Subject: Annie Hall Linquist on Nelson W. Hall--1983

"Nelson and Sarah were married in Auburn, DeKalb, Indiana, 15 November 1859. They had known each other for years, as John N. Sims and Eliza Simmons, Sarah's parents, and Charles Simmons and Sarah Simmons, who were Sarah's mother's family, had lived in some of the same communities in Ohio and New York and had migrated to Indiana with the Halls.

Nelson built a small home in Auburn. He was ambitious, and life seemed to be going well for them. Their joy seemed complete when on 1 October 1860, a son, John Wesley Hall, was born. Their joy was short-lived, however, as the Civil War was gaining momentum, Indiana was suffering 'war fever'.

On 8 October 1860, when baby Wesley was but 8 days old, Nelson, his father, with his brother Erastus Pease Hall, and many Hall cousins and Steadmans, enlisted in the Union Army.

The feeling of patriotism ran very high in DeKalb County. Men came forward and enlisted faster than companies could be organized. More Indiana men enlisted than any other state in the Nation at that time.

October 8, 1860 found Nelson, Erastus, and their company at the railroad station in Auburn. The citizenry turned out enmass [sic], a band played, the starts and stripes waved, and a group attempted to fire a cannon to celebrate the occasion. The cannon misfired, and several people were severely burned. This cast a pall over the entire community.

The company left by train for Indianapolis and were encamped at the fairgrounds. Nelson was mustered into service on 20 November 1860, and was assigned to the 5th Indiana Artillery Battery to serve for a period of three years. These men quickly joined others of the Army of Ohio, and soon found themselves in the thick of fighting.

Back home in Auburn, wife Sarah, bereft of husband and a new baby to care for, continued singing in the Methodist choir, where her sweet soprano voice sang praises to the Creator. Her strong faith enabled her to survive hours of terrible trial.

Sarah busied herself with the other women of the community making banners for their husbands and holding socials to generate funds for the families of service men in need.

During his travels to Tennessee, Nelson met Simmons cousins, who now lived in southern Ohio, and were confederate soldiers. It was customary to 'call off' the war if they encountered an orchard where they could supplement their food supply. The visit with cousins was most pleasant. Soon the bugle would sound and the war would be on again.

Nelson and Erastus soon found themselves in one of the worst battles of the Civil War. They were in the 'Great Battle of the Wilderness' at Shilo, in Chicamauga, Tennessee. Nelson was hit by a 'spent' mini-ball, but was not seriously hurt. Both Nelson and Erastus contracted measles in a terrible epidemic. Erastus would die from complications of measles and pneumonia. Nelson suffered the same disease and was incapacitated and sent home to recuperate and then return to service.

Sarah gave birth to another son, 5 December 1861. William Richard was born.

Nelson was given a medical discharge 26 November 1864. He hurried home to his sons and dear 'Sarie' as she was called.

Life was very hard for them. They moved to Steuben County, Indiana where 5 more children were born.

They, with other veteran's families, decided to move to Michigan, as the state offered the veteran a fine bargain with land. They moved to Hartwick, Michigan, where one child was born and then to Avondale, Michigan, where the last child was born.

Hartwich and Avondale were lumber towns. Today, Hartwick has the largest stand of white pine in North America.

Nelson and his son Wesley, who had helped supplement the family income since the age of 12, worked in the logging camps.

Life was hard for the veteran, as the country suffered a terrible financial depression. Nelson's health continued to deteriorate. He was never well after his discharge from the service. His military records show just how tragic life was for him. He evidently suffered from ameobic dysentery [sic] for the rest of his life.

Finally, Sarah and Nelson went to Grand Rapids to live in the Old Soldiers home and eventually died there. Sarah died 9 May 1903, and Nelson followed on 28 September 1903.

Nelson is buried in the Old Cemetery in Gaylord, Michigan, while 'Sarie' sleeps in the big beautiful Veteran's Cemetery in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Sarah Hall Hadfield and Annie Hall Lindquist, took family records to Nelson's posterity in Gaylord, Michigan in 1982. The families there did not know that this great and good man slept in their very old cemetery and that his headstone was deteriorating. Sarah and Annie arranged for a lovely new headstone and a flag constantly flying at his gravesite. Cousin Gayle Kwapis gets credit for finalizing the idea."

Notes:

He enlisted in Civil War in Kendalville, Noble County, Indiana in Oct. 1864. He died in Feb. 1865 in Tennessee (probably at Hord House, which was turned into a hospital for Union soldiers). His name is on some monument in Indiana.  There was a land sale after his death on the part of Susannah.

His middle name is under contention. According to Kathryn Hall, "throughout the years it has been speculated that Erastus P. Hall's middle name was either Pease or Perry. It is my belief that neither of these is correct. It is my belief that his middle name was Plimpton, and that his parents, Luke Hall and Mercy Steadman Hall, named him after Reverend Billings O. Plimpton of the Methodist Church, as they were founding pioneers of Plimpton's congregation.

See notes on Erie Conference .

The fact that Luke and Mercy Hall named their older son Nelson Wesley Hall, a clear nod to Methodist founder John Wesley, only adds to the speculation. It is also noteworthy that the leaders of their Methodist congregation were fierce abolitionists, adding to a motive for Erastus and his brother to join the Union army, especially given the pioneering role his parents played in the founding of the church."

Obituary:
At the coming meeting of the Northwester Association, we shall miss the familiar face of our long-time friend Geo. W. Hall, whose death occurred at Negaunee, Mich. a few weeks ago.

Mr. Hall had resided in the West many years, and occupied positions of importance as inspector at St. Paul, and in the Lake Superior region. Professionally he was a man of excellent judgment, large information, and great tact in performing the difficult duties in which he was engaged. His opinions were in accord with those held by the best men in our business, and his decsions were received with great confidence.

The notice of his death in the local paper of Negaunee states that he had been afflicted with kidney trouble, which gave rise to the sickness which caused his death. He was buried at Lockport, N.Y., which was his former home. The Monitor records it respectful sympathy with the family who mourn his loss.
