General Notes: Husband - Rev. David Hall, D.D.
He was reared on a farm until he was sixteen years of age. He received his elementary education in the subscription schools, attended Kittanning academy and at sixteen years of age entered Jefferson college, at Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, from which institution he was graduated with honors on March 30, 1850. Leaving college, he served for eighteen months as assistant principal of the Witherspoon institute, a presbyterian academy at Butler, Pennsylvania. At the end of this time he resolved to devote his life to the cause of Christianity and entered the Western Theological seminary, of Allegheny, to prepare for the work of the ministry. After three years of hard and profitable study, he was graduated May, 1854, with high standing in his class. In the mean time, June 20, 1854, he was licensed by the presbytery of Allegheny, but wishing to be thoroughly prepared for his work, he went, after his graduation at Allegheny, to Princeton Theological seminary, where he spent one year as a resident graduate and took the post-graduate course of that institution. Returning from Princeton, he was called as co-pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Columbus, Ohio, serving with Rev. Dr. James Hoge. He remained there about one year, then accepted a call from his native county and was ordained and installed by the Presbytery of Allegheny on November 5, 1856, of Armstrong County. His pastorate of these two churches was a very pleasant and successful one and extended over a period of eleven years. It terminated in 1867, when he became pastor of the Presbyterian church of Mansfield, Ohio, where he labored with acceptance and good resuits until 1874. On June 30th of that year he was installed as pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Indiana, Pennsylvania, which he served for many years. In 1858 Jefferson college conferred the degree of D.D. upon him for his ability, learning and valuable services in the ministry. In 1857 he was elected at Jefferson college as professor of Latin and Literature, and in 1858 he served as a member of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, held in New Orleans. In political matters Dr. Hall was a democrat from principle.
He attended an academy at Kittanning, Pennsylvania, under the direction of Rev. Dr. Joseph Painter, and Jefferson College, Canonsburg, Washington County, graduating from the latter in the class of 1850. He took a theological course in the Western Theological Seminary in Allegheny City, graduating in 1854, and a postgraduate course in Princeton Theological Seminary in 1854-5. He was principal of the Witherspoon Institute, a Presbyterial academy in Butler, in 1850-51; was elected a professor of the Latin language and literature in Jefferson College in 1857, and served as a member of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church at New Orleans in 1858.
He was licensed by the Presbytery of Allegheny, June 20, 1854, and was co-pastor with Rev. Dr. James Hoge, of the First Presbyterian Church, of Columbus, Ohio, in 1855-56. He was ordained by the Presbytery of Allegheny, November 5, 1856; was pastor of the church of Union and Bradley's Bend, Armstrong County, from 1856 to 1867; First Presbyterian Church, Mansfield, Ohio, 1867 to 1874, and removed to Indiana, Pennsylvania, in May, 1874.
