Erma LuEmma Hall, passed away on Tuesday, July 16, 2013 at the Beaver City Manor, Beaver City, Nebraska. Erma was born on February 21, 1919 to Osa (Mulford) Robeson, several months after her father, Andrew Earl Robeson had died of influenza in the fall of 1918. She was born southeast of Holbrook, Nebraska on a farmstead--the youngest of four children.
Erma attended the Assembly of God Church, Hendley, Nebraska and was baptized in the Solomon River in Kansas. She was a student at School District #71 for eight years along with her two sisters and brother and her half-brother and half-sister.
Erma then attended Beaver City (NE.) High School, boarded in town and graduated in May of 1937. Having received normal training in high school, she taught in a rural Furnas County, Nebraska one-room school house for one year but then resigned to marry Orval Leonard Hall on October 29, 1938. They were married by the county judge on a Saturday morning in Harrisburg, Banner County, Nebraska, since they were living and working in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, thus allowing the newlyweds to avoid missing work. Erma and Leonard were farmers most of their lives. Erma and Leonard worked a short time on a government farm in Wyoming during the depression years. Working beside them were Leonard's brother, Lowell and Lowell's wife Elsie, Erma's sister. After returning to Furnas County to farm, to this union were born three children, Lana (1940), Dennis (1942) and Jay (1952).
Erma was a farm wife but also worked at the Beaver City, Nebraska Locker Plant for several years. Later, she was an assistant cook and then head cook at Beaver City (NE.) Public Schools. Through the years, Erma also worked as a livestock sale barn clerk, a waitress, and at the Apollo Industries, Beaver City, Nebraska. Leonard was an auctioneer as well as a farmer and horseman.
Erma and Leonard were members of the Beaver Valley Saddle Club and worked with the club's bingo events which helped finance the building of the Beaver City Clinic in 1952. She was a member of the Good Time Club, the VFW Auxiliary, the Beaver City Chamber of Commerce, the Senior Center quilting group and the Red Hatters. Erma, as an adult, attended the Grace Brethren Church, Beaver City, Nebraska and participated in its women's group.
Erma was preceded in death by: parents; husband, Leonard Hall in 1987; step-father, Theodore Wilson; brothers; Bill Robeson and Cecil Wilson; sisters, Evelyn Allison and Elsie Hall; several brothers and sisters-in-law and son-in-law, Morris Mullis.
Erma is survived by: daughter, Lana Laree Mullis, Ten Sleep, Wyoming; sons, Arlan Dennis Hall & wife Ann of Oak Grove, Missouri and Jay De Hall of Red Cloud, Nebraska; grandchildren, Phillip Mullis, Norman (Penny) Mullis, all of Ten Sleep, Wyoming, Aron Mullis of Worland, Wyoming; John Hall (Jamie) Hall and Rowena (Billy) Stone all of Springfield, Missouri; sister, Eleanor Casteel, of Scottsbluff, Nebraska; brother-In-Law, Bob & wife JoAnn Hall of Beaver City, Nebraska and a host of family and friends.
