General Notes: Husband - Adolphus M. Hall


After receiving a common school education, and six weeks before he was sixteen years of age, he enlisted in Company F, Eighty-third Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and served to the close of the war, being discharged at the general muster. His father enlisted in the same company at the same time. After his return home, he engaged for one year in farming, and then entered the employment of Thorp & Reynolds as book-keeper, remaining with them one year. In July, 1866, he formed a partnership with his father, purchasing the property then known as the “Crawford House,” at Guy's Mills, and opened a grocery store under the firm name of D. T. Hall & Son. The following spring they bought the general merchandise stock of Radle Bros., and in 1872 the firm became Hall & Sons, Homer Hall being taken into the partnership. In 1873 they built the store now occupied by K. S. Smith, and two years later the father retired, and the firm became A. M. Hall & Bro., continuing thus until 1879, when the firm dissolved and our sub­ject erected another building, branching into business for himself. His stock consisted of general merchandise, with the addition of drugs and fur­niture, and he dealt also extensively in lumber and shingles. From a poor man with but a few dollars, and only business ability to recommend him, he gradually developed a large and prosperous business.
