Homan, 1418 Clermont St., where she had been most of the time following a recent operation for glaucoma. While convalescing she suffered thrombosis of an artery in the leg Tuesday morning and her condition at once became critical, continueing to become worse. Isabelle Henrdrie Grey was born May 27, 1859, at Burlington, Wis., and was the daughter of James and Margaret McMillian Grey, both natives of Scotland. While she was a small child she moved with her parents to a farm in Calumet county near Hilbert, Wis., her education was completed at the Oshkosh Normal school and for several years afterward taught school in the towns of Gravesville, Dundas, Menasha, and Harrison. Fifty-four years ago, on March 19, 1881, Isabelle Grey became the bride of James C. Hall, at Woodville, Calumet county. After their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Hall lived for three years on the farm of Joseph Hall in Magnolia township, Rock county. Three years later, with their daughter, Nena, they moved to Unity, Wis., where Mr. Hall was principal of the high school. Later, when Mr. Hall entered the service of the New York Life Insurance company, the family moved to Oshkosh to make their home. In April, 1898, the family came to Langlade county, taking up a farm in East Ackley on the west branch of the Eau Claire river. This continued to be the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hall except for about two years when they resided with theior son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Earle S. Holman, in this city. They celebrate their golden wedding on March 19, 1931. Surviving Mrs. Hall are her widower; three sons----Prescott, of Minneapolis; Forest, of Weyerhauser; and Ian, now living on the home farm; and one daughter, Mrs. Earle S. Holman of this city.

Also among the survivors are grandsonsm Richard Hall of Minneapolis and Bradley of Weyerhauser; a sister, Mrs. Jean Miller of Menlo Park, California; a niece, Mrs. Herbert Baker of Minneapolis; and a nephew, George Nicholson of of Manistique, Mich. Mrs. Hall was a woman of wide interests and great activity while retaining bodily health. During her first years as a resident of Langlade county she experienced most of the hardships of the pioneer, and many families in the primitive community knew her kindly ministrations. She took great pride in the farm, named Bradley Park in honor of her son, which she had cooperated in developing from a wilderness clearing. She was a member of the Service Star Legion and a Gol;d Star mother. The body of Mr. Hall will be brought to the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Holman, at 2 p. m. Sunday. There will be a brief service of prayer at the house at 2 p. m. Tuesday, and a funeral service at the Congregational church at 2:30 p. m. The Rev. H. P. Freeling, pastor of the departed, will officiate. Burial will be in the family
