Notes:

Luther Hall and his wife Hannah were both members of the Congregational Church and he held the office of a deacon during the first twelve years of his married life.  He was of a serious turn of mind from childhood, preferring books to play and noted for his honesty.  He filled the office of a deacon well and cheerfully performed every duty imposed upon him, glad to do all he could to promote the cause of Christ at home and abroad.  It was his custom to read the Bible through once every year and to make it his study and the rule of his moral and Christian conduct.  His wife Hannah was the mother of his children and a fit companion for such an excellent man.

He was a farmer as his ancestors had been and owned and lived on the farm formerly owned by Lt. Nathaniel Whitmore, who built the house in 1780.  Nathaniel Whitmore and his sons occupied the farm for a long period.  He was also a blacksmith and set up for himself the first trip hammer used in Sutton.  The Whitmore family were buried in Millbury.  Abel Chase owned the farm next was of Whitmore's and was also a blacksmith (his shop and farm have been confounded in history with the Whitmores and Halls.

Notes:

The following is directly t taken from the HALLS OF REHOBOTH by Rev. David B. Hall, 1883:

"In very early life he exhibited a rare love of books and study, and was generally at the head of his classes in school; his father was greatly pleased and determined to give him a liberal education in hope that he would become a minister of
the Gospel, and fervently prayed many years that such might be the case.  He graduated at Yale College in 1839, with the first honors of his class, one member of which was United Stated Senator Dawes of Massachusetts, another if the Rev. I. N.
Tarbox of Boston.  In December 1839, he embarked on shipboard at Boston for Mobile, Ala., and when at sea but a few hours a violent storm arose and he was shipwrecked, but finally escaped alive and was at home again in a few days; yet not
content, he re-shiped and arrived safely in Mobile where he engaged in teaching school for a year; at the same time he studied law, and was admitted to the bar, but as his health failed he was constrained to go farther north, and in 1841 he
settled at St. Louis, Mo., where after a hard struggle with adverse circumstances, he succeeded in establishing himself in a lucrative business.  In the spring of 1847, he was appointed by Gov. Edwards, circuit attorney for the county, and
afterwards was strongly recommended as a fit appointment to succeed Judge Blair, of the court of common pleas, and in the summer of 1850, he received the nomination for the state senate, but being absent from the state, and unable to attend
personally to the canvass, he lost his election.  After an absence of more than eight years, he returned to his native place and married, Aug. 29, 1847, Sarah Chase Smith, dau. of Dr. David H. S. C. Smith.  They had long been engaged, and had
constantly corresponded, and the interest of the meeting can better be imagined than described.  It is said there never was such a meeting in Sutton.  They met to part no more till death should separate them for a little while; and they left
their native place and friends together, never to return.  She died at her home in St. Louis, Jan. 13, 1849, at the age of 27, and her child, born and died the day before was laid upon her bosom and buried with her. This was the severest trial
of his life, even so great, that he longed to depart and be with his beloved dead; continual sickness followed, and his desire was granted, he died March 29, 1851, ae. 33 years, and was buried in Christ Cemetery, St. Louis."
