Benjamin F. Hall - “The Osceola Democrat”, Thursday, 26 JUL 1900
“Benjamin F. Hall, a citizen of Greenbay Township since 1859, died Monday, July 22, at 8:00 a.m. after a three weeks' illness with carbuncle which at last created a pressure on the nerves and brain inducing coma and death. He was sixty six years of age and had been an active and prominent citizen of the township until recent years, when his unusual weight combined with rheumatism had forced him to remain inactive. He leaves his wife and two sons and a daughter with many friends made in the course of an honorable and honored life. He belonged to the Christian church and Rev. Dyer of the denomination came from Decatur County and conducted the funeral services at his home Tuesday at 11 a.m. The funeral was a very large one, friends coming from Leon and other points at a distance to show their respect for the deceased. The burial was in Greenbay Cemetery where his father and other relatives are lying. Thus closes the record of another of Clarke County's rugged, worthy pioneers who reaped a good material reward for his labors and now enters into rest."
