Hall, only son of Thomas W. and Sarah A.  Hall, aged 27 years ad 11 months.  For about three weeks he suffered severely, still no murmur or complaint escaped his lips.  His last hours were peaceful.  His hope was like an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast.  His faith unwavering, and he felt that to depart and be with Christ was far better than to  stay here and suffer and toil.  He felt assured that he should meet with his little girl now in Heaven.  He leaves a widow and many loving friends to mourn his loss.

Two years have passed since that sorrowful day / When death on pale horse bore my child away; / To the realms of bliss, of love and delight. / Her soul was conveyed by the angel in white.

In the silence of the night a voice I did hear, / Calling "Papa, papa, come up here,? so plain and clear. / That it must be my child is drawing near, / To tell us of her home so pure and dear.

But alas! with the call came the angel of death. / My husband is summoned to the land of rest; / But calmly and triumphantly i heard him say, / "Yes, blessed Jesus, I'm coming to thee."
