Decatur County Journal

August 2, l906

Wednesday of last week, July ll, l906, MRS. WALTER C. HALL died at the

home of her parents, MR. and MRS. J.C. GAMMILL, in lower Medicine

precinct.

She had been sick for a month during all of which time her indomitable

spirit, characteristic of her life, struggled with death and for a time

it seemed possible that she would recover.

Deceased was best known to the people of this county as MISS ELIZABETH

GAMMILL, having been a teacher in the county for several years and

having acted as deputy district clerk for several years. She was united

in marriage to WALTER C. HALL on March 29, l905, and they had made their

home northwest of Maywood since that time, but at the time of her

sickness she was at the home of her parents.

Funeral services were held at the Congregational Church last Thursday

afternoon, being conducted by Prof. Thomas Scott, it was probably the

largest funeral ever held in Stockville and nearly a hundred teams

followed the remains to their last resting place. It was indicative of

the respect, love and esteem in which she was held by the people of this

vicinity. For many years she was a resident of Stockville and her

strong personality won her many dear friends. She was a leader in

social affairs and an active member of the Congregational Church of

which she became a member in l902.

All of her relatives, except one sister, MRS. B.C. MOULTON, were present

in her funeral. Interment was made in the Stockville Cemetery.

To her husband, other relatives and to the little son, who is thus

compelled to go through life without the love and companionship of a

mother, the entire community extends heartfelt sympathy.

[MISS ELIZABETH GAMMILL was born in Decatur County, Iowa, May l6, l873.

Moved to Frontier County while a girl with her parents. United with the

Congregational Church in l902. Was united in marriage, March 26, l905,

to WALTER C. HALL. Died in Frontier County, Nebraska, July ll, l906]
