JOSEPH PATTON HALL, JR.

   One of Suffolk’s prominent citizens in the person of Mr. Joseph Patton Hall, 
Jr., died on Wednesday at his home on Saratoga Street at the age of 75 years.

   Mr. Hall had been actively engaged in the drug business in Suffolk for a 
long time and as head of the Joseph P. Hall Drug Company was widely known among 
business men in this section.

   In his youth he enlisted in the War Between the States and served with 
distinction in Mahone Brigade until the close of hostilities

   Quiet and unobtrusive in his manner, but possessing many sterling traits of 
character and active in church work, he had large numbers of friends in Suffolk 
and this section who will deeply regret his passing away. He was a member of the 
vestry of St. Paul’s P.E. church for a long term of years and had been junior 
warden for a number of years.

   Mr. Hall was a member of Tom Smith Camp of Confederate Veterans and a member 
of the Suffolk lodge of Masons.

   His wife, Mrs. Anna Copeland Hall, preceded him to the grave some years ago.

brother, Edward W. Hall; three nieces, Mrs. E.M.C. Quimby, Mrs. Harvey Holland 
and Miss Virginia Jordan, and other relatives.
