Funeral services will be held at Joseph L. Gawler’s Sons’ undertaking establishment tomorrow morning, June 18, 1921, at 11 o’clock.

Capt. Hall was one of the best-known officers of the Coast Guard, and one of the most highly esteemed, both in the service and by a host in civilian life. He served as a commissioned officer in the United States Navy during the Civil War and had a distinguished Civil War record.

He was born at Warren, R.I., June .23, 1842, and was appointed from that state as an officer of the revenue cutter service on March 8, 1871. He was promoted through the different commissioned grades, and on May 27, 1895, was commissioned a captain. He made an enviable record for efficiency and faithful performances of duty in many important assignments during his long career in the service. He was, for a number of years, prominently connected with the development of the revenue cutter school for the training of commissioned officers, now the Coast Guard Academy, and served as its superintendent from 1899 to 1903. He served a detail as superintendent of construction of the former life-saving service, and was assigned to duty in connection with the building of new vessels for the revenue cutter service.

He was retired for age on June 23, 1907, and promoted to the next higher grade on the retired list on account of his Civil War record.

For a number of years past, Capt. Hall made his home in Washington, D.C. for the greater portion of each year, usually spending his summer months in his home state of Rhode Island. He was compelled to undergo an operation at the Emergency Hospital a few days ago. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Sarah H. Hall, who resides at the Somerset Apartment, on 16th Street.

Capt. Hall was a member of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion and of the Army and Navy Club of Washington.
