From Halls of New England, p. 3
The following pathetic if not poetic epitaph upon his grave stone, now standing in the old Middletown cemetery, give evidence of his many virtues.
Here lyes our Deacon Hall, who died peace with all,
Was upright in his life, void of malignant strife
Gone to his rest -- left us in sorrow
Doubtless his good works will him follow."
