For a long time he had stood in the presence of the dread messenger of Death with the resignation and a calm trust in the wisdom of the Almighty. When the summons came, quietly and peacefully he heeded the call, and surrounded by weeping relatives and friends, passed into the great beyond. Maj. Hall was a man of strong conviction, resolute of purpose and always earnest in his devotion to the Christian religion. Originally intensely opposed to secession, as soon as the war cloud burst over the South there was none more devoted than he in aiding and assisting the state in the four years of terrific strife which followed. Five of his sons were shot down on the field of battle and wherever known the name of HALL was the synonym for cool bravery and intrepid daring. In his death the state loses a note and able citizen, a great and good man--- WETUMPKA REFORM ADVOCATE ( I suppose this means it was also printed in the Wetumpka reform Advocate) Submitted by : Gladys Stovall Armstrong
