Research Notes

Orville Walter Hall (1903-1989)

• (Dill-2940 06:07, 20 April 2023 (UTC)):

Orville Hall's birth parents are Herbert Earl Hall and Frances M. Stille (1879-1907). In 1910, Frances had passed nearly 3 years earlier and Orville (6y) is the only child not living with his father. Rather, he is living with his great-grandfather Willard Hall and [grand]aunt Mary Stella Hall. Mary Stella is the sister of William Chandler (Herbert's father), making her the aunt of Herbert. Herbert and his other three children (Albert (8y), Ethel (4y), and Letha (2y)) are living with William Chandler Hall and Adaline (Magee) Hall, Herbert's parents (Orville's grandparents). The reason why Orville was singled out is not yet known.

The tree:

Orville Walter Hall

=> Herbert Earl Hall (1881-1950) (Orville's father)

=> Wiliam Chandler Hall (1858-1940) (Orville's grandfather)

=> Willard Hall (Orville's great-grandfather)

In 1920, Orville (16y) is still living with his [grand]aunt and great-grandfather. He is listed as the son of Frank and Mary. It is unknown if Mary and Frank legally adopted Orville. Documents of a legal adoption has yet to be discovered. Regardless, it is apparent that Mary and her husband raised Orville. (In the obituary for Mary's daughter, Orville is referred to as Alice's brother, not cousin. ^[6]) By the 1930 census, Frank and Willard have passed. Orville (26y) is living with Mary in Salem, Washington County, Ohio. He is listed as her nephew. ^[7]
