  From FindaGrave: WILLIAM HALL DIES THURSDAY Highly Esteemed By Everyone in the Community William L. Hall, well known resident of this community for many years, passed away at Sparta last Thursday, after being in ill health the past two years. He had been spending the winter in Sparta and his condition was not known to be serious by his many Tomah friends. William Lester Hall was born in the town of Greenfield on February 27, 1867, and had lived the greater part of his life within the county. He attended the Greenfield school and much of his life was spent in that township. During the past 15 years Mr. Hall has been engaged in developing a ranch west of Tunnel City, which was one of the beauty spots of this section, due to his planning and work. On the place was a snug cabin surrounded by a trim grove and here is where Bill Hall spent his summers, happy and contented in his retreat. Included in the property was a miniture lake, which formed a reservoir for a three-bed cranberry project of an acre and one-quarter. All of this property was built and maintained by Mr. Hall with the upmost care and the result was wholly delightful. Bill was always glad to have his friends call and enjoy the "ranch" and amny a pleasant summer afternoon has been spent by this writer, and many others of Bill's friends, in enjoyment of his quiet beauty spot. Deceased was initiated into the Masonic Lodge at Tomah on May 15, 1902 and was raised July 11, 1902. He was also a member of the Royal Arch Mason Lodge of Tomah and a knight of the Knight Templars Commandry of Sparta. Until this winter Mr. Hall spent his winters in Tomah for many years and has made a large circle of friends in this community who will miss him sincerely. Surviving are one sister, Mrs. Edward Becker, Tomah an two brothers, Arthur of Iowa City, Iowa, and Earl of Tunnel City, besides numerous nephews and nieces and many warm friends. Funeral services were conducted from the Ninneman Funeral Home here on Sunday afternoon, the Rev. D. W. Davis preaching the funeral sermon, with Rev. Bernard C. Herrick in charge of the service. The Masonic service was read and the remains laid to rest in the Tunnel City cemetery. *Obituary shared by Evelyn Joyce Hall Hasler through her Son, Russell John Kreuger.
