EDWARD HALL'S DEATH
The Homer Enterprise. Thursday, September 8, 1898.
The well known citizen, Edward Hall, who had been quite feeble for several months, died at his home in this place Monday morning, aged 65 years. The deceased had been a prominent and influential citizen of Homer for many years, having served the people in several positions of trust at different times. Of late years the ravages of time and disease had retired him from active service.
Edward Hall was born in Lawrence county, O., April 18, 1833. He moved to Warren county, Ind., when but a child. He came to Homer in 1858. He was married to Sarah A. Yeazel, in this place, Oct. 1, 1861. There were born to them three sons and one daughter. The sons, F. S., &. Z., and Charles, are residents of Danville, and the daughter is Mrs. J. H. Umbenhower, of this township.
The deceased was one of the oldest and most influential members of Homer lodge, No. 252, I. O. O. F., joining the order here in 1858. When the war of the rebellion broke out he entered the service of his country as second lieutenant of Co. C. 25th Ill. Vols. Later he was promoted to first lieutenant, serving three years and three months. He participated in many of the hardest battles of the war and was wounded in the right arm at the battle of Chickamauga; while in the service he contracted chronic diarrhea and rheumatics, from the effects of which he never fully recovered. No one could ever question Edward Hall's loyalty. He was a faithful old soldier and ever ready to fight for the cause of his country.
The deceased leaves a wife, four grown children, two brothers and fire half sisters to mourn his death. The brothers are H. B., of Homer, and Fidelia, of Lohrville, IA. Three of the sisters live in Danville, one in Indiana and one in the State of Washington.
Short services were held at the family home yesterday by Elder C. H. Berry, after which the remains were laid to rest in the family lot at G. A. R. cemetery. At the cemetery the services were conducted according to the ritualistic ceremony of the Odd Fellows' order.
