  	From Jeff Hall: I have sent a letter to the Wisconsin Vital Records office as of Oct. 24, 2000 requesting the marriage certificate of Albert and Elizabeth as she noted in one of her letters to William Edgar Hall that she was married to Albert Eustis in Milwaukee. Vital Records P.O. Box 309 Madison, WI. 53701-0309 cost $7.00 In January of 2001 I received word from Wisconsin V.R. that they have no record of the marriage of Elizabeth and Albert.  They said their files prior to 1907 are incomplete and that I should inquire directly to the city of Milwaukee. The two were supposed to have been divorced. It was said to have started in Illinois and ended in Mass?

• Notes

  From Jeff Hall: Could be one of the more interresting Halls. His parents had a good deal of wealth through hard work and he grew up in this environment. It is said that he was supposed to have attended Lake Forest School but may not have started or finished.  At the age of 26 he apparently eloped with Elizabeth Behrs, a little educated first generation daughter of German immigrants. They went to Milwaukee, Wisconsin to be married by a judge in 1881. It appears that this significantly displeased his parents. They had two boys within two years.  As a result of fighting or the parents wish to separated them or because his mother wanted him to marry his cousin, Albert was packed off to Leadville, Colorado, to live on the range for two years.  When he returned the divorce was apparently begun and he and his parents removed to Worcester because of the scandal of divorce. In Worcester, he eventually married his cousin, Mabel Fiske, and worked as a bookkeeper. His wife died pregnant in April 1900 of uremia and he followed suit about three and a half months later. His obituary claimed that he died of grief and he apparently failed terribly after his wife's death. He had even enlisted the help of clairvoyants to contact his wife in death. He is buried in the family plot at Hope Cemetary in Worcester, Mass. In recent conversations with Gloria Brown Engle, Elizabeth Behrs grand-daughter, she felt that Albert was of poor health and may even have had Tuberculosis. We know his obituary said that he had asthma. Also Gloria thought that Elizabeth Behrs worked as a domestic, possibly cook, for the Wm. Eustis Hall family in Chicago. Elizabeth's father John Paul Behr was employed by the Pullman Company which is exactly where Wm. E. Hall worked when he first came to Chicago.
