General Notes: Husband - William Maclay Hall

---

He received a thorough preparatory education, and graduated from Marshall College, Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, in 1846, being the valedictorian of his class. He read law with William Lyon, of Bedford, and was admitted to the bar in August, 1849. He began practice at Bedford, and soon achieved honorable distinction in his profession. In January, 1865, he was appointed by President Lincoln judge advocate with the rank of major, and served one year. In 1868 he served on a commission to revise the statutes of the State of Pennsylvania, with Judge Derrickson and Wayne MacVeagh. Upon the death of Judge King, in January, 1871, Gov. Geary of Pennsylvania appointed him president judge of the Sixteenth Judicial District, then comprising the counties of Bedford, Somerset, Franklin and Fulton, and at the October election he was elected to the same position for the term of ten years. After declining a renomination, Judge Hall quit the bench on the 1st of January, 1882. Throughout the entire term of Judge Hall, the business of the district was great, and an unusually large number of cases of importance were adjudicated. During his administration very few reversals of his decisions were made. After leaving the bench he did not actively engage in his profession.
