ERASTUS W. HALL, farmer, P. O. Centreville, was born in Susquehanna County, Penn., April 8, 1828; son of Harmon and Prudence Hall, who came to this township in 1837. Here they cleared a farm and reared their children, six of whom are now living in this and Erie Counties. Our subject who was brought up on his father's farm, was married June 30, 1849, to Harriet Shipman, by whom he has the following children: Mrs. Rose Hart, Mrs. Freelove Obert, Orrin E., Mrs. Viola Adams, Mrs. Lizzie Rogers, Frank and Harry. Mr. Hall enlisted during the late war, April, 1864, in the Twelfth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry, served under Sheridan in the Virginia campaigns, and received an honorable discharge July, 1865. On his return he resumed farming, and by industry has acquired a comfortable home. He has taken a prominent part in the public affairs of his township, filling nearly all of its offices; he served as School Director nine years in all. Politically he is a stanch Republican.
