This George Hall is not related to me at all. He is entered into my database only to help distinguish his descendants from those of my great-grandfather, who was also named George W. Hall.
His obituary in the Rowan County News of Jan 8, 1948, read "Funeral services for G. W. Hall, 95, who died Thursday, Jan. 1, were held Friday at the Cranston Baptist Church. Services were conducted by Rev. Floyd Hall and Rev. Abel Tackett with burial in the Cranston Cemetery. Pall bearers were his grandsons. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hall, he was born in Pike County on July 22, 1852. In 1870 he married Elizabeth Tackett. To this union were born six children, four of whom preceded him in death. Living children by this marriage are Wilburn Hall of Morehead and Frank Hall, Olive Hill. In 1880 Elizabeth Hall died and in 1882 he was married to Alice Osborn Branham. To this last marriage were born five sons and two daughters, Allard Hall, Morehead, Alney Hall, Ramage, W. Va., Hatler Hall, Pine Ridge, Bernie Hall, Fanny Mullins and Minnie Hall of Los Angeles, California, and Dennis Hall, Shelby, Ohio. Also surviving are 44 grandchildren, 75 great grandchildren and seven great-great-grandchildren. The Lane Funeral Home was in charge of the arrangements." |
