Grant P. Hall

Hon. Grant P. Hall, a member of the Charleston bar, and a leading factor in Republican politics in Kanawha County, has served with honor and credit in a number of public positions. He was born in Roane County, W.Va., December 21, 1865, a son of William and Isabel (Guinn) Hall.

Grant P. Hall was afforded exceptional educational advantages. From the common schools of Kanawha county he entered the Ohio Wesleyan University, going from there to Marshall College, Huntington, W.Va. For some years prior to 1893, he was engaged in teaching school and in that year was elected superintendent of the schools of Kanawha County and served in that office for two years. In the meanwhile he prepared for the bar, to which he gained admission in 1895, and he immediately began the practice of his profession. In 1896 he was elected clerk of the Circuit Court of Kanawha County, and served with credit and efficiency in that office for a term of six years. He then went into the real estate business which he has since followed, not having resumed his profession. Although he is active and zealous in the support of his own political party, he is a man of character and his work is done openly and honorably.

Mr. Hall married in the fall of 1895, to Miss Anna Steele, and they enjoy a beautiful home which is situated at South Side, a property which was formerly owned by J.W. Dawson. Mr. Hall maintains his offices in the Anderson-Stephenson building, Charleston.
