  Suffolk, Va., Sept. 19 - The funeral of W.T. Hall of Drewryville, who died 
Tuesday after months of ill health, were conducted from his late home today

was greatly beloved in his section, underwent an operation in a Norfolk 
hospital a few days before his death and never rallied.

WILLIAM THOMAS HALL 

  Mr. William Thomas Hall was born December 12, 1859 in Prince George county. 
For twenty years he had been a resident of Southampton county, a good citizen. 
Early in life he married Miss Nannie Beale from which marriage there are six 
children.  He was a faithful and devoted husband and father.  Mr. Hall was a 
steward in Peetes M E. church, having been a consistent member for a number of 
years.  He was a member of Masonic Lodge No. 85 and I.O.O.F. No. 270. 

  Mr. Hall had been failing in health, but not until the last few weeks had 
his condition become of such nature as to require a special nurse.  She and 
attentive doctors did all in their power.  On September 7th he was carried to 
Sarah Leigh Hospital, Norfolk.  There he lived ten days before the Great 
Physician saw fit to relieve him of his suffering and pain.  At two-thirty 
P.M. September 17th he passed away; his beloved wife was at his bedside. 

  His remains were laid to rest at noon September 19th at his late home, a few 
miles from Capron.
