Harry Hall (1890-1982)

Harry Hall was born on January 9, 1890 in Todd County, Kentucky.  He was the only child born to Josephus G. Hall and Carrie Maude McGehee.  Harry was raised in Clifty, Todd County, Kentucky, where his father worked in a dry goods store.

Harry married Mona L. “Monie” Willis around 1911 in Todd County, Kentucky.  He was 20 years old and she was 16 years.  Monie was born on June 14, 1894 in Todd County, Kentucky, the daughter of Protice Willis and Georgia Ann Mayes.

Harry and Monie were the parents of at least seven children:

Marvin Hall                born March 11, 1912
Brank Hall                 born January 15, 1914
Mabel Hall                 born December 18, 1917
May Hall                    born November 3, 1922
Ruth Hall                   born October 12, 1924
Joe Gill Hall              born July 11, 1927
Ann Hall                    born September 29, 1929

After their marriage, Harry and Monie settled their family in Clifty, Todd County, Kentucky, where they lived and worked on a farm.

Harry registered for the draft for the First World War on June 5, 1917 in Todd County, Kentucky.  He was described as of medium height and build, with dark hair and one brown eye and one blue eye.  Harry claimed exemption from the draft because he was caring for his parents, as well as his wife and children.  He did not serve in the war.

In 1930, Harry and Monie and their children were living on a farm on Clarksville and Greenville Road in Clifty, Todd County, Kentucky.

Mona L. Willis Hall died on May 8, 1942 in the Muhlenberg County Community Hospital in Greenville, Muhlenberg County, Kentucky.  The cause of death listed was “mesenteric thrombosis” and “intestinal rupture.”  Mona was buried in the Slaughter Cemetery in Clifty, Todd County, Kentucky.  She was 48 years old at her death.

Harry remarried thirty years later.  He married Myrtle Grace, a widow, on January 19, 1973 in Logan County, Kentucky.  He was 83 years old and she was 70 years.  Myrtle was born in 1902 in Court House, Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, the daughter of Hugh F. Lee and Nettie M. Rust.

Harry Hall died nine years later, on March 26, 1982 in Grayson County, Kentucky.  He was laid to rest next to his first wife, Mona Willis Hall, in the Slaughter Cemetery in Clifty, Todd County, Kentucky.  Harry was 92 years old at his death.
