OLIVER W. HALL.

	Oliver W. Hall is one of the well known young business men of 
Fort Collins, where in association with his brother, Sigourney D. Hall, 
he is engaged in dealing in Ford cars. He is one of Colorado's native 
sons, his birth having occurred in Sterling on the 27th of September, 
1892. His parents are Dr. J. N. and Carrie G. (Ayers) Hall, the former 
a native of Massachusetts and the latter of Mississippi. The father is 
a graduate of Amherst College of Massachusetts and was also graduated 
from the medical department of Harvard University. He then entered upon 
the active work of his profession as an interne in the Boston City 
Hospital and from that experience gained the broad and comprehensive 
knowledge that only hospital service brings. About 1884 he came to 
Colorado, settling in Sterling, where he practiced until January, 1893, 
when he went to Denver, where he has since engaged in professional 
work, being today recognized as one ol the eminent physicians and 
surgeons of that city. His wife also survives and they are highly 
esteemed in social circles of Denver. Having for a third of a century 
made their home in this state, they have witnessed much of its growth 
and progress and Dr. Hall is numbered among the earlier physicians of 
Denver.

	Oliver W. Hall was reared in Denver and there pursued his early 
education in the graded and high schools. He afterward attended the 
Colorado College at Colorado Springs for a year and next went east to 
Michigan and became a student in the University of Michigan at Ann 
Arbor, from which institution he was graduated with the class of 1915, 
thus being well trained for life's practical and responsible duties. In 
1912 he and his brother engaged in the automobile business, handling 
the Ford cars only. They have since engaged in the sale of that car and 
in the conduct of a garage, occupying a building seventy-five by one 
hundred and thirty feet. They do an enormous business, their annual 
sales reaching a very extensive figure, while their repair department 
is liberally patronized and they also have a large sale for Ford parts, 
tires and all automobile accessories and supplies.

	On the 25th of May, 1916, Mr. Hall was married to Miss Ethel M. 
Moore and they have one child, William Oliver, born July 30, 1918. Mr. 
Hall is a member of the Masonic fraternity and the Knights of Pythias, 
while his religious faith is that of the Methodist Episcopal church and 
his political belief that of the republican party.
