HALL.
Joseph Hall, for many years highly
esteemed citizen Of Barnett township,
died at his home at Redclyfie, Pa,
Wednesday night October 81, 1908. He
was born in Butler county, Pa, May %,
1916, and was son of Cornelius and Su-
san Hall, deceased. Joseph was reared
and educated in Buffer county, and came
to Forest county in 1865, settling at Red
clyffe, where he followed numbering and
farming, and where in 1867, he was unit
ed in marriage with Miss Harriet Huling,
who survives him. Seven children
blessed this union, and all are living ex-
cept one daughter.
Mr.. Hall was an industrious, energetic
Christian gentleman, who was held in
great esteem in the community in which
he spent the greater portion of his life.
Socially he was a pleasant, companion
able man with whom 1t was pleasure to
meet and converse. During his life time
he had held nearly all the offices of trust
in his township, always discharging his
duties with fidelity and honor. From
early manhood he was a member of the
United Brethren church and his faith in
the Christian religion never wavered.
For upward of year his health had failed
and about two months ago a stroke OF
paralysis prostrated him and he was not
again able to leave his bed.
Funeral services, conducted by Bev. j.
r. Miller, were held on Saturday morn
ing, with interment in the cemetery at
Redclyffe.
With many friends the REPUBLICAN
regrets very greatly to learn of the death
of Joseph b. Erb, ofWest Hickory, which
occurred on Saturday evening last at $3.50
o'clock, at Kane, Pa, where he had gone
a short time ago to visit James Mont
gomery, relative, and at whose home he
died. The cause was pneumonia, and his
illness was of but few days duration.
Mr. Erb was aged s5 years, being born,
we believe in Center county, this State,
where he resided mcst of his life. Thirty
years or more ago he came TO the oil re-
gions of this section, and had been more
or less connected with that industry ever
since. Besides his son, Grant, well
known to the people of this community,
and who is now at Bridgeport, ILL.,, ne is
survived by another son living in Kan
sas City, and daughter residing in Salt
Lake City. For the past IS or 20 years
the deceased had made his home at West
Hickory, near which place he was inter-
ested in an oil lease. His frequent visits
to 1ionesta made him a we'll known fig
ure here where he had many friends.
Possessed of remarkable memory. and
having been great reader before his
sight failed him, he was a veritable store
house of information, making him very
interesting onversationalist. and his
visits to the REPUBLICAN office will be
greatly missed. We are without partic-
ulars as to funeral arrangements, but
understand the remains will be buried at
Pine Grove Mills, Center county, beside
those of his wife, who preceded him in
death many years.
