Mr. Park Hall
Is Dead As Result of Auto Accident
Circulation Manager of The Journal and Leader in Civic Affairs
An illness of three weeks Friday morning proved fatal to Mr. Park H. Hall, circulation manager of The Atlanta Journal and Druid Hills civic leader.
The circulation manager, one of the south’s leaders in his field, suffered a fractured arm and severe body bruises in a collision between an automobile and a street car at Little Five Points. Complications resulted from a chest injury, and when pneumonia set in, the attack proved too much for his weakened condition.
Funeral arrangements will be conducted at Springs Hill Sunday at 4 p.m. Dr. Louie D. Newton will officiate, and burial will be in West View Cemetery, with Gate City Lodge, No. 2, F. & A. M., in charge of services at the grave. A delegation of Elks will form an escort of honor.
Mr. Hall was 46 years of age, and had been in The Journal employ for thirty-five years, starting at the bottom as a carrier boy, and by dint of conscientious application and genuine qualities of leadership, working his way up to the post of circulation manager.
In 1900 at the age of 12, he became a journal carrier, within a year he was promoted to the post of inspector. Soon he won another promotion which took him to the mailing room. After a few months, there he was brought into the circulation office.
In 1906 he took charge of the mailing lists. Four years later he became city circulation manager, and in 1932, with the passing of Mr. John D. Simmons, Mr. Hall became general circulation manager.
The fact that he had successfully filled virtually every post connected with the circulation department made the veteran an expert in his field. In tribute to his leadership, the Southern Circulation Managers’ Association had named him a director, which position he held at the time of his death.
Mr. Hall resided on North Druid Hills Road, and played a prominent part in civic affairs of his community. In 1930, the North Druid Hills Civic League elected him president. He was well known in fraternal circles as an Elk and a Mason.
Surviving him are his wife; a daughter, Miss Catherine; two sons, Edward and Park Hall, Jr; a sister, Mrs. Joe Thompson, who resides in Hawkinsville, Ga; a niece, Miss Betty Hall, of Washington D. C. and an uncle, Andrew Waters, of The Journal mailing department.
(Catherine was his step-daughter and Edward was his step-son.)
