   ALBERT A. HALL, one of the well to-do men of Grant Township, was born in the
year 1851 in Kentucky, and is the only issue to the union of Alexander and
Elizabeth (Dowden) Hall, who were natives of Scotland and Kentucky respectively,
the latter dying in 1867 and the former in 1872. Albert A. passed his youthful
years in assisting his parents on the home farm, but at the age of fifteen he
started out in the world to battle with the realities of life on his own
responsibility. In 1872, he came to Indiana, and in 1878, together with Samuel
Harden, he embarked at saw-milling at which the firm of Hall & Harden are doing
a profitable business. Besides owning valuable mill fixtures worth about $1,800,
the firm possess eighty acres of land in Grant Township. Mr. Hall is one of the
progressive and successful men of Greene County, is a member of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows, and a Democrat in politics, as was also his father before him.
