Henry Albert Levi Hall, attorney at law of New Haven, was born December 19, 1872, in Birmingham, England, a son of Samuel and Emily (Walker) Hall. His early education was acquired in English public schools, but his professional training was received in the Yale Law School, from which he was graduated with the degree of LL. B. in the class of 1895. He has since engaged in active practice, specializing in conveyancing, real estate and probate work, in which lines he is particularly well qualified, his broad study in those departments of jurisprudence enabling him to speak with authority on questions relative thereto. He has also become connected with some of the financial interests of New Haven, being a director in the Peoples Bank & Trust Company and also of the New Haven Building & Loan Association.
     On the 29th of August, 1900, in West Haven, Mr. Hall was married to Miss Alice Anna Hine, a daughter of Rollin Wells and Lugevia Lyman (Prindle) Hine. Her ancestors were among the earliest settlers of the towns of New Haven and Milford. She is a descendant of Governor Treat and President Andrew of Yale College and others prominent in the colonial and later history of this section. Mr. and Mrs. Hall have become parents of three daughters, Mary Desborough, Elizabeth Walker and Eunice Prindle.
     Mr. and Mrs. Hall hold membership in the Protestant Episcopal church, and he is clerk of the parish of Christ church of West Haven. He belongs to several social and fraternal organizations, including the Masonic Lodge of West Haven, of which he was chaplain for a year, the Union League Club of New Haven, the New Haven Colony Historical Society, the Yale Alumni Association and the New Haven Chamber of Commerce. His political views are in accord with the principles of the republican party. He has been a member of the board of wardens and burgesses of the borough of West Haven for one year. He was also chairman of the charter revision committee of the town of Orange. Since 1899 he has been a member of the board of education of West Haven and has served as clerk of the board.
