Note: Information concerning the William Hall Family came from Aunt Margaret Russell Boyd who married Robert Murray Boyd, brother of Lula Mae Boyd Hall. This collector received the information from Diane Hall-O'Dell,

Hall-Boyd Family Records by Diane Hall-O'Dell

My grandparents are dead. So I rely upon my Grandma Vina Hall's family tree notes and my father's memory (my father's siblings are dead). My grandmother's Hall family source was Maudie Hall. Maude lived with her Aunt Margaret RUSSELL BOYD after Lula Mae (her mother) left Boss (her father). I hope I haven't confused you. Aunt Margaret RUSSELL BOYD married Robert Murray BOYD, brother to Lula Mae BOYD HALL. The Robert BOYDs lived in a house in Nashville, Tennessee. After he died in an accident, she took in roomers. My paternal grandparents, Bennie and Vina HALL, lived with Boss HALL in Murfreesboro for a short time after they married in 1919 and then lived with Aunt Margaret for a few years before moving to Detroit, Michigan before my dad was born in 1924. Bennie and Vina Hall's closest friends in Michigan were Gustin and Rena RUSSELL, related to Margaret RUSSELL BOYD. Bennie first worked at the Ford factory. Later, he and Guston worked as street car conductors for the DSR (Detroit Street Railway) Many of the Hall relatives lived with Bennie & Vina temporarily upon coming to Detroit until they had a job and someplace to live.

Growing up, my father saw more of his mother's family than his dad's. His strongest memory of his Grandfather Boss was his banjo playing. My dad laughs at the idea his Grandfather Boss lit cigars with $100 bills. From references others made, Dad always thought his Grandfather Boss was 'dirt poor'. My Grandfather, Bennie Hall, had told me his father raised and bridle broke mules to sell to the U.S. Army, and the family wasn't very well off. I understand they were Methodists. (My grandmother, Vina Hall, was a Southern Baptist and had a rather jaundiced view of her father-in-law and brothers-in-law Hall, feeling they were a bad influence on her husband, Benjamin Hall.) From all accounts, they knew how to have a good time. Most were not long lived.

From what we know, Lula Mae left Boss before Ben & Vina lived with Boss, and Maudie (& Lula) had gone to live with Aunt Margaret Boyd in Nashville. Lula Mae eventually moved to Detroit. We have no knowledge of her remarrying. My Dad remembers going to her funeral when he was fourteen. We have her funeral memorial record from the funeral home (see below), and there's no mention of a husband.

I remember as a child my (Great) Uncle John HALL, a barber by trade, as always laughing and joking around. When they lived in Detroit, he and his wife, Ola, would come to play canasta with my grandparents. My Dad and I agree, it was always a treat to see Uncle John who had a great sense of humor and was always telling jokes. He enjoyed drinking and playing cards for money, both of which my grandmother disapproved. They had a daughter, Gladys. They later relocated to the Nashville, Tennessee area.
Uncle Robert HALL was a character. He was good natured, but could really stretch the truth. He liked to appear well-off. Perhaps he got that from his father, Boss (in reference to the comment about Boss lighting a cigar with a $100 bill). I remember my grandfather Bennie HALL as friendly and easy-going. He would give a stranger the shirt off his back and loved to talk with people, especially the ladies. The men in that family all appeared to have a eye for the ladies.

Many thanks to Diane for adding character and color as well as detail to the Hall family.
