Obituary:
Richard S. Hall, one of Omaha's most prominent attorneys, died at his home, 3224 Farnam street, Sunday afternoon at 12:40. His illness, which was caused by acute kidney trouble, had been serious for three weeks and he took a sudden turn for the worse Sunday morning. His family, which included the widow, Mrs. Florence W. Hall; Richard Ware, 22, a senior at Yale; Dorothy, 19; Janet, 17, and Jasper 9, were with him at his death. His mother, Mrs. S. D. Bangs of Omaha, 88 years of age, and his stepfather, S. D. Bangs, were also present.
The funeral will be held from Trinity cathedral Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock, with interment at Forest Lawn cemetery.
Mr. Hall was attracted to the law by reason of his father having been an eminent lawyer and judge, who was appointed chief justice of the territory of Nebraska by President Buchanan in 1858. The family came to Bellevue that year. Richard S. Hall was born in Batavia, N. Y., being a boy of 3 years at the time of his removal to this state.
Mr. Hall attended Talbot hall and Nebraska college and then went to Washington university of St. Louis, where he studied law, receiving his degree in 1877. He returned home to Omaha from St. Louis, was at once admitted to the bar and formed the firm of Estabrook & Hall. Two years later Mr. Hall and former Senator John M. Thurston became partners, the firm continuing until Mr. Thurston became general solicitor of the Union Pacific in 1888.
Then Mr. Hall headed the firm of Hall, McCulloch & English, later Hall & McCulloch. Mr. McCulloch went to California to reside in 1906 and the firm of Hall & Stout was formed, which has continued to the present day.
Mr. Hall's career as a lawyer has been among the very first in Nebraska. He was retained in the Union Pacific and Oregon Short Line cases representing the first Union Pacific Railroad company bondholders in a suit involving $80,000,000. In recent time Mr. Hall represented the Omaha Water company in protracted litigation involving the sale of the plant to the city of Omaha and won a big victory for his client.
In politics Mr. Hall took little interest so far as being a candidate himself was concerned, a single exception being a candidacy some years ago for the state senate. He served some time on the Board of Education.
Outside of the law and his home life Mr. Hall's chief interest was the Protestant Episcopal church, and for the diocese of Nebraska and Trinity cathedral parish he was all his life an earnest worker, serving as chancellor of the diocese and as a vestryman of the parish.
Mr. Hall was married in 1885 to Miss Florence W. Ware, daughter of the late J. A. Ware of Nebraska City.
Mr. Hall's fatal illness brought to this city his former partner, J. H. McCulloch of California. The two men were partners and the most intimate of friends from 1888 until 1906.
Richard married Florence W. Ware in 1885. Florence was born in 1863 in Nebraska City, Otoe County, Nebraska; died before 29 Oct 1924; was buried on 29 Oct 1924 in Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Omaha, Douglas County, Nebraska. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
