Kirk Hall, 81, prominent resident of Dallas fifty years and one-time city alderman, died Saturday morning at his home, 3411 Swiss avenue, following an extended illness. During his long residence here, Mr. Hall was actively engaged in various civic enterprises.
Funeral services will be held at 9:30 a. m. Monday at the residence, with interment in Oakland cemetery, where members of the Elks organization will have charge of the services.
Mr. Hall, who retired from active business about two years ago, due to ill health, was, for many years, engaged in the paving business here with the Bithulithic company.
Mr. Hall was born Dec. 15, 1849, at Gainsborough, Tenn., the son of Littleton and Nancy Thompson Hall. He came to Texas in 1887 as Southern manager for the Singer Sewing Machine company. In 1908, he became associated with the Texas Bitulithic company and later with the Central Bitulithic company, when it was organized in 1922.
Served Two Times.
During the administration of Mayor Frank P. Holland in 1895, Mr. Hall served as city alderman, and again during the Curtis P. Smith administration, the last under the old aldermanic form of government here.
In addition to other activities, Mr. Hall was well known as one of the organizers of the Toupe club, an old time society sponsored by bald-headed men of the city, with the late General Billy Patterson as the leader.
In 1870, he was married to Miss Sarah Eliza Curlin of Union, Tenn., who died here in 1897. To this union, there were born four children, the late Dr. H. C. Hall of Laredo, Texas; and three surviving daughters, Mrs. George Lauderdale, Mrs. Jack Little of Dallas, and Mrs. W. B. Kellogg of Houston.
Mr. Hall was married to Miss Leonora Pipkin of Dallas in 1901. From this union, he is survived by four daughters, Miss Helen Hall, Miss Nancy Kirk Hall of Dallas, Miss Dorothy Hall of Philadelphia, Pa., and Mrs. B. E. Simmons of Bay City, Texas. He is also survived by two brothers, G. B. Hall of Durant, Okla., and L. C. Hall of Memphis, Tenn.; two sisters, Mrs. J. H. Bryant and Mrs. Eugenia Cooper of Nashville, Tenn.; grandsons, three granddaughters and three great-grandchildren.
Daughter at Sea.
Efforts were being made Saturday morning to communicate with Mr. Hall's daughter, Miss Helen Hall, a well known Dallas musician, who sailed Sunday from the port of Houston for an extended tour of European countries. The boat on which Miss Hall sailed was delayed and it was thought possible that she would be reached during the day at New Orleans, a port of call.
Active pallbearers will be his four sons-in-law, George Lauderdale, W. B. Kellogg of Houston, Jack Little, Jr., of Dallas, and Dr. Bryan E. Simmons of Bay City, and two nephews, Clinton Underwood of Dallas and Estell Hall of Galveston.
Honorary pallbearers will be Alfred H. Johnson, C. L. Wakefield, Max Hahn, T. G. Kempster, J. B. Cozzo, Frank P. Holland, John R. Murphy, W. T. Davison, Murphy Townsend, L. Blaylock, Ed Pitman, W. B. McDowell, W. J. Atwell, George H. Pittman, W. R. Dudley, George Loudermilk, Charles A. Mangold, Tom Gooch, W. G. Crush, Mike Lively, Jim Collins, Edwin Kiest, Frank Buell, James E. Forrest, J. E.
