Hall, Mary ( Baily )

Yesterday morning the sad intelligence was passed from one to another that Mrs. J. B. Hall had passed away during the early morning hours. Mrs. Hall was in apparently good health for a woman of her years, and there was nothing to indicate that her work on earth was finished. During the night she was taken suddenly ill; Dr. Koons and Hull were summoned, but human skill was unavailing, and death occurred about 12:30 0'clock in the morning. Mary Baily was born in Erie, PA., on May 5, 1839, and died in Nickerson, Kansas July 2, 1913, aged 74 years, 1 month and 27 days. She was married to J. B. Hall on May 17, 1857, and for fifty-six years she has been a faithful wife and mother, whose daily life was a continued source of help and inspiration to those to whom she ministered, and also to those who had the good fortune to be among her acquaintances. Mr. and Mrs. Hall have lived in Nickerson since 1885. To them were born six children, three of whom survive her. They are Claud E. Hall of Nickerson, Mrs. M. J. Collins of Easton, Kansas and T. M. Hall of Oakland, California. Only a couple of weeks ago we announced the death of Mrs. Claud Hall. In so short a time have both these wives and mothers been taken away. The funeral will be held at the house this afternoon at 2:30 and the services will be conducted by Rev. Martin of the Congregational Church.
