A Soldiers' Funeral

On Saturday, April 7th, the remains of the late Mr. Amos A. Hall, of East Randolph, was conducted to its last resting place, with all the honors due to one who fought and suffered in the cause of liberty and his country's good. Mr. Hall was a member of the Wiggins Post of the G. A. R., and also a member of the Conewango Lodge of Odd Fellows, and at the time appointed for the funeral 100 members of the Post and a large number of Odd Fellows assembled at the house on Main St., and took charge of the procession which was large and well conducted. The M. E. church, some time before the procession arrived was crowded with numerious friends who were anxious to pay their last tribute of respect to one who has long been held in high esteem among them.

The preliminary part of the service was cocnducted by the Post. Mr. Frank Champlin, of Napoli, acting as Noble Grand, and the Rev. D. R. Palmer, as chaplain. The Congregational choir officiating, Mrs. G. W. Tyler presiding at the organ. The sermon was very finely delivered by Mrs. E. S. Watson, of Jamestown, and was fully appreciated by the majority of the large audiance present. Mr. Hall was born in the town of Napoli, May 24, 1837; at the age of 7 his parents moved to Randolph, and having a family of 12 children, Amos took it upon him to take care of himself; at the age of 21 he formed the acquaintance of his present wife, Miss Frances Jones, to whom he was married Sept. 4th, 1860, and before his eldest son was 1 year old, he enlisted with three brothers, in the 9th N. Y. Cav. Co. E. under the command of Col. Sacket. He was 13 months in active service, and could relate many a sad tale of suffering of the late war. But his sad experience on Oct. 11th, 1863, he could never forget. His regiment was retreating before the rebel army between Stevensburg and Morton's Ford, when he was hit by a minnie ball in the right knee joint, which nearly threw him off his horse. Then with the useless limb hanging by his side, and the rebels in hot pursuit, he begged his comrades to leave him on the battle field to die, but encouraged by the two boys whose names are familiar tu us all, Marcus Merril and Hurbert Nutting, he took new courage, and rode 7 miles to the field hospital where his leg was amputated the same day. He was afterwards transferred to N. Y., to the U. S. general hospital, Central Park, and there remained until he was discharged, Aug. 23rd, 1864, when he returned home to his anxious family and friends, who gladly welcomed the wounded veteran's return. Mr. Hall commenced business in this town where he remained until he died April 4th, 1888. His age was 50 years, 10 months and 9 days. He carried on a successful business as a jeweler for 16 years and established a reputation that his boys four in number may be proud to attain. He was respected and loved by all; a brave soldier, a good citizen and an honest man. He leaves a wife and five children, 4 sons and one daughter, to mourn his untimely death.

A PATRIOTIC WOMAN PASSED INTO REST

Mrs. Frances C. Hall Died on Saturday Afternoon.

A RESIDENT OF THIS SECTION

During Her Entire Lifetime and was Highly Esteemed for Her Many Fine Qualities of Mind and Heart.

The last of her parents' family, Mrs. Frances C. Hall, widow of Amos A. Hall, passed into rest from her home in East Randolph Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock. Mrs. Hall had been in poor health for about a year but was able to attend to her own personal needs until about five weeks ago when she was obliged to take to her bed. Death was due to a general breaking down of the vital forces.

Frances C. Jones was the daughter of Abner P. and Lydia Seabury Jones who came to this section from New England in 1835. She was born on what is known as the Bowers place in the town of Coldspring June 1, 1842, and her entire life was spent in the vicinity of Randolph and East Randolph. On September 4, 1860, she was united in marriage with Amos A. Hall of East Randolph, who died in 1888. To this union four children were born—Fred A. Hall who died a few years ago, Lewis C. Hall of Newark, N. J., Mrs. Cora L. Stegman of Hoboken, N. J., George W. and Charles P. Hall of East Randolph.

Less than two years after her marriage Mrs. Hall was called upon to make the great sacrifice which so many brave wives and mothers made during the civil war, when her husband with three of his brothers marched away to join the nation's defenders at the scene of action. With patriotic loyalty she bore the cross thus imposed upon her and when in 1863 Mr. Hall was so seriously wounded that the amputation of a leg was necessary she went to the front and tenderly nursed him back to health and strength.

Mrs. Hall was a woman of positive character and being possessed of a strong and active mind took a lively interest in the public and social affairs of the community in which her life was passed. Her chiefest interest centered in her family but she found time and occasion to lend a helping hand to every worthy public cause and to aid the less fortunate members of the community in many ways. She was a member of Fern Leaf Rebekah lodge, the Ladies of the Maccabees and the Womans Relief Corps and an attendant of the Episcopal church although not a communicant. She will be remembered for her public spirit, her kindly helpfulness and those many virtues which are summed up in the titles of a loving wife and mother, a loyal friend and neighbor and a true woman.

The funeral was held at 2 p. m. Wednesday, from the Methodist Episcopal church in East Randolph and was largely attended. A wilderness of flowers testified to the high esteem of neighbors and friends. Rev. H. L. Dunlavy officiated and the burial was made in East Randolph cemetery. Members of the family present from away were Mr. and Mrs. Lewis C. Hall of Newark, N. J., and Mrs. Cora L. Stegman of Hoboken, N. J.
