Biographies - Elmira Township

Mrs. Ann Hall (deceased), who settled at Osceola Grove, June 26, 1836, died there October 24,1886, aged eighty-two years.

As noted in other pages, she came with her husband from England, and for fifty years resided on the same spot, where over fifty years ago she saw their first humble home in America raised.

Her husband, one son and two daughters preceded her to the grave.

Four sons and eleven grandchildren now represent this branch of the pioneer Halls of Osceola Grove.

She was one of the first persons in this district to join a Methodist class, and for a number of years her deceased husband was class leader. Even up to the period of her death she was looked upon as the only one who could speak authentically on the early history of that church in her neighborhood.
