    • Dr. Janet Hall Passes

      Widely known woman medical practitioner of Woodstock for nearly half a century, Dr. Janet Hall passed away early Sunday morning at her residence in Woodstock. She had not been in the best of health for the past year but her passing occurred unexpectedly.

      Born in Blenheim township in 1872, a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hall, pioneer residents of that township, she was one of a family of eight, of whom only one brother, Oliver, of Toronto still survives.

      She received her early education in the township and later Woodstock and St. Catharines Collegiates, graduating in medicine from the University of Toronto. Following post graduate work in Europe, she took up practice in Woodstock where she was widely recognized for her ability both by the residents of Oxford and the Ontario medical profession. She retired from practice four years ago and was replaced by her nephew, Dr. Gordon Hall.

      The late Dr. Hall is related to several of the pioneer families in Blenheim and South Dumfries.

      The funeral was held from Knox Presbyterian Church, Woodstock, on Tuesday, with interment in the Ayr Cemetery.
