WILLIAM H. HALL.—He is the son of Davis and Mary A. Hall, and was born in Oxford
county, Maine, April 29, 1843. That same year his parents removed to Waltham,
Hancock county, where our subject remained until 1861. He attended school until
the age of sixteen, when he commenced to learn the plumber's trade. In February,
1861, he started for California, via the Isthmus, arriving in San Francisco
March 6 of that year. He soon left for the interior of the state, coming direct
to Honey Lake valley. Here he engaged in farming and teaming until 1869, when he
went to White Pine, Nevada. Returning in 1870, he engaged in milling at
Johnstonville, where he has since made his home, and in 1872 bought an interest
in the Lassen Mills at that point. In 1875 he formed a copartnership with Mr.
Snyder, with whom he has since continued. He is a member of Lassen Lodge No.
149, F. & A. M. In politics he is republican. He was married December 4, 1875,
to Miss Mary J. Sifford, who was born in Missouri, April 1, 1854. Their only
child is Jesse, born July 4, 1879, in this county.
