Samuel Q. Hall, farmer, Ladoga, son of Bainbridge and Polly (Nichols) Hall, was born September 8, 1828, in Shelby county, Kentucky. He came while very young, accompanied by his parents, to Montgomery county, and since his arrival has lived here, with the exception of about nine months in 1856, which he spent in Iowa. He owns 190 acres, for 110 of which he paid his father $100, and for 80 which he subsequently purchased he paid $1,600. His land comprises the E. 1/2 of S.E. 1/4 Sec. 32 and 30 acres of the south end of E. 1/2 of N.E. 1/2 Sec. 32; also the E. 1/2 of S.E. 1/4 Sec, 32.
Mr. Hall was married September 8, 1857, to Martha Hall, of Monroe county, Indiana. She was born February 1, 1830.
They have four children: Mary E., Anderson X. Amanda F. and Benjamin H.
Mr. Hall is a thorough republican and a successful farmer. He looks back to the time when his mother chopped the frozen meal from the sack just brought from the distant mill by his brothers, and mixed it with water, then baked and gave it him and the others to eat. Those were early times and he notes the change.
