Biography[]
Born in Langdon, New Hampshire, Hall went to the public schools, North Yarmouth Academy, and Westbrook Seminary. In 1852, Hall received his medical degree from Harvard Medical School and moved, that same year, to Monroe, Wisconsin, where he practiced medicine.
During the American Civil War, Hall served in the 6th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment as surgeon of the regiment.[1] In 1870 and 1871, Hall was elected to the Wisconsin State Senate; although he would later be described as "a Democrat in politics", he was elected as an "Independent Republican" over the official Republican nominee.[1] In 1891, Hall moved to Medical Lake, Washington, where he retired. He served on the United States Board of Pension Examiners in Spokane, Washington. Hall died in Medical Lake, Washington.[1][2][3]
