From FindaGrave:

He was one of four brothers (Samuel Judson Hall, George Washington Hall, Stephen Carpenter Hall, and John Dillon Hall) who served with the 25th Massachusetts during the Civil War.

There are two listings for Samuel Hall with the same plot no. 1338. He was wounded at the Battle of Roanoke Island, NC on Feb 8, 1862 and died of those injuries on Mar 5, 1862. The U.S. Archives confirms the date of death on the second listing you have. The following is a letter and some notes concerning a letter his brother Stephen Carpenter Hall wrote home during the war.

Samuel Judson Hall was a soldier with the 25th Massachusetts Infantry. He mustered in on 14 Oct 1861 in Mendon, MA with Company C. He was wounded in battle on 8 Feb 1862 on Roanoke Island, NC and died 5 Mar 1862 on Roanoke Island, NC. This information is in accordance with the Adjutant General's Office Memorandum, Washington, August 2, 1867. The ship that brought the 25th to Roanoke Island was the New York.

According to New Bern National Cemetery Records, however, his date of death was 15 Feb 1862.

According to the letter that his brother Stephen Carpenter Hall wrote home to his sister-in-law, Rachel Marion (Daniels) Hall, his brother William's wife, it is assumed that the date of 15 Feb 1862 is in error. Stephen states he saw Samuel quite often while he was sick. Seven days (8 Feb 1862 when he was wounded to 15 Feb 1862 when NPS said he died) is not enough time to warrant such a statement.

The following is an excerpt from a letter written by Stephen Carpenter Hall dated 26 May 1862 to his sister-in-law (sister, he writes) Marion (Rachel Marion Hall, wife of William Henry Hall, Stephen's and Samuel's oldest brother):

"You spoke about Sam. As John took care of him he knew more about him than I do (did), but he had the nerve of being as brave as any of us. They said that when he fell they returned to help him off. He told them to never mind him, but go ahead and give it to them. I saw him quite often while he was sick. He always seemed in very good spirits and I was in hopes he would get well. Poor fellow, he must have suffered a great deal."
