HARRY J. HALL Harry J. Hall is to be numbered with the progressive, public
minded, and leading citizens of western Stevens county; he resides two
miles south of Fruitland on his estate of two hundred and forty acres which
lies on the old Hudson's Bay Company's trail from the mouth of the Spokane
to Fort Colville.  The estate is one of value and considered one of the
best stock ranches in the country, and Mr. Hall has improved it in a
becoming manner and among other nice things may be mentioned a beautiful
lake covering about twenty-five acres fed by living springs and which is
being stocked with fish.

Harry J. Hall was born in Windsor county, Vermont, on December 29, 1858,
the son of James and Eunice Hall, natives of Vermont and New Hampshire,
respectively.  The father was a captain of the State Militia of Vermont for
several years and served in the Civil war until he was discharged on
account of disability.  About 1861 the family came to Winnebago county,
Wisconsin and in 1879 to Pipestone county, Minnesota, where the father died
in 1883.  The mother was formerly Miss Brown and married Mr. Averill before
her marriage to Mr. Hall. She came west to Stevens county and dwelt with
her son until 1895, the date of her death.  Our subject remained with his
parents and in the same neighborhood until 1887 in which year he came to
Stevens county and located a farm about five miles from his present home
place, which, however, he sold to purchase his present place in 1899.  In
addition to general farming, Mr. Hall raises cattle, horses, and mules.

In November, 1883, occurred the marriage of Mr. Harry J. Hall and Miss Cora
D., daughter of Henry and Lois (Miller) Bennett.  The wedding took place in
Pipestone county, Minnesota, and five children are the fruit of the union,
James H., Jesse J., Francis W., George H., and an infant unnamed.  Mr. and
Mrs. Bennett came to Stevens county in 1883 and reside near the reservation
line now.  Mr. Hall has always manifested a keen interest in educational
matters and has given up his time every year since coming here to act on
the school board.
