DYER F. HALL

Nashua Reporter
20 October 1910

The ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic are again thinned by the death of an honored member, Dyer F. Hall, who passed away at his home one mile northeast of town at 6 o'clock Tuesday morning Oct. 18. Death was due to arterio sclerosis; which is a hardening of the muscles of the heart and the arteries. It was the fore part of last March when the deceased realized that all was not right with him and that he needed the services of a physician. However medical skill could only delay the end, which was sure to come sooner or later. His age was 66 years, 8 months, and 14 days.

Dyer F Hall was born Feb. 4, 1844 at Brasher N. Y., and came with his parents to Iowa when he was 10 years old. He was married in 1865 to Miss Emma Barber. The young couple lived for one year in Luana, coming thence to Nashua, which place was his home up until the time of his death. At the breaking out of the war he enlisted in Co. G, 27th Iowa Infantry, which went out from this county, and served during the war with honor to himself, and to his country. He was the father of six children of whom three died during a scourge of diphtheria during the year of 1879, as follows: Walter, Nov. 20, Clara May, Nov. 22, and Ida Luella, Nov. 24. Another daughter, LuLu, died April 26, 1899. Besides the wife two children, Clarence and Martha are left to mourn.

The funeral is to be held from the home at 10:30 Friday morning, Rev. Kirwin officiating, and the interment will be in Oak Hill cemetery.
