The Portland Observer, Tuesday, September 10, 1918


William Hall died at his home on south Kent street early Monday morning of 
blood poisoning.  While unloading coal at one of the elevators a couple of 
weeks ago he received a slight scratch on one of his arms.  It developed into 
a bad case of blood poisoning later and for several hours before his death it 
became evident he could not survive.  His wife also contracted the disease 
while attending him, but her case it not as serious.

“Bill” Hall, as he was familiarly known all over this part of the county, lead 
a most active life until recent years.  He was a well digger by trade and put 
down many wells in this vicinity.  Then he engaged in the draying business and 
for several years carried the mail and express.  After the death of his wife 
he disposed of his dray line and moved to Lyons township, residing near his 
daughter, Mrs. Roy Buck.  It was while living there that he married Miss 
Nettie Walter, who survives him.  The couple have two young children.  Mrs. 
Buck was a daughter by the first wife, whose maiden name was Frances Manning.

After returning to this village Mr. Hall, advanced in years, and with much of 
his old vitality gone, worked industriously, but only at such odd jobs as he 
could do.  He was 67 years old and was born in Orange township. 

Funeral arrangements had not been made yesterday morning when the Review went 
to press.

We desire to thank each and every one who so kindly assisted us in so many 
different ways during the sickness and after the death of husband and father.  
May God bless them is our sincere prayer.

Mrs. Nettie Hall and family.
