"MUSTERED OUT"
Whitman S. Hall, aged 73 years, 11 months and 18 days, passed peacefully to 
the Great Beyond at his home at Whittemore, Mich., on the evening of 
February 18, 1913. The deceased had been in declining health for the past 
year and confined to his home for several months, and while his death was 
not wholly unexpected it came as a shock to his immediate family and large 
circle of friends.
Whitman Stoddard Hall was born at Hamburg, Livingston County Michigan. 
February 28, 1839. He enlisted for the Civil War at Whitmore Lake, MIch., 
on the 6th day of September, 1861, and was mustered into the service of the 
United States for a term of three years. He re-enlisted January 19, 1864, 
at LaGrange, Tenn., for three years; was mustered out at San Antonio, Tex., 
February 12, 1866, having served for a period of four years, five months and 
six days.
On May 20, 1866, he was united in marriage to Harriet L. Sawyer at Hamburg, 
Mich. Their home was at this place until 1868, when they moved to 
Jamestown, Ind. In 1876 they returned to Michigan, and their home was at 
Plymouth until 1881, when they moved to Luzerne, Oscoda county, Mich. In 
1887 they came to Whittemore and purchased a farm south of this place. On 
account of failing health the deceased was forced to give up his farm life, 
and moved to this city in April, 1905, where he has since resided. During 
his 24 years of residence here he has proved himself a loyal citizen, being 
a man of sterling worth and ability, honorable, charitable, respected by all 
who knew him. He leaves an aching void which will be hard to fill.
Besides the bereaved widow he is survived by one son, Burr R. Hall; one 
daughter, Mrs. D. R. Hurford, and four grandchildren --Romanzo, Erma and 
Thad Hall and Vera L. Hurford, who reside at this place. Also one brother, 
L. C. Hall, of Plymouth, Mich., a sister, Mrs. Jennie Embry, of Grand 
Rapids, Mich., and a nephew, Fred S. Hall, of Plymouth.
The funeral services were held on Friday afternoon, February 20, it being 
one of the largest funerals held here in many years, which showed the esteem 
in which the deceased was held by his large circle of acquaintances. The
seermon, by Rev. W. R. Blachford, rector of Christ church, East Tawas, was 
one long to be remembered. The floral tributes were very beautiful. The 
deceased was laid to rest in the Saints' cemetery, surrounded by a large 
concourse of sorrowing friends, who gathered to pay the last tribute of 
respect to him who had been their friend in life.
