William Hall Dies Suddenly
William Hall, a well-known rancher, residing for many years about two miles below Lewistown, died suddenly Monday morning at 10:30 o'clock. His serious condition was not realized until shortly before his death and medical aid did not reach him, though it is hardly probable that skill would have altered the result. Dr. Long, who was called, gives the cause of death as heart failure.
Mr. Hall was born in Little Drieffeld, England, in 1851, and came to Fort Benton in 1881, moving to Spring Creek the following year where he has since resided. He leaves a wife, two grown sons, George and Arthur, and six smaller children. Two of his boys, George and Fred, were members of Company I, and the remains of the latter, who fell in the Philippines, are expected home shortly for interment.
For years past the deceased has experienced a great deal of trouble; continuous sickness and the death of several children, followed by the death of his wife, wore greatly upon him and were costly alike to health and purse. His second marriage was not entirely happy and this served to promote despondency. Then the death of his boy in the army added to the trials, and, taken altogether, it is hardly surprising that he should have abandoned hope. Respected by all for his honesty and worth, friends have naught but sorrow for the sad ending and sympathy for the bereaved family. The funeral will be held this afternoon with Rev. Pfaus officiating.
