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 fomer in 1872.  Albert A. passed his youthful years in assist-
ing 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 responsi-
bility.  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

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
