General Notes: Husband - Amos Hall
He grew to manhood in Clay Township, Butler County, PA, attended the country schools and engaged in farming until he enlisted for service in the Civil War. In May, 1862, he entered Company F, One Hundred Thirty-fourth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and served in the Army of the Potomac for a period that covered ten months, during this time taking part in the battle of Chancellorsville. He was a brave and cheerful soldier, performing every required duty and was honorably discharged and mustered out at Harrisburg. He then went to work at the carpenter trade at Franklin, Pennsylvania, and after his marriage, in 1868, he settled for a year on his father-in-law's farm in Clay Township. From there he returned to the old homestead, where he remained for twenty years and then went to Branchton. He still owned 100 acres of that part of the old farm lying in Clay Township.
In April, 1889, Mr. Hall opened a general store at Branchton, which he conducted thereafter, with the exception of three years, when W. J. Hindman was proprietor, Mr. Hall leasing his building for that time and selling his stock. At the end of the lease, Mr. Hall re-entered business, and in August, 1903, he erected a substantial cement block, a two-story building, 22 by 60 feet in dimensions, where he carried a very large stock of selected goods, bought with the view of meeting the wants of the surrounding country from which came a heavy trade. For four years he was postmaster of the village. He owned a handsome residence and other improved property.
