“Miss Adelaide Leonard Hall, for 49 years a teacher in the public schools, died at half-past 6 o’clock yesterday morning at her home, 236 North Carey street, of a complication of diseases. She had been critically ill only one week. Miss Hall was a native of Philadelphia and was a daughter of the late James and Catherine G. Hall. She was educated in the schools of Philadelphia. When she became a public school teacher in Baltimore, 49 years ago, she taught in a school which was in the basement of a church at Lombard and Greene streets. Afterward she transferred to No. 11 School. Later she became principal of No. 1 School, where she continued until 1863, when she was made principal of No. 8 Female Grammar School, Frederick avenue, near Fulton avenue. She continued as principal until last year, when she was made an assistant teacher under the group system adopted by the School Board. It was through the efforts of Miss Hall that the Teachers’ Mutual Beneficial Association was started. She displayed always a great interest in the association and watched its growth with pleasure. She was also a member of the Teachers’ Beneficial Association. Miss Hall leaves three sisters-Mrs. Mary H. Ford, Mrs. Elizabeth L. Schad, both of this city, and Mrs. Helen M. Macy, of New York. She belonged to St. Luke’s Protestant Episcopal Church.”
