MARY ELIZABETH HALL
June 13, 1846 - March 30, 1921

In her usual health, going from her home in 'Washington, Indiana, to
Russell, Iowa to visit a lifelong friend, died in the station of Burlington
at 5:20 a. m.

never made a sound." was the brief message received.

She was the daughter of Rev. Ephraim and Sarah Edmondson Hall of
Ellettsville, coming to Washington in 1859 where practically her entire
life was spent. Affiliated in childhood with the Cumberland Presbyterian

character, devoted to her church, friends and duty. For nearly 30 years a
bookkeeper in the Washington National Bank, she was well known in the
community.

author, Marianne Farningham, in 1905, in reply to her inquiry concerning
