father. He continued in that bust

many years it was the largest business
of the kind in the State.

January 221, 1893, by the death Of the

good work. He furnished honey to
many families in both towns. A few
days ago he made his friend, Mr.. j. Q.

bees.
During lis life Mr.. Hall took great
interest in gathering collections OF
