    WILLIAM R. HALL was born August 1st, 1858, in Carthage, New York. When eight

years of age his parents removed to Wayne, Du Page county, Illinois, where he

enjoyed the advantages of the public schools, until fifteen years of age, at

which time his parents removed to Sergeants Bluff, Iowa, where his home was

until he was twenty-six years of age, employed in clerking, and employed by the

railroad company one year on the Pacific coast.



    In 1884, he came to Faulk county, Territory of Dakota, and located on a

homestead on the south-west quarter of section 8, township 118, range 69. After

proving up his homestead, Mr. Hall removed onto his tree claim, being the

north-east of section eighteen, in the same township, where he yet resides.



    Mr. Hall is one of the early pioneers that passed through sunshine and

storm, through hardship and privations, that: none but those who start out in

pioneer life can fully realize; and now with his 480 acres of improved land,

with a-good set of farm buildings, and all necessary farm machinery and a well

stocked farm, is counted among the reliable, prosperous fanners of the county.



    On February 13, 1883, Mr. Hall was united in marriage to Miss Lizze Wolf who

was a resident of Sergeants Bluff, in the state of Iowa.



    To them have been born two children, viz: May E., now Mrs. J. J. Champlin,

who now resides in the state of Oregon; and William J., who is still residing on

the family homestead.



    Mr. and Mrs. Hall are members of the Faulkton Congregational church, and he

is a member of the Modern Brotherhood of America. In politics he is identified

and in sympathy with the republican party.
