Francis Chamberlain Hall was born in Winchester, Mass., September 23, 1878, and died at Marr's Camp, near Moosehead Lake, Me., October 1, 1912. His father was Alfred Stevens Hall, a Dartmouth graduate of '73, and his mother Annette M. Hitchcock. He prepared for college at the high school of Winchester, and served through the Spanish War in the Fifth Massachusetts Regiment. He was a member of the Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity. For the first four years after graduation he was mainly engaged in engineering work in the employ of the Boston and Maine Railroad and of the Mississippi River Commission. In 1906 he bought a large cattle ranch of about twenty thousand acres seven miles from Alpine, Texas, and managed it successfully, until, having been much harassed by repeated droughts, he decided to sell out, and did sell in July last. He had had two attacks of the grippe, and upon the sale of his ranch was seized with a nervous exhaustion and a mental depression beyond the power of reason to control. In September he went into Maine with his parents and a company of friends, and the outdoor life seemed to be bringing improvement. His parents had returned home, and he had made arrangements to return on the first of October, but early that morning he was apparently taken with an uncontrollable depression, and suddenly took his own life. A letter written to his father by an attorney of Alpine, Texas, contains the following tribute: "I had the pleasure of knowing your son as few knew him, and a truer, squarer, more upright man never lived. He had a reputation for honesty, generosity, and veracity in our country which few men possess ; his word was his bond, and every one recognized the fact. If he had a fault, it was in being too generous and noble in dealings with his fellow-men."

Secretary, Wm. Carroll Hill, 35 Bailey St., Ashmont, Mass.
