the Methodist church on Sunday afternoon, March 13th, conducted by Rev. W. B. THOMPSON, assisted by Rev. W. F. MARK.
