Biography of Hon. George R. Hall
On June 29, 1836, the hearts of Samuel and
Betsey (Wyman) Hall, farmers of Stansted county, Canada East, were made happy by the birth of
their second child, the subject of this sketch. The family continued to reside in Canada until
George had reached his fifteenth year, when they came to eastern Wisconsin and found a home in
Racine county. Six years later, and four years after the death of the father, the family came to
Wabasha county. Mr. Hall, in the spring of 1858, located a pre-emption claim on section 4 in
Plainview township, on Greenwood prairie. For eight years he followed the life of a pioneer
farmer on this place. Soon after disposing of this farm, he bought another of one hundred and
forty acres on the same section. This place he sold in 1873, and the same year purchased eighty
acres on section 37, in the adjoining township of Highland. This farm he enlarged by the
purchase of one hundred and sixty acres adjacent thereto, and in the spring of 1883 sold to Mr.
Burgess. Mr. Hall bought a house and lot in the village of Plainview, and moved to town in the
spring of 1880. He is agent for the Laird-Norton Lumber Co., of Winona, which has a branch
business in Plainview. Mr. Hall enlisted in the 1st bat. Minn. Light Art., December 31, 1863.
Owing to ill health, saw but little active service, and was discharged on May 25, 1865. He is a
member of the Methodist Episcopal church, a Royal Arch Mason, and a member of the board of
supervisors. In the winter of 1877 he represented the Plainview district in the state legislature.
His politics are republican. Electa A. Austin, of Racine county, Wisconsin, became his wife
October 17, 1858. They have four children: Ida L. (wife of the Rev. F. B. Cowgill, a Methodist
Episcopal clergyman and member of the Minnesota conference), Ella Mary (a teacher in Winona
county), Inez M. and Nellie Gertrude, living at home.
Biography of Ira J. Humphrey
Ira was born in Steuben county, New York,
October 25, 1826, his parents being William and Hannah (Harris) Humphrey, the former a native
of New York State and the latter of Virginia. He received a common-school education. July 15,
1849, he espoused Mary A. Randall, a native of Orange county, New York, then in her twentieth
year. Her parents, William and Anna (Davenport) Randall, were both born in the same state. Mr.
Humphrey continued to reside at the old home until 1854, when he removed to Illinois; from here
he went to Vernon county, Wisconsin, and again to Tunnel City, Wisconsin, where he kept hotel,
and Mrs. Humphrey opened a millinery store. In 1861 they came to Highland, and took up the
eighty acres on section 20, where they still reside. Mr. Humphrey served eighteen months in the
1st Minn. bat., which was with Sherman in his famous march to the sea. Mr. Humphrey is an
excellent farmer, and indifferent politician and a genial man. Mrs. Humphrey has established a
local reputation as a prophetess. This worthy couple have been blessed with three sons, James,
Milo and Charles, now residents of Brown county, Dakota.
