Mrs. Ilnll passed the seventy-seventh
milestone on life’s journey on tho tenth
f Juno, but ovou at that advanced ago
sho retained much of the physical vigor
and intelleotnal brilliance which had
boon hers earlier in life. During her
last tllnosH, she was sustained by re
markable vitality and power of will,
and wns fully cognizant of her condi
tion nnd snrronndings. During the last
fow days of her illness complications de-
volopod that made suffering more in
tense, bnt all was borne uncomplain
ingly nnd with unfailing patience.
Mrs. Hnll, prior to hor marriage, was
Miss Sarah Grove Ashe, and belonged
distinguished Southern family.
She beonmo the wife in 18-18 -of Satnnol
Hall. Esq., who subsequently became a
noted jarist, and Berved with great dis
tinction on the Georgia snpreme beuoh.
He preceded his wife to the grave by
some years. Mrs. Hall, In her yonng
ladyhood, enjoyed exceptional educa
tional advantages, and was noted for
her soholarly attainments. Even In her
deollning years her mental powers were
not impaired, and iu the most brilliant
company she never failed to be the oeu-
ter of an Interested gronp.
For a number of years Mrs. Hall had
made her home in this city with her
two sons, Messrs. B. A. and R. P. Hall.
Prior to that time the family home was
In Maoon, where one of her sons, Hon.
Joseph Hall, still resides.
Mrs. Hall was a consistent member
of the Episoopal olmrch, and she leaves
to posterity the reoord of a beautiful
Christian life. With unselfishness one
of her happiest traits, she sought to
make others happy, and succeeded
where many other* wonld have failed,
She was idolised by her ohildren and
grandobildren, and all others with
whom she came in close contact were
drawn irresistibly into her coterie of de
voted friends.
Mrs. Hall was a woman who will be
missed in the family olrole and in the
oommnnity, but many who survive her
will long bless her name for the good
inflnenoe her splendid life has left be
hind. The Herald joins with the
whole community in extending sincere
sympathy to the sorrowing children nnd
other relatives of the deoeased.
