DEATH OF GEORGE HALL OCCURS AT ELDORADO, KAS.

Remembered by Older Residents

     The news of the death of George Hall was received here Monday from Eldorado, Kas.  Mr. Hall was born here about 70 years ago, was the son of Jeremiah Hall.  He was wounded in the army and this was the cause of his death.  For many years he resided near Gibson City and Fairbury.  He later moved to Kansas.  His wife was Miss Marion McKee, a daughter of William McKee, near Oak Grove.  He will be remembered by the older residents here and at Carlock.

George Hall was my 2xg-grandfather on my mother's maternal side.  I did not know he lived near Gibson City and Fairbury!  Clues for more research.
