A glance at historic homes
Born in 1894 as the only son of prominent citizens, L.R. and Julia Hall, Alfred Alexander Hall’s future appeared bright. Education was the principal factor of his young life. He attended grade school in Pittsburg, Bingham Military Academy in North Carolina, Castle Heights Military Academy in Tennessee and Tyler Commercial School of Business in Tyler, Texas. Predictably, he followed his father’s footsteps into banking and began his career as a bookkeeper at the Pittsburg National Bank in 1914. He married Ruth Eclair Clayton, niece of the owner of the Clayton Hotel, in 1916. Returning home from their honeymoon, they resided with the L.R. Hall’s until their home could be completed next door. Despite the loss of his father in 1922, A.A. Hall’s career in banking soared. He was promoted to cashier in 1922, and advanced to vice president and member of the board of directors in 1934; he was elected president in 1937 and remained active in the bank until his death in 1961. The Halls were active in so many ways to support the community and their fellow man...too many to list here. A.A. and Julia raised four children: Julia, Lee, Kathy and William, and they attended the Methodist Church.
