"Another of our oldest citizens has passed to other Great Beyond. He has braved the years down the western slope beyond man's allotted destination for lo, these 20 years and more, having reached the age of 92 years, 2 months and 16 days. He was the son of Frost Underlin and Maria Hall and was born in Indiana on June 19, 1827.
Mr. Levi M. Hall learned the trade of blacksmith and in the early days shod horses that drew the stage coaches over the route from Covington, Ind., to Johnson's Tavern.
He was three times married: in 1846 to Rachel Hollingsworth; in 1855 to Mary Darling and on October 12, 1876 to Mary Frances Patterson, who for nearly 43 years has been an efficient and devoted helpmeet and survives him.
The surviving children are Calvin Jenks Hall, of Bond County, Ill.; Mrs. Persis A. Bell, of Los Angeles, Calif.; Carey B. Hall, Danville, Ill., Adah M. Beazley, Dennison, Texas and Laura A., of Danville.
Mr. Hall arrived in the old town of Homer in October 1846 when all there was of the village was located by the creek near where Homer Park now is. For over 70 years he has resided in this community and has noted with an active interest all its varied changes. For many years he has been an active member of this Methodist church. He was always a Republican.
