Walter Hall has no middle name that I know of, and he is buried right next to Robert Murphy (his dad) I always thought that he did not marry, but his death cert. says he married a Florence Wyatt. They divorced. I don't know that he had any children..... but there is always a chance. I know that he was military, in WWI, and died the day of his second draft physical, but I don't have his social, so I cannot send off for his records... I do know that for the seven years up to his death, he worked at the Madison Glue Factory. Anyone with more info, I would love it!! Thanks so much!!!

Walter was also born in Vevay, Indiana and is listed on his birth certificate as an unknown hall because Adeline and Robert Murphy had not named him yet.

His death cert says that he was born on the 18th, but his birth cert says the 25th. It is in fact the 25th of November. Vail's Funeral Home buried him, his primary cause of death was Aplastic Anemia, Laura E. Hall Haak (his sister) was the one who handled the arrangements. He does not have a military marker, but I am not sure why.
