Good day listers, hope you are all enjoying this pleasant November weather. I am looking for any HALL family members, and will provide particulars in a second. At the Penetanguishene (Ontario) Centennial Museum we have a display featuring the mayors of the town, from its incorporation as a village in 1876, to it's incorporation as a town in 1882, to the present day. We are about to update this display, re-framing the photos to create a more "pleasing to the eye" display. We have a couple of blank spots, and that's where I'm hoping some Hamilton/Wentworth area folks can help, or maybe direct me to some descendants. Zalmon Artus HALL was born c 1843 to Asa K HALL and Sarah HALL. On the 1891 census it says his parents were both born in Quebec, but he is listed as being born in Ontario. On October 9 1872 he married Jemima E. WRIGHT age 23, daughter of Charles & Mary Jane WRIGHT of Binbrook, Wentworth. Both listed as Wesleyan Methodist. Zalmon's occupation was agent and bookkeeper. I'm not sure when they moved to the Penetanguishene area, but on the 1891 census he and his wife were living here with their children Charles A. HALL age 15, Jenny E HALL age 8, Erastus K HALL age 6 and Zalmon L HALL age 2. He was the mayor of Penetanguishene in 1896 and 1897. In 1905 we have records that indicate he was once again living in Hamilton, Wentworth. He died 19 March 1915 in Acton West of pneumonia. Address listed as 87 Sherman Avenue South. We are hoping some descendants are still in the area, and may have a photo they'd allow us to reproduce for our display. If Zalmon HALL's biography sounds familiar to you, please contact me either on or off list. It would be nice to have a complete photo gallery of all our past mayors. I am sending this to both Wentworth and Simcoe County lists in case any of the Hall family members stayed in this area. Thanks for your time. Hoping to hear from you soon. Deborah Crawford
