Notes:

Her people seem to have come from the Chicago area and were not well off financially. 

Elizabeth is probably the oldest of thirteen children, had little formal education, and from her letters went to work about ten years of age. 

She and Albert E. Hall seem to have eloped to Milwaukee, Wis. to be married. She had William Edgar Hall 10 months later, and then another child Clayton 2 years later. William Edgar Hall says he was told they fought a lot and were eventually divorced. It is said that Albert Eustis's father William Eustis wanted them divorced and made life tough for Elizabeth so she finally agreed to a divorce. It is also said that Miranda Sarah Hall, Albert's mother had nothing against Elizabeth but wanted her son to marry his cousin so that the Hall family money would stay in the Hall and Fiske families. William Edgar Hall tells the story that when his grandfather heard that Miranda had called her niece , Albert's cousin,  west to see Albert the father packed Albert off posthaste on the next train for Denver, Colorado, and thence to Leadville, Colorado where Albert lived out on the range for 2 years. This apparently didn't solve the problem as Albert eventually married Mable Fiske, his cousin.

William Edgar Hall was taken from Elizabeth possibly for money and she was left with Clayton.  She apparently made one trip East in 1889 to see her son and ex-husband in Worcester, but came at the inopportune time of William Judson's wedding and her former husband, Albert, was escorting his cousin to the affair. She writes that she was wisked off to a cheap hotel in downtown Worcester without windows and had no food for 24 hours. She returned to Chicago and married Mr. Engleman 5 months later in May of 1890.

They lived in Salt Lake City in the early 1900's at 808 Lincoln Ave. About 1907 she claimed to have had 3 sisters and two brothers. She did not like following her husband to mining camps at high altitudes because she had breathing problems and ear trouble she attributed to the elevation. In one of her letters she states she recovered slowly from Typhoid. She lost her hearing about 1903.

She always signed her letters to William Edgar, "I remain your loving mother, Elizabeth Engleman".  He apparently didn't write as frequently later on as he could have. I believe he was afraid that she would want to come to live with him and be financially dependent upon him.

In personal e-mail correspondence with Gloria Engle she said that her mother Jessie Mae noted that her mother, Elizabeth Englemann wasted away quickly in front of her eyes. That she was always hungry and ate but kept loosing weight. Sounds like diabetes mellitus or cancer to me, W.C.H. 

The photo of Elizabeth with her two granddaughters was probably taken just a few months before she died. Gloria also does not remember Elizabeth Behrs Englemann being called anything but Lizzie. I have conflicting dates of death, one for Nov. 20, 1919 and another for Nov. 13, 1920.  The 1919 death date is from the LDS records and is possibly more accurate.

A phone call by Wm. C. Hall 2/2002 to the Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Salt Lake, Utah revealed that it does exist, and that Elizabeth C. Engleman is indeed buried there with her husband listed as Peter (Piere) Engleman. Their records at that time did not include any obituaries nor was the secretary able to tell me her exact date of death, however she did have the records that showed she was interred Nov. 15, 1920. She is in Section U, Lot 115, Plot 11. Her husband is in Plot 10. The cemetery is located in Salt Lake City proper in the northeast corner of the city at 13th East and 5th South.

Notes:

From Jeff Hall:

Albert Lee Hall was born in Worcester, Mass. possibly on 578 Pleasant Street and attended public schools where he excelled academically. He claims to have been born on the kitchen table. He did not appear to be very involved in sports. He was on the debating team at Classical High School. 

He attended Amherst College just before "The Great Depression" and then went on to Harvard Law School. At Amherst he said he did run track and had a great deal of difficulty passing the colleges mandatory swimming requirement, but he finally did. Wm F. Hall, his brother, said that at his graduation he was not allowed to receive his diploma with the class because he had not met his swimming requirement and that his parents were very worried about where he was as he did not attend. He apparently had gone to the president of the college's house to get a waiver so he could graduate but they did not give it to him. He received his diploma later that summer.  

After marrying Queeneze Olson, who he met during the presidential campaign of Landon and Knox, he went into the service during W.W.II in the Army Air Corp. He achieved the rank of Captain. After the war the couple moved to Pittsfield, Mass. where Albert was a lawyer for the Berkshire Life Insurance Company. Their sons William and Jeffrey were born there. After a brief stint in private practice the family moved to West Hartford, Conn. where Albert was Mortgage Loan Officer for the Aetna Life Insurance Co.

By the time of his retirement, Albert had few outside interests other than reading and short vacations to Maine. He and his wife spent much of their time at home in their later years. Albert's health failed slowly from arthritis and inactivity. He had chronic kidney stones and a bout of diverticulitis that required surgery at which time he had a small stroke. He managed for a while at home, but eventually spent the last two years of his life at Saint Mary Home, a nursing home, where he died in West Hartford at the age of 87 years.

He was smart, personable when he wanted to be, a hard worker and provider for his family. Also never one to turn away "a spot of bourbon".  He predeceased his wife by 2 years.  They are buried together in the West Hartford Cemetery.
