    Horace Powers (H.P.) Hall was born in Croydon, Sullivan County, New Hampshire, on August 5, 1827. He pursued his early education in the common schools and spent two years at Wesleyan University in Connecticut. Hall later received a B.A. degree
    from Amhurst College in Massachusetts (1855) and an M.A. degree from DePaul University in Indiana. Hall's teaching career began when he moved to Illinois in 1856. There he met Ellen M. Herrick, a native of Cheshire County, New Hampshire; they
    married and had five children.



    In 1864, at the time of the Civil War, Hall placed aside his professional and personal considerations and enlisted as a member of Company I, First Indiana Heavy Artillery, located in Indianapolis. Shortly after his discharge, Hall and his
    family settled in Sycamore, Illinois, where he succeeded Andrew T. Blanchard as city superintendent of schools. Hall, elected county superintendent of schools in 1869, remained in that office until 1877.



    During his work as superintendent of the DeKalb County schools, Hall published an educational monthly journal pertaining to the schools of the county and wrote a pamphlet entitled, suggestions to Teachers. Under his guidance, the schools made
    substantial progress in several educational enterprises. In 1877, Hall retired from office and embarked in the grocery and insurance business.
