HALL, business manager of the News and member of the News Company of Joliet, was born in Dupage County, Ill., November 14, 1857. His parents were among the pioneers, having settled in Dupage and Kendall Counties, Ill., early in the '30s. He obtained his education primarily in the "little red schoolhouse," after which he studied in Jennings' Seminary at Aurora. Leaving school when fifteen years of age he began to learn the printer's trade. Four years later, with one of his present partners, J. H. Ferriss, he published the Yorkville News in Yorkville, Ill. In 1877 he came to Joliet. Until 1882 he engaged in newspaper work here, after which for ten years he was manager for the American Press Association in Cincinnati and Chicago, and also held responsible positions with the Chicago Newspaper Union, American Type Founders' Company and Thorne Type Setting Machine Company. Few men have a larger personal acquaintance with the newspaper business throughout the United States than he, as he has traveled extensively through most of the states. In 1897 he returned to Joliet, where he has an attractive and comfortable residence on Sherman street. While he belongs to a few fraternal organizations and press associations, he has never been especially interested in lodge work nor is he much of a club man. He was married in 1880 to Belle G. Moulton, of Joliet, and they have a son, Harry H., nineteen years old, and a daughter, Elsie Katherine, twelve years of age.
