FROM: Find A Grave contributor #51612660:
Charles Francis Adams Hall was born in Patten, Maine, on June 22, 1877, the younger child of Harrison E. Hall, a lifetime farmer, and his wife Lucinda M. Sibley. (Lucinda was actually Harrison's second wife, so Charles became the youngest in a family with nine children, plus at least one who had died young. Charles's oldest half-brother was 30 years older than he.)
By 1900 (census), Charles was the only child still "at home," working on his father's farm. He lived with both parents, and his wife and their first three children. Charles had married Annie Kate Bowie in 1895, and they continued living on his parents' farm until Harrison's death in 1905. By that point they had five children (Ola, Merle, Wilma, Roy, and Roland), all born in Patten, ME.
After his father's death, Charles and Annie Kate, plus the five children and Charles's mother Lucinda, moved to East Bridgewater, Massachusetts. Charles's half brother Bion Bradford Hall had moved to East Bridgewater a few years earlier, so they were moving close to family, and his sister Edith (his only full-sibling) was living in Boston.
Settling on West Street, right in the heart of Elmwood Village in the southern part of East Bridgewater, Charles and Annie Kate added three more children over the next few years (Bion, Lawrence, and Florina). The first Massachusetts child was born Aug. 11, 1907, and they named him Bion Bradford Hall, presumably after Charles's half-brother who had died in East Bridgewater just three months earlier.
Their house was in the long block between the Elmwood Cemetery and the intersection at Bedford Street where Flagg's Store (formerly Churchill's Store) and the Elmwood Post Office were located. Charles was working as a carpenter. Unfortunately, they were missed by the census taker in 1920, so some information has been lost.
Annie Kate died in 1917 and was buried just down the road in the Elmwood Cemetery. Seven years later, Saba Churchill Benson, a close neighbor on West Street, lost her husband. Saba and Charles married (sometime between 1924 and 1930), and Charles's family—including Lucinda—moved into Saba's house.
By 1930, the family was living at 97 West Street: Charles, Saba, four of Charles's children, and Lucinda. At that time, Charles was working as a stock clerk in the cotton gin factory (one of East Bridgewater's large industries), Wilma was a registered nurse, young Bion was an assistant undertaker, Lawrence wasn't working, and Florina was an office clerk in the shoe factory (East Bridgewater's other large industry). Lucinda died in 1932 and the children gradually moved on.
By 1940, Wilma had moved out and back in again, this time with her husband Lester Locke and three children. Lester was listed as head, and Charles and Saba were father- and mother-in-law.
Saba died on West Street in 1947. She is buried with her parents in the Elmwood Cemetery. Charles died in 1948 and is buried with his first wife Annie Kate, also in the Elmwood Cemetery.
Charles and Annie Kate had eight children, born in Patten, ME and East Bridgewater, MA. After Annie Kate's death, Saba raised the children as their stepmother:
√ Ola E., born in Maine
• Merle H., born in Maine ca. 1897/98 (not yet located on Findagrave)
√ Wilma E., born in Maine
• Roy C., born in Maine ca. 1901/02 (not yet located on Findagrave)
√ Roland B., born in Maine
√ Bion B., 2, born in Mass.
√ Lawrence E., born in Mass.
• Florina J., born in Mass. ca. 1911/12 (not yet located on Findagrave)
