Notes:

Reports from the Limerick Ancestry show that Mary Lee was indeed born in Ballyfeerode, Ireland, her mother a teacher and her father a shopkeeper and small farmer. Her birth records show that she was eight years older than her spouse William Edgar Hall, the Irish being notorious for fudging their stated age. The large Hall family Bible lists Mary G. Lee's date of birth as June 6, 1877 which is at variance with the documents sent to William C. Hall from Ireland!

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.
