An intimate sketch of his characteristics is told as follows:
John Hall
I know a man they call John Hall,
He is big and strong and six feet tall;
He works awful hard, both summer and fall,
His neighbors say, "He don't stop at all".
He goes to bed, sometimes after dark,
In the morning he's up and out with the Lark,
As far as you can hear the dog bark.
In the winter you meet him everyday,
coming to town on a load of hay;
He has good teams, either black or bay.
I have never seen him drive a gray.
He feeds his horses, his cows and pup,
An then he goes in, and takes a sup of coffee,
Then a whole big cup,
Before he goes out to load his hay up.
Now John has neither Deciet or Guile,
He always wears on his face, a smile,
He's sharp, as any three cornered file,
When he sees a bargin he thinks worthwhile.
I kind o'like John he always makes
A lot of fun, when my hand he shakes,
An I'm not surprised if someone takes
Us to be a couple of Country Jakes.
John likes to have fun, and so do I.
An we'd just as well laugh, as stand and cry,
For the times is coming by and by
When fun will cease, for John and I.
The Hymns "Beautiful Isle", "What a Friend We Have In Jesus", "Shall We Gather at the River?" and "Asleep in Jesus" were sung by J. Wyatt, Mrs. Everett Henson, Mrs. Chas. Gardner, Earl Konantz, accompainied by Mrs. Ben Harper. The interment was made in Centerville Cememtery. The Funeral procession of cars was several miles long.
