VIOLA RUTH HALL
     Viola Ruth Hall was born on Albion Priaire, Wisconsin on April 8, 1911, 
and passed away on November 25, 1927, at the same place, in the same room and 
on the same say of the week that she was born. She attended the Albion Prairie 
district school, graduating there from in the spring of 1925. At the time of 
her death, she was a member of the Junior class of the Edgerton High School, 
and was at all times very active in all (?) functions and endeavors.
     At an early age Ruth became a member of the Albion Prairie Primitive 
Methodist church and has been an active member at all times since that 
occasion. She was a member and a regular attendant of the Primitive Methodist 
Sunday School from childhood.
     A life has gone from a fireside where for sixteen years it had been a ray 
of sunshine, an inspiration for noble living. Thought bu sixteen years had 
been lived there had been an unmistakable mark planted by this young life on 
the hearts, not only of her own home, but of all with whom she associated.
     Now a junior in the Edgerton High, Ruth had spent two years and three 
months as a loyal, industrious student of that school. Teachers delighted in 
her class presence and her classmates enjoyed her cheerful attitude toward 
all. She made a student body look upon school life a real achievemnet. SHe 
will be no longer in their midst, but her influence will continue until the 
class is no more.
     When life is stilled and lips no longer can speak; one ponders o'er the 
days when life was there, and so today, the words of Ruth and the spirit she 
sidplayed are acting as an incentive toward a better relationship with brother 
man.
     Ruth was a popular member of her class and school, She believed in 
Service and acted out her belief whenever called upon. Her unselfish giving of 
time and energy to every worthy cause made her a leader among her classmates 
and a worthy example for all the underclassmen in school to follow. This 
popularity due to service giving carried outside of school and made of her a 
real womanly young lady.
     It would not be fitting to pass over the events of Ruth's life withour 
mentioning the close companionship which she enjoyed with her grandfather, 
Samuel Hall, who was a member of the home. They were real pals in the true 
sense of the word, and the manner in which she confided her joys, actions and 
sorrows in him should ever be a bright and shining inspiration for other young 
people to maintain a closer relationship with and enjoy the experiences and 
confidence of thise who have had the opportunity of meeting the joys and 
sorrows of life.
     She is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leslie G. Hall, and a sister 
Vera; and her grandfather, Samuel Hall, and a large number of relatives and 
friends.
     Funeral services were held on Monday, November 28, 1927, at one-thirty 
o'clock at the house and at two o'clock at the Albion Prairie Primitive 
Methodist Church, and the remains laid to rest in the Albion Prairie cemetery,

Illinois, officiating.
