NOAH D. HALL was born in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, September 21, 1851. His father
and mother, aged eighty-six and eighty-three years, respectively, are still
living at the old home in Wisconsin.

  In 1872, at the age of nineteen years, he left his native home and came direct
to San Jose, California. After remaining there a short time, he came to
Hollister, San Benito county, and engaged in ranching. He was on a ranch for
about five years, and each season went with a threshing machine, acting as
engineer. In 1877, he sold his ranch and started for Oregon, making the journey
by team. Not liking the country in Oregon, he returned to Hollister in November
of the same year, and engaged in the express and truck business. After
conducting that business five years he sold out and began work at his trade,
that of machinist.

  In 1874 Mr. Hall returned to the home of his childhood, and was there married
to Miss Emma L. Conrad, by whom he has had four children, one son and three
daughters, namely: Edna, Irvie, Mary and Kattie. At this writing (1892) they are
aged fifteen, thirteen, ten and seven years, respectively.

  Mr. Hall is now Superintendent of the Hollister Water Company, which position
he has filled most efficiently for the last three years. He is an active member
of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Ancient Order of United Workmen and
the Ancient Order of Foresters. He is also a member of the National Association
of Engineers. As a pioneer of the county he is well known, and wherever known is
highly respected.
