Candis Miller Hall was born in Barren county, Ky., Dec. 16, 1843. Her parents, John and Parmelia Miller, removed to Monmouth when she was about two years old. Her father died when she was quite young. She lived with her mother in Monmouth until Sept. 8, 1859, when she was united in marriage to Michael W. Hall. They made their home in Warren County, where they have resided together ever since, until Mr. Hall's death on Feb. 3, 1894, just ten months previous to Mrs. Hall's death. To them were born eight children: Edsom, who died at 6 years of age, Frank L., George C., Addie B Bruington, Ella M., James B., Zoa M. and Ward E., the youngest child being now nine years old. All the children are living in Warren county.
She united with the Christian church at Talbot creek in 1863 under the preaching of Smith Wallace. She died at the home of her daughter, Addie Bruington, on Dec. 3, 1894 at about 4:30 p. m. of apoplexy, having been in her usual health up to the time of her death. For several days past Mrs. Hall had been staying with her daughter, who has been ill, and was able to assist in the household duties. Shortly after 4 o'clock Monday evening she went to an ash pile near the house to get some ashes to be used in scouring knives. She was seated on a box sifting the ashes when she was seized with an attack of apoplexy and died shortly afterwards, falling foremost off the box. Directly afterwards her daughter asked for her, and sent her husband out to find her. She was found by him lying near the ash pile in the position in which she had fallen from her seat.
The snddenness of her death was a great shock to the family, who only a few minutes before had seen her evidently in good health.
Funeral services were held Wednesday, at 2 p. m., at her late home, conducted by her pastor, Brother A. M. Hale, in the presence of a large concourse of relatives and friends who came to express their sympathy. The reading of the scripture was from the 14th chapter of St. John. The services throughout were beautiful. The singing was rendered by young people from the Christian church. Over the casket were placed many beautiful flowers besides a beautiful pillow of flowers which formed the letters of the word Mother. The closing song, "God be with you till we meet again" was a very touching one.
The parting scenes were truly tender and then the long funeral procession moved its way to the Mosier cemetery where she was peacefully laid to rest to await the resurrection morn.
