   T. A. HALL, boot and shoe dealer of Selma, Ala., was born in Nashville.
Tenn., June 18, 1833. His parents were John and Elizabeth (Williams) Hall, the
former of whom was born in Scotland, and was brought by his parents to the
United States, they settling in Pennsylvania, where he grew to manhood. Mrs.
Elizabeth Hall was of Scotch and English descent. After their marriage the
parents of Mr. T. A. Hall removed to St. Louis, where he received a good common
school education and also a commercial one. After the death of his parents he
came to Selma in 1850, where he served as a clerk to a mercantile firm, and in
1858 embarked in business for himself. Up to the beginning of late war he was a
wholesale grocer in Selma. In 1862 he enlisted in the Confederate service, but
was soon afterward detailed to the railroad department in the government employ,
in which he continued to the close of the war. He then resumed business in Selma
as a cotton factor; but in 1869 he established himself in the boot and shoe
business and has since engaged therein with gratifying success. He has the
oldest established boot and shoe house in Selma. In. 1861 Mr. Hall married Miss
Hattie Colman, daughter of a prominent planter of Dallas county, Ala. She died
in January, 1887. Mr. Hall is a royal arch Mason, a member of the Presbyterian
church, and is recognized by all as a most excellent citizen.
