From the Hall Genealogy by David Brainerd Hall, 1883
"Mr. Hall was a skillful and beloved physician of Rochester. The peculiar
characteristics of his boyhood were filial love, benevolence and gratitude, and
these traits grew and ripened with his growth, until in manhood, they drew
around him very many devoted friends. He made a profession of his faith,
and was admitted to his father's church at the age of sixteen years. He
possessed an unusually bright and active mind, and spent his youth in the
acquisition of those full stores of knowledge which so eminently qualified him
for future usefulness. He graduated at Union College in 1850 and
immediately applied himself to the study of medicine, and received the degree of
M. D. at the New York Medical College, in 1854, and in the spring of the same
year opened an office for the practice of his profession in Rochester and
obtained full employment. He was highly esteemed by the public, as well as
by his professional brethren as a learned and honorable physician. to his
patients he was peculiarly endeared as well by the tender sympathy he
manifested, as by the confidence which his skill inspired. He served nine
months in the war for the Union as surgeon of the 140th Reg. N. Y. Vols., and
was present doing duty at the Battle of Fredericksburg. On the 25th of
Feb., 1869, he was obliged to remain at home on account of an attack of
rheumatism, which was supposed to be slight; the disease however developed an
inflammatory type, and from day to day increased in severity until he died, in a
little over a week. He died in the fulness of his usefulness, and his loss
was deeply felt."
