Mrs. Teresa Ann Hall Crosses The Divide

At the home of Dr. B.W. Hall at 7 a.m. September 7, 1911, the spirit of Mrs. 
Teresa Ann Hall passed peacefully to that undiscovered land from which no 
traveler ever returns.  While somewhat sudden, still the end was not at all 
unexpected.  June 8, 1911 she had a stroke of paralysis and since that time 
her many friends and relatives have had but little hope of her complete and 
final recovery.  She was the daughter of Louis Scarborough, deceased of 
Madison county, and was born July 23, 1836.  At the age of 19 years, under the 
preaching of Rev. Asa Duncan, she professed faith in Jesus Christ and joined 
the Baptist church at Millshoal, Madison county, having lived up to her 
profession of faith for a period of fifty-seven years, being 75 years old at 
the time of her death.

In November 1854, she was married to Charles Woodson Hall of Elbert County.  
To this union were born nine children, seven of whom survive the deceased.  
She leaves forty-five living grandchildren and twenty-six great-grandchildren 
to mourn her death.

Scarcely do we find natural affection more highly developed in the lives of 
great men and women than we find in the life and character of the deceased.

During the Civil War between the states, when men’s souls were tried as never 
before, her husband, C.W. Hall, faced shot and shell, in time of battle, 
sometimes sharing victory and sometimes defeat.

The deceased, Mrs. T.A. Hall, in adversity and prosperity, fought the battles 
of life, both in the home and on the farm, winning bread for four loved 
children at home.

Being faithful until the end in a few things she did whatsoever her hands 
found to do.  She truly provided for her own household by untiring energy and 
industry.  It may be truly said that the guiding characteristics
of her life  were Faith, Hope and Charity.

To the bereaved we would suggest to fill in the measure of her shortcomings, 
should she have any faults.

In all the essentials you cannot err to emulate her life and character.  Long 
before death relieved her sufferings she realized the end was near at hand.  
She narrated for her loved ones that she had prayed to God to give her the 
victory over death and she had assurance that her prayers had been answered.  
In adversity and prosperity this faithful mother of Israel has spent her best 
days in Elbert County.

Many happy family reunions have been held annually at the hospitable home of 
Mr. and Mrs. W.A. Carrington, near Bowman, Ga., in her honor, on her birthday.

Brothers, sisters, children, grandchildren, mother is gone.  She cannot come 
hither anymore.  But it is possible for all of us to go hence to meet her in 
the happy beyond.  There will be no more happy family reunions in her honor on 
earth.  Let us have, if possible, a happy family reunion in the glory land.  
Her remains were interred at Rehath this afternoon.

Her son, B.W. Hall

Mrs. Hall was the grandmother of the editor of the New Era (John Andy Smith)
