Hall, Edward (p. 377), a former resident of Oakwood Township, where for a
number of years he was engaged in agriculture, was a native of Ireland.
After emigrating to Canada, he was there married to Maria Elems, and
together they came to the United States, stopping for a while in New York
State, and later in Michigan, where Mr. Hall found employment in the
copper mines at Rockland. In 1866 he came to Wabasha County, Minnesota,
buying a farm of 160 acres in section 25, Oakwood Township. Here he left
his family and returned to Silva Island, Canada, where he worked for two
years, earning and saving money. He then returned to his farm in Oakwood
Township, this county, and was subsequently engaged in general farming
here until his death on July 4, 1893. His wife is still living and is now
a resident of Plainview. They were the parents of nine children:
Catherine, who married Charles Harlan, of this township, both she and her
husband being now deceased; James E., who lives in North Dakota; Marie,
wife of J. H. Harlan, of Langdon, N. D.; John M., who died in North Dakota
in March, 1915; Theresa, who was the wife of R. H. Tombs and died in
California in 1903; Thomas F., of Oakwood Township; Bird J., who married
R. O. Halelelid of North Dakota; Frances E., wife of J. P. Waste of
Plainview; and Edward R. Hall of Winona.
