• Notes

  Thomas Hall Passes Former Reeve of North Dumfries Township and Warden of the County of Waterloo In the passing of Thomas Hall at his home, Hall street, on Monday afternoon, Ayr loses a prominent and highly esteemed citizen. Mr. Hall, who had been in poor health for some time, was in his 82nd year. He was born on the Hall homestead, 12th concession of Blenheim, now occupied by D. B. Mitchell, being a son of Andrew Hall and Margaret Robson, Scottish pioneers. Following his marriage, Mr. Hall took up farming on the property now owned by Amos Shantz, North Dumfries. He later removed to the Thomas Mitchell farm, Nithvale, now occupied by Arthur Jarvis, and retired to Ayr 21 years ago, where he purchased the Charles McGeorge property, Hall street. After coming to this village, Mr. Hall was for many years in charge of the retail store of James A. Dalzell, implement dealer, Stanley St. While in the township, Mr. Hall was prominent in municipal politics, serving as Councillor and Reeve of the North Dumfries Council and holding the office of Warden of the County of Waterloo for a term. Mr. Hall was also prominent in the religious life of the community. A member of the former Stanley Street Church, he affiliated with Knox United Church when union was consummated. Here he occupied a position on the Board of Managers for a considerable period and was later appointed to the Trustee Board. For many years, he held the office of treasurer of the congregation, in which capacity he continued to act until his passing. Mr. Hall was a man of sound judgment whose opinion was much sought after, and for some years he held the position of Justice of the Peace. Besides one daughter, Miss Marjorie, he is survived by one sister, Miss Mary Hall, Ayr. His wife, whose maiden name was Agnes Deans, predeceased him in 1929. The funeral took place this (Wednesday) afternoon to the Ayr Cemetery. The Ayr News Jan 8 1948 pg 15
