Services Are Held For Livingston Man
LIVINGSTON, Feb. 3.--Funeral services for John Wilde Hall, 81, of Livingston were conducted in the Winton Cemetery Friday morning by Dr. John R. Kenney of Merced. Pallbearers were: W. E. Rasor, Charles A. Ottmann, C. R. DAvis, W. C. Law, C. P. Hockett and Carl Vieker.
Hall died of a heart attack in his home south of Livingston early Tuesday evening. He leaves a widow, Mrs. Martha Caldona Hall; two daughters, Mrs. Aileen Cronkite of San Jose and Mrs. Marjorie Wucher of Livingston, and four grandchildren, Jean, Shirley and Jackie Cronkite and Doris Wucher.
Born in Deposit, N. Y., December 4, 1859, Hall came to California when 4 years old with his mother, Mrs. Julia Wilde Hall, to join his father in Mendocino County. They traveled to the Isthmus of Panama by boat and crossed to the Pacific Coast, walking part of the thirty miles, and then completed the journey by boat. He was reared and educated in Mendocino County and raised seeds on an extensive scale for seed companies until he came with his family to Livingston in 1908.
Hall was engaged in fruit farming here until he retired a few years ago. Active in community work, he was chairman of the Livingston Farm Bureau Center shortly after it was organized and filled the unexpired term of Judge J. N. Hitchcock, who died in the early 20's, serving as justice of the peace for two years.
