Mrs. Hall lived in this city practically all her life and through her many years of residence made a host of friends, who sincerely mourn her death. She was a friendly woman and never missed the opportunity to speak a friendly work as she walked along our streets. A few years ago she left this city to make her home with her son, but returned for short periods to be among old friends.
Funeral services were held Tuesday morning at the Church of Our Lady of the Angels. The Rev. John Bettendorf sang the requiem mass and interment was made in Oakland cemetery on the family lot beside the grave of her husband. Pallbearers were: B. O.
