Frederick G. Hall
Cumberland County numbers among her professional men no more successful or highly skilled veterinarian than Dr. Frederick G. HALL, of Amherst, who has long been engaged in the practice there after first very carefully preparing himself for his chosen career.
Dr. HALL was born in Southampton, England, July 29, 1858. He is a son of William and Harriet (JEROME) HALL, both natives of Southampton also, where they grew up, attended school, were married and established their home. There the father engaged in mercantile pursuits for many years. His death occurred in 1869, when a young man. His widow is still living, making her home in Birmingham, England, having survived her husband over forty-five years.
Frederick G. HALL grew up in Southampton and there attended the public schools. He emigrated to Canada in 1871, and attended high school at Sterling, Ontario, then went to Toronto and entered the Ontario Veterinary College at that place. He was graduated from that institution in March, 1885, and soon thereafter located in Amherst, Nova Scotia for the practice of his profession and here he has remained to the present time, having built up a large and lucrative practice, which extends all over Cumberland County. He keeps a modernly equipped hospital, one of the best of its kind in the Province, and has been successful in the practice of veterinary medicine and surgery. Our subject was the first inspector of milk and food for Amherst after the town was incorporated and still holds that position.
Politically, he is a liberal. He has been Dominion and Provincial veterinary inspector and is now connected with the Dominion Government Experimental Farm work, as veterinarian to the Maritime fat stock and horse shows. He is a member of the Veterinary Society of Nova Scotia, and belongs to the executive committee of the same. Fraternally, he is a member of the Free and Accepted Masons, the Royal Arcanum and the Maccabees of the World. He is a member of the Church of England.
