DESCRIPTION:

A private burying ground at the old Hall home in which only three person seem to 
have been buried.  It is enclosed by a brick wall which has been cemented over, 
and is in very good condition.  It is kept and cared for by relatives of Colonel 
Hall.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:


It is not known when this cemetery was established; it certainly dates back to 
1822, as that date is given as the date when Mary Hall, wife of George Hall, 
died and was buried in the cemetery.  It is a family burying ground, and all 
buried there are presumably of the Hall family.

From the inscription on her tomb, Anna Dardin was an estimable woman, and lived 
her full three score years and ten, dying at the age of seventy-one.

The following names and inscriptions may be seen in the Hall Cemetery:


In Memory of
Anna Dardin
who was born June 28, 1783
and died October 9th, 1854
Her Amiability and purity of life was the
respect and affection of all.  Though born
deaf and dumb, she was remarkably intelligent,
understood and embraced the Christian faith 
and so exemplified it in her life as
to justify the hope that she had gone to him
who made the deaf hear and the dumb to speak.


In Memory of
Mary Hall
wife of George Hall
who was born Feb. 8, 1786
and died October 5, 1822


In Memory of
George Hall
who was born February 6th, 1785
and died February 11th, 1831
