           CHARLES L. HALL, attorney and insurance agent at Sand Beach, was
        born Oct. 8, 1850, in Paterson, N.J.  He is the son of PHILETUS D.
        and MARY (WANNAMAKER) HALL.  When he was six years of age his par-
        ents removed to Rome, Lenawee Co., Mich., where his father bought a
        farm, his health having failed from close application to office
        work.  Both parents were natives of Warwick Township, Orange Co.,
        N.Y.  They had eight children, seven of whom are now living.  After
        a brief residence in Rome, the family removed to Adrian, where the
        father died Dec. 11, 1864.  They went after that event to Orange
        Co., N.Y.
           MR. HALL is the second of the children born to his parents and
        was 15 years old when his mother returned to New York. He was a
        student at school until he was 18 years old, when he became a
        teacher in ihe Seward Institute and in a district school in
        Florida, N.Y.  He continued his labors in that avenue about two
        years and pursued his studies preparatory to entering college.
        He changed his plans and read law for some time, when he came to
        Adrian, Mich., and was admitted to the Bar of Michigan in that city
        in April, 1872. He began practice on the first of May following, at
        Morenci, Lenawee County, where he continued to transact the busi-
        ness of his profession until Jan. 1, 1875.
           In the fall of 1874 he was elected Circuit Court Commissioner
        and removed to Adrian. He was re-elected in 1878 and continued in
        the discharge of the duties of the position until December 31,
        1880. In February, 1881, he came to Huron County, as a member of
        the law firm of HALL, WELCH & HALL, establishing triune offices at
        Bad Axe, Port Austin and Sand Beach, with himself in charge of the
        latter. The association existed until October, 1882, since which
        date MR. HALL has managed the business of his office singly, and
        is engaged in a prosperous and satisfactory legal practice, and
        secures a large degree of patronage as an insurance agent. He
        represents the Continental of New York, the Pennsylvania Fire of
        Pennsylvania, and the Germania and Underwriters of New York, MR.
        HALL is a member of the Masonic fraternity and is the Senior Warden
        of Huron Lodge, No. 36.
           His marriage to ELLA S. GREELEY occurred Oct. 24, 1872, at
        Morenci, and of the union three children have been born as follows:
        CARRIE L., May 31, 1875; NELLIE H., Feb. 5, 1878; CHARLES G., Dec.
        8, 1880.  MRS. HALL was born in the township of Seneca, Lenawee
        County June 6, 1850, and is the daughter of NOAH and MARIA (GOULD)
        GREELEY.
