OBITUARY ---------------

ELLEN F. HALL

Redwood City Standard

Aug. 25. 1927

Pioneer passes.

In the death of Mrs. Ellen Frances Hall Tuesday aternoon, Redwood City lost another of her best known and highly esteemed pioneer residents. Mrs. Hall passed away peacefully at her home, 619 Stambaugh Street surrounded by the members of her family. She had been an invalid for nearly a year, her death being largely the result of injuries received in a fall at her home in September last.

Mrs. Hall was a native of New York City and was 77 years of age. She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Elizabeth McEvoy and Mrs. Emma Lelande of this city, two Sons John (captain) Hall of Belmont and George Hall of Fort Bragg, and one grandson, Barnard Lelande of Oakland. She was the sister of Mrs. John Valentine of New York City and the late Mrs. J.F. Franz of Crescent City, California.

Mrs. Hall’s husband, the late Sam Hall was a pioneer mining man of California, he having come across the plains in the gold rush days. He followed mining for many years and later became a house moving contractor in Redwood. He passed away a number of years ago.

Mrs. Hall came to San Francisco when she was 10 years old with her older sister, Mrs. Frantz. She moved to Redwood City when she was 16 and made her home here ever since. Mrs. Hall was a woman of sweet and lovable ways who found her happiness in the happiness of others and in bringing comfort and cheer to those in need and distress. Her passing will be mourned by many friends through out the community.

Funeral services will be held this afternoon at 1 o’clock from the chapel of Jas. Crowe. Interment will be in Union Ccnietcry along side of the remains of her late husband. Lot 135
