- Death Notice, in Cambridge City Tribune. (Cambridge City, Indiana)
6 Apr 1905.
A Former Citizen: The sudden and untimely death of John W. HALL, Monday morning at his home in Dublin, cast a shadow of gloom over this city where at the head of the Hall Mercantile Co. he had been in business for the past year. He was taken sick on Thursday and sought medical advice. A consultation of physicians determined the disease as appendicitis and as a last resort an operation was performed by Dr. BOWERS on Sunday. The disease was present in it’s most virulent form and there was no hope of continuing life beyond a few hours. He accepted the situation with the philosophy of a hero, gave his family the last touch of a loving husband and father, and closed his eyes in peaceful death. No man was more respected in all walks of social and business life; his courteous and dignified manner and great natural kindness of heart, the beauty and felicity of his home life; his large and cultivated experience and practical judgment; his firm and unflinching adherence to the Golden Rule, endeared him to men and his death will be universally regretted. Mr. HALL was a native of Indiana. He was born at Red Key, Dec. 14, 1859, the second son of Thomas and Emily HALL. His early inclinations were toward mercantile life and he laid the foundation of his success by entering the trade at Portland while yet a boy. He possessed that geniality that commanded respect and it was not many years until he embarked in business fore himself, stimulated by the friends who were cognizant of his ability and worth. In Feb. 1904, he purchased the Main street opera house and converted it into a department store, which he conducted with unvarying success. At Nashville, Tenn. he married Miss Libbie BENIDICT, who survives him. They were the parents of five children, four girls and one boy, who are thus deprived early in life of an affectionate father. The remains were opened to the public at the family home in Dublin, Wednesday from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m., and many called to pay the last tribute. The business men of Cambridge City went in a body and also contributed a beautiful floral piece. Private services were held at the home at 2 p.m. conducted by Rev. WALTERS, of the M.E. Church of which Mr. HALL was a consistent member, after which the body was buried beside that of his father in the cemetery at Dublin.
