Biography contributed by Faithe Jones

Son of Joseph and Elizabeth HALL of Ulverstone, Tas.

About midday yesterday the demise of Mr. Albert Joseph Hall occurred at his home. Lloyd Street. The deceased was the youngest son of Mrs. and the late Joseph Hall, who resided for many years in the Upper Castra district. He was in his twenty sixth year, and at the early age of eighteen he enlisted for active service in the army, and after serving several years in France, returned home. For tho past six years he had been suffering from tho effects of gas. He had been unable to work during that period, and began to get worse some twelve months ago. Deep  sympathy is felt, for the bereaved widow, and the other members of the family.

The remains of returned soldier, Mr. Albert Joseph Hall, were laid to rest yesterday afternoon in the Anglican cemetery, in the presence of a large gathering of residents, among whom were members of the Loyal Star of the Sea Lodge, M.U., I.O.O.F., and a number of his comrades. The rector, Rev. A. H. Roake, conducted a short service at the house, concluding the ceremony at the graveside. Mr. A. S. Lakin read the funeral  service of the order, of which deceased was a member. The chief mourners were Messrs. H. and F. Hall (brothers), F. Winter, F. Hutton, and H.  Bonde (brothers-in-law). The pallbearers were Messrs. R., C., and J. Hall, and W. Smith, and the coffin was carried to the grave by Messrs. H. A.  Conroy, G. Windsor, M. J. Hay, and J. Bennett. A large number of wreaths was received, among which were those sent by the Loyal Star of the Sea Lodge and returned soldiers.
