Death of ArtH1ss' ID. Hal.

with the weight of more than four score
years and to-day the sad and melancholy
duty is assigned us of chronicl;ng the
demise Of one stricken down in the full
vigor of youth before reaching the age of
two score years. Arthur d. Hall, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Hail. died Satur
day morning last, September 8, 1888, at
his home in the First ward, Of apoplexy,
in the 28th year of his age. No death
ever occurring here had more startling
effect on the community, as it was known
that only a comparatively few hours be
fore his demise Mr.. Hall was in the en-
ioyment of robust health. After partaS
ing of his dinner Friday and evil
IDENTITY as we'll az usual, he repaired to the
lawn to oversee the cutting of the grass,
but in a short time returned to the house
and going to his room threw himselfupon
the lounge complaining to his wife that
he was suffering from an intense pain in
his forehead Mrs. Hall apprised
his father and mother OF his condition
and by the time the father could reach
his side Arthur was apparently uncon-
scious with bis eyes fixed and open.
Medical assistance was at once secured
and everything done for the restoration
of the patient, but all to no purpose for
the memorable summons had come and at
2 o'clock his spirit took its flight for the
world beyond, twelve hours from the time
he was first stricken. Deceased was born
in this city February 10, 1856. lie re
ceived the usual course of instruction in
the public schools and subsequently en-
tered the State University, at Madison,
remaining in this institution of learning
for about two years when he returned to
his home here and entered his father s
Office to study law Pursuing his studies
with diligence and care in due time he
was admitted to the bar and continued in
the office of Hall & Skinner up to the
time of his death. Less than four years
ago Mr.. Hall was married to Miss Josie
Reubhausen, of this city, and a little
daughter, not yet two years old, is the fruit
of this union. The wife and little one
thus bereaved of a kind husband and in
dulgent father, together with the parents
of the deceased who are called upon to
part with their only child, in whom was
conferred so much love, hope and affection,
have indeed the warm and active sym
pathy Of the entire community in their
great trial. Kind aud courteous in his
bearing towards all, yet immovabIe in
the maintenance Of right, possessed OF a
character unblemished, his memory will
ever be fondly cherished by our people
among whom he was born, reared and
died. The funeral of Mr.. Hall was held
from his late home Monday afternoon at
| 2 o'clock, Rev. J. NJ. Campbell, Of the
Congregational Church, speaking the
words of consolation on the occasion.
The large attendance of our citizens pres.
ent testified to the great respect the de
ceased was held in by all classes in oul
midst. His body rests in Oak Hill enc
terv beside loved little one gone before.
Greene's FIGURING lLjU Burned
The Touring mill Of Messrs. n. S
Greene & Son at Milford, was totally de
stroyed by fire early last Saturday morn
ing. There were some 5000 bushels O
grain stored in the building at the time
very little cf which will be saved. A
to the origin of the fire stories, are con
ficting. Some reports are TO the effec
that the fire originated in a wood pile
outside and communicated to the mill
while other statements are made that the
flames were first seen on the inside Of the
building. It is stated that the mill haC
commenced running day times only {
few days before the FIRE. The destruction
Of the mill is not only a heavy blow t
Greene & Son, but a great calamity t.
the village of Milford and the surround
ing country. It is uncertain as ye
whether the mill will be rebuilt Or not
