General Notes: Husband - Rev. William Maclay Hall

---

He was educated at the Harrisburg Academy and Princeton College; studied law with Francis R. Shunk, and admitted to the Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, bar at the April term, 1822. He began the practice of law at Lewistown, and became one of the most brilliant advocates in the Juniata Valley. Subsequently, imbued with the conviction that it was his duty to enter the ministry, he abandoned the law, studied theology at the Allegheny Seminary, and was licensed to preach by the Pittsburgh Presbytery. He was stationed at Milroy, Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, but, owing to partial failure of health, was appointed agent of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions at Philadelphia. At this period he was connected with the New School Assembly, but afterwards transferred his relations to the Old School and joined the Presbytery of Carlisle. After acting some years as agent of the General Assembly, Board of Foreign Missions, he accepted a call to the Presbyterian Church at Bedford, Pennsylvania, where he labored until declining health compelled him to relinquish his charge. He died at Bedford, where he was interred, but in 1878 his remains were removed to the cemetery at Harrisburg.
