ANDREW M. HALL
Andrew M. Hall was found this morning frozen to death in his room on Centre Street. The coroner's verdict was death due to heart failure. It is supposed that he went to his room late Friday afternoon in an exhausted condition and laid himself down on the floor near the stove to keep warm. When found this morning he was curled around the stove frozen stiff. The last time that he was seen was Friday afternoon. A number of persons saw him at that time, among whom was policeman John Beckel of Third ward. Mr. Beckel says that Hall was going towards his room and when found this morning he had on the same clothes that he wore Friday. Hall had a room in a house on Center Street where he lived by himself. The other part of the house is occupied by an old man quite deaf who was not in the habit of visiting Hall s apartments. Therefore Hall was not missed till Sunday when Ed Olassel called to see why he was not out as usual. He found the door locked and the shades drawn. He went away and called again this morning. He received no answer and on looking through a crack in the curtain saw Hall laying on the floor near the stove. Coroner C___ Lewis was notified and accompanied by Policeman Beckel. They forced an entrance and found Hall curled about the stove frozen to death. There was plenty of fuel in the house, but it is supposed that he died before he had use for more. Andrew Hall was about 65 years old and had lived in this city for about 40 years. He was a member of Co. D, 31st. Wisconsin, and until about 18 months ago was a member of McIntyre Post of the City. He was drawing a pension of $12 per month and had later petitioned for an increase of pay. The blood of the body had all settled to the left side on which he laid. This fact shows that the heart failed before the body was frozen. An autopsy was held this afternoon to inquire more definitely into the cause of his death. He leaves a wife, Mrs. E. Hall, who is at present making her home with her daughter, Mrs. Mabel Fitisello at Chisheim, Minn., Mrs. May Davison of Cassville, Wis.; Mrs. Jennie Hay of Duluth, Mrs. Sadie Antis of Milwaukee, and Mrs. Laura Latham of Albert Lea. Mrs. Latham will arrive tonight to make the funeral arrangements. [Source: "Austin Daily Herald", Austin, Mower Co., Minnesota, February 22, 1910, Page 3 Col. 3 Submitted by: Pat Esterday]

ANDREW M. HALL JR.
Andrew Hall died at his home on Hope Street Tuesday evening about midnight of heart failure. He entered the house at about 11:30 and not feeling well laid down on the sofa to rest. While lying there he was taken with a sudden fainting spell and fell to the floor. His mother hastily summoned the services of Thos. Feeley the night policeman, who in turn called Doctors O. F. Lewis and O. B. Johnson. Upon their arrival he was found to be past all physical aid and died a few minutes after. He was born in Austin Jan. 26, thirty-three years ago. His entire life has been spent in Austin, where he resided with his mother on Hope Street. He leaves a mother and five sisters, Mrs. Latham of Sioux Falls, Mrs. Antis of Melrose, Minn., Mrs. Hayes of Duluth, Mrs. Davison of Ro--------, Ill., Mrs. Fitisello of Chrisholm, Minn. This is the third time that death has entered this home within the past eight months. One son, Samuel, died May 16, 1906, and one daughter, Clara, died June 1, 1906. The blow is particularly hard on the mother who has the sympathy of many in our city in her affliction. [Source: "Austin Daily Herald", Austin, Mower Co.

SAMUEL E. HALL
S. E. Hall, freight conductor on the S. M. Division of the C. M. & St. P. Road, died suddenly today at 11:15 at his mother's home on Hope Street. The cause of death was paralysis of the heart. A few days ago Mr. Hall called on Dr. O. ?. Lewis and complained to not feeling well and having trouble with his throat. Dr. Lewis told him the indications were that he was suffering from diptheria and told him if he didn't feel better to come back and he would make a culture. That was the last Dr. Lewis saw of Mr. Hall until he was called there this noon by the news of the death. Dr. Lewis is quite certain that the disease developed after Mr. Hall visited him and that the paralysis that caused his death was due to diptheria. Mr. Hall was about town as usual today and was on Main Street but a short time before his death. He told his friends he was suffering with quinsy sore throat. He went home for dinner and stood in the parlor when attacked. His brother Andrew was present and helped the stricken man to a chair where he died. Mr. Hall was born at Crawford Co., Wis., 30 October 1866. He has spent most of his life on the railroad and has been one of the most efficient freight conductor's of the Milwaukee system for a number of years. He leaves a wife and child who are residents of Minneapolis.
