I don't know whether my Hall's will ever be found. I have been hunting for 30 years for them. My Grandfather was Jay Gould Hall and he was born on July 9, 1884 in Grand Haven, Michigan. His father was James Hall who died of Brights Disease when Jay was 2 years old. He also had a older brother Charles and a older sister, Aggie. His mother was Sabra Lyon Hall who was born in New York and his father was born in England. After the death of James Hall she married a man named Edwin Poole and the last we know of them they lived in Detroit. His Father was a telegrapher and Jay was also a telegrapher. He married my grandmother, Helen Humphrey (she was also a telegrapher) in 1905 in Muskegon, Michigan and my mother, Helen Sherrill Hall was born in 1907 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. My Grandparents divorced in Houston, Texas in 1915 and then Jay Gould Hall disappeared. It is like he never existed. My Grandmother was a hard woman to live with and She always told people that he was a alcoholic. I have no documented proof of that. She would never tell anyone where he was or what happened to him. In one of her good moments she did say that he had remarried and had another family. I just don't know where to look anymore. Both of my grandparents worked for Western Union. I was told that the telegraphers Union burned so there are no retirement records for them. There is nothing in the SSDI either. If there is anyone who can help me, please let me know. Elizabeth Easter
