FINE OLD GENTLEMAN DIED LAST SATURDAY

L. L. Hall Succumber to Attack of Acute Indigestion

A PROMINENT MANUFACTURER

One of the Proprietors of Hall's Planing Mills, an Institution which did a Flourishing Business and was Counted a Leader Among local Industries.

Lyman Lee Hall, a grandson of one of the first pioneers of this section, and himself a man of advanced years, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Eva B. Blake, at 1632 Redfield street, Philadelphia, on Saturday morning of acute indigestion. The remains were brought to Randolph Wednesday and interment was made in Randolph cemetery.

Mr. Hall was son of Erastus Hall and grandson of Philemon Hall. The latter came into this section about one hundred years ago. Erastus Hall was a pioneer mill operator, having an interest in the first mills established in Coldspring or East Randolph. Lyman was the eldest son of Erastus and was born in Coldspring, April 25, 1880. He spent his life in this vicinity, only removing after he had closed his active business career, to spend his remaining days with his daughter in Philadelphia. He worked with his father in Hall's sash and door factory at East Randolph and later became a partner in the business with his brother, Milo Hall. Also he was employed several years by the Erie railroad company and worked in the shops at Randolph and other points along the road. He was a member of Hall's Band and Orchestra, a famous musical organization which was very popular through Western New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania during the early days of the oil excitement. Mr. Hall played double bass in the orchestra and was considered one of the very best performers in that instrument.

Of his father's family one brother alone survives—Milo R. Hall of East Randolph. Lyman Hall was married to Caroline Draper of Randolph on July 12, 1853; his wife died about four or five years ago and he has one daughter, Mrs. Blake, and to grandsons, E. D. Blake, city editor of the Sioux City, Iowa, Tribune, and H. H. Blake of Philadelphia.

Mr. Hall was a member of several organizations, and it is believed that at the time of his death he had been an Odd Fellow as long as any person in this state.
