Mrs. Sallie Isabel Hall died at 821 North First street on the 23rd of last month, of a complication of diseases. Burial at Oak Hill.
∼Sallie I. Hall, colored, wife of Will Hall, who works at the Wolters brick yard, died this morning and the funeral will occur Sunday at 2 pm, from the Sixth street Baptist church. Mrs. Hall was only thirty-four years of age, but had given birth to fourteen children within the past sixteen years. All had died at birth but three girls and a boy, who survive their mother. The oldest is sixteen and the youngest is two. A baby was born a week ago. Think of the suffering, think of the tragedy crowded into one brief life! Every year there has been a birth and a death at the house, and this year there have been four deaths: an uncle at Christmas, a sister of Will Hall a few weeks ago, the baby a week ago, and now the mother. The family lives in the alley east of second street and adjoining Mound.
