month

The following communication was sent
us by one of the "oldest inhabitants J"
of the present day, resident of Cavendish,
and a neighbor of the subject concern
ing whom the obituary notice was writ
ten In our own boyhood we remember
apt Hall of the Borough, as one of the
institutions, so to speak, of the Twenty
mile stream neighborhood, and we are
glad to hear from our correspondent, who
can tell us from personal Recollection Of
the father even of SO old a man as died
there on the Sd inst:
The death of james w. Hall took
place at his residence in Cavendish the
Sd of April, at the advanced age of IS
years, eight months and eighteen days.
He was native of Cavendish, his faith
err coming into the town at very early
settlement of the country. All who re-
member his father cannot have forgotten
his noble bearing and appearance. He
was an Englishman by birth, was sent
here as a British soldier to fight in the
revolu ion for King George the Ill,
but as soon as opportunity offered, left
King Georges service like many others,
and became a citizen of the United States.
After his son became of age, they bought
farm in Reading and moved there,
where he lived untilthe infirmities Of age
admonished him that his work was done,
when he sold out his property there and
boughta house in Cavendish, where he re-
sided until his death. His wife died some
years ago at an advanced age. They liv-
ed together fifty five years and left three
daughters the youngest of whom new
err married, took the kindest care of him
in health and sickness. The relation
that existed between this daughter Mary
and him cannot be too highly admired.
She devoted her whole being to make
her father and mother comfortable and
happy. His advanced age and clear in
tellect made him sort of encyclopedia
for those who wished historic facts that
transpired in the early settlement Of our
country. His opportunity Of an edu-
cation was very limited, and it is won.
derful how well informed he was on al.
most all subjects of the day.
Capt Hall was an honest man, a man
who wanted his own but would rather
suffer than distress one in need. HI
married a daughter of Benjamin Saw
yer of Reading, who was sister of DR.
Sawyer of Tufts College. Mr.. Benja
min Sawyer his brother -in-law, died tn,
next day at his son-in-law's, III. Whit
more's in Springfield.
