acts as a physician, among the poor
of this community, during the thirty
years of his residence at this place.
Mr.. Hall was born in the State Of

in this century he settled in Warwick,
Massachusetts,, and commenced the
practice of medicine. During the
study Of his profession he had formed

Although he camo here compare

outlived a generation. During the
fret twenty-five years of his residence
here he has always engaged in some
important and prominent, business
He never was idle. His leisure mo-
nients were generally spent in pursu-
ing his favorite scientific study, and
he has, as the result Of his researches
in chemistry, discovered and made
known tho medicinal properties of
many plants, indigenous to this local
ity. His good habits enabled his nat
urally strong constitution to carry him
to the advanced age at which he died,
with still strong, clear and vigorous

lie was sick but few days, and
sank into the grave, as even the old
would wish to die, quietly, peaceably,
and with the love and esteem of all,
and the hatred Of none.
At his request he was buried with
Masonic honors on Wednesday. The
attendance of the fraternity in this
vicinity was very general, and but for
tho inclemency Of the weather, would
have been large from abroad. '''"
He stood high in that organization,
not only because Of the positions he
had held, but because Of his strict adj
herance to the tenets Of his profession.
He has been q member Of the ma
sonic fraternity over sixty years. To
him, as much as any other person, il
is indebted for its revival in this State
after the anti-masonic excitement.
The energy and great love for the in
stitution he displayed during his eff
forts to revive the order, made him
merit honor at their hands. This he
received by his electiony as Grand
Master in l841. He secured a dis
pensation for the Lebanon Lodge No.
q, the first granted in this state after
the revival. He was always strict
and worthy member of that Lodge
| and its successor, Mt. Clemens Lodge
No. 6. He was properly considered
by the frnternity, a patriarch among
them, his counsel often sought, and
his advice never unheeded. He was
long a master Of Lebanon Lodge, and
died an active member of M. Clemens
Lodge No. 8. leaoaDm A0a hE3f -
His death will long be considered a
loss to the poor because of his charity,
to the masonic fraternity because Of
his great love for IL and his many la
bors in its behalf, to this place be-
cause of the impetus II received from
his energy and business capacity, and
to all because of the absence now of
his genial good humor. Long will
he be remembered, and often quoted.
