WILLIAM J. HALL, Sr. DIED IN BALTIMORE
Succumbed At Union Memorial Hospital Saturday
BURIED IN ST. PAUL'S CEMETERY ON MONDAY

William J. Hall, Sr., prominent Pocomoke City resident, passed away on Saturday last at the Union Memorial Hospital, Baltimore, where he had been a patient for only two days. Death was due to complications.

The son of the late Henry Hall and Clara Whittington Hall, prominent pioneer residents of the Marion section, Mr. Hall was seventy-six years of age at his death and had a legion of warm friends who were greatly grieved at his passing.

During his lifetime Mr. Hall had been a prominent farmer, mill operator and race horse owner. He had owned a number of fast race horses, one of the last of which was the famed General Mack, in his day one of the fleetest horses in the country. He was a staunch Republican and was prominent in politics in this section.

Mr. Hall's many sterling traits of character were well-known to his numerous friends whose hearts are made heavy by the loss of one so near and dear to them. He was a conscientious, upright citizen and was loved by all with whom he came into contact.

Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Gussie Haynes Hall, three daughters, Mrs. Earl Parsons, of Marion, Mrs. Victor Holt, of Marklesburg, Pa. and Miss Elizabeth Hall, of Crisfield, and two sons, William Hall, Jr. and Louis Hall, both of Marion.

Five sisters, Mrs. Gertrude Holland and Mrs. L. T. Miles, of Marion, Mrs. Clara Speights, of Revelles Neck and Mrs. Jennie Robinson and Mrs. Ethel Clayton, of Augusta, Ga., and a brother, Henry Hall, of Marion, also survive.

Funeral services were held from the home in Pocomoke at 2.00 o'clock Monday afternoon and were conducted by the Rev. E. L. Bunce, of Baltimore, a former pastor at both Marion and Pocomoke City.

Interment was in St. Paul's cemetery.
