    • G.M. Hall Loses Fight for Life Sunday Morning

      Gilbert M. Hall, 75, Twin Falls city clerk for the past six years, died of uremic poisoning at 6 o'clock Sunday morning, at the family home, 127 Tenth Avenue East.

      He was stricken at his office five days previously, becoming critically ill Wednesday and life was despaired of thereafter. His four sons were summoned to the bedside, only one, Lawrence M. Hall, Hagerman teacher, being here at the time of death. James S. Hall, Van Wert, O., was unable to come; Fred H. Hall, student at the Chicago Theological Seminary, arrived Sunday noon, and the eldest son, Raymond G. Hall, Ketchikan, Alaska, caught a boat which was to get him into Seattle Sunday. The vessel's arrival was delayed until 7 a.m. today. The young man phoned home and said he would arrive in Bliss Tuesday afternoon.

      Mr. Hall attended a night meeting of the city council last week, at which time he complained of not feeling well, and said he would visit his doctor that evening. He came to work Tuesday but became so weak he was forced to return to his home before mid-day. He grew weaker as the malady gained in severity and his condition rapidly became grave. Life ebbed gradually through the week despite all the efforts to overcome the effects of the disease, and he passed away in a deep sleep early Sunday morning, oblivious to his surroundings.

      Funeral services will be conducted here Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 from the First Presbyterian Church in charge of Rev. Howard Renwick Cannon, resigned pastor, whose return trip to Chicago has been delayed on account of the death. Burial will be in the Twin Falls cemetery under the direction of the White mortuary where the body now lies.

      Mr. Hall had a wide acquaintance in southern Idaho, having come here in 1914 from Colorado to become manager of the Salmon River Land & Water Company at Hollister. In 1919 he was named representative of the Bondholder's Protective committee in which capacity he served until 1924. He became clerk of the city of Twin Falls in 1927 and has served continually in that position ever since.

      He was born July 15, 1857 at Charlton, N.Y., where he received his early education. He attended a business college at Poughkeepsie and later entered the grocery business with a brother at Cohoes, N. Y. In 1880 he moved to Colorado where he was married in 1884 to Ada Brundage, who was the mother of his son, Raymond. In 1892 he married Flora J. Smith, who survives, and to whom were born three sons; James, Fred, and Lawrence. His residence in Colorado centered around La Junta and later Rocky Ford. In Otero county with a group of nine other men, he built the first irrigation canal in that county. He became manager of the canal company there and was credited with being an expert in irrigation problems. From there he came to the Salmon Tract.

      In Colorado he was an honorary member of the Odd Fellows lodge, and was a member of the Hollister Masonic lodge as well as of the Woodmen of the World. In Twin Falls he was active in church and civic work, being a former ruling elder of the First Presbyterian Church and a leading member of the Kiwanis Club of Twin Falls, in which organization he had served as district trustee. He bore an enviable reputation among his associates for reliability and unquestioned integrity and during his career built a wide circle of friends. Few realized his life spanned more than three-quarters of a century and many marvel at his ability to have worked up to within a week of the day of his death.

      Mayor R. E. Bobier, members of the city council, and associates in the city hall were today unanimous in their expressions of regret in the passing of Mr. Hall.

      He had earned a reputation for carefulness in the administration of his official duties and a faithfulness to his responsibilities in whatever he was engaged.

      The family today requested that friends refrain from sending flowers for the funeral.

    • Gilbert M. Hall Is Summoned at Twin Falls Sunday

      Gilbert Minor Hall, 75, Twin Falls city clerk for the past six years and well known in Burley, also a well known figure in irrigation project operations in Colorado and Idaho, died at 6 o'clock Sunday morning at his residence, 127 Tenth avenue east in Twin Falls from uremic poisoning.

      He was born at Charlton, New York, July 15, 1857, where his early life was spent. Following his graduation from the Poughkeepsie New York business college, he was engaged with an older brother in the grocery business three years before moving to Colorado. He came from Colorado to Idaho in 1914 to play a leading part in the readjustment of the Salmon river irrigation project following yhe failure of the construction company. He lived at Hollister for about five years and then moved to Twin Falls in 1919.

      He is survived by his widow, four sons, Lawrence Hall, teacher at Hagerman; Raymond, living at Ketchikan, Alaska; Fred Hall, student at Chicago theological seminary, and James H. Hall, living at Van Wert, Ohio.

      Funeral serviceswere held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Twin Falls Presbyterian church, with interment in Twin Falls cemetery. One of the palll-bearers was E. B. Darlington of Burley.
