Stewart Holland "Steve" Hall

(15 Jan 1855 - 26 Feb 1944)

He was born on one of his father's steamships that plied up and down the Tennessee River and his mother died at his birth.

Stuart is the son of John Wesley Hall and Elizabeth Holland Hall. He was one of 13 children his father had by two marriages. When the Civil War came, life was hard for those left at home. He recalled that the only diet the people of the Cumberland Mountains had for more than a year was dried black-eyed peas obtained when a Yankee boat laoaded with the peas was captured on the river.
Rumors of plenty that existed in the new land of Texas interested most of the young people of Tennessee and like many others, young Steve set out for the new frontier on Dec. 19, 1874. He came to Texarkana where he worked for a while in a big saw mill. When a big explosion in the mill killed some of the workers, he moved on and came to his Uncle Abe Hall's home near McKinney. He worked for Isaac Graves and in 1880 married the granddaughter of J.B. Wilmeth. The young couple went to live on the Graves ranch west of town. The next year J.B. Wilmeth gave them land joining his so they could be near him and his aging wife. While their home was built, their first child, Roy F. Hall, was born in the Wilmeth home. Steve and "Sannie" as she was called, were the parents of five children: Roy Franklin Hall, Artie, Ora, Sue Hall Walker, and Nugent who died following World War I of injuries sustained in the war.
The family cleared the land of its great forest trees and farmed it until 1907 when the newly built interurban track cut through the middle of the farm. No longer happy with the cut up farm, they sold and moved to the newly established town of Crystal City in South Texas. Once more the family lived in pioneer conditions, helping a new town to get started. After Princess Annie Hall died in San Antonio on her 56th birthday Steve came back to McKinney to live.
