Mr. Hall was a member of Yonnondio Lodge, F&AM; Ionic Chapter, the Rochester Consistory, Damascus Temple of the Shrine, the Royal Jesters and Damascus Temple Patrol. He also was an honorary life member of the Rochester Lodge of Elks and the Locust Club and held membership in the Rochester Club.
Surviving Mr. Hall are his daughter, Mrs. Alvah G. Strong; a brother, Edward H. Hall of St. Petersburg, Fla.; four granddaughters, Mrs. John L. Wehle, Mrs. James F. Mangan, Mrs. Richard J. Garrett and Miss Sally Strong; seven great-grandsons, one great-granddaughter, two nieces and a nephew.
A funeral service will be held at 4 p.m. tomorrow in the Third Presbyterian Church, East Avenue and Meigs Street. Burial will be in Oak Woods Cemetery, Chicago. In lieu of flowers, friends are asked to contribute to the Shrine Crippled Children's Hospital Fund.
