ROBERT
T. HALL, deceased, was a prominent pottery
manufacturer and eminent citizen of East Liverpool, where he
was born Mar. 23, 1877, and died Nov. 18, 1920. He was
the son of Robert and Elizabeth (McHenry) Hall.
Robert Hall was born in Pittsburgh, Pa., but when a
young boy moved to Beaver County, Pennsylvania,, where he
grew to manhood at Frankford Springs, not far from East
Liverpool. During the Civil War he served three years
in the 140th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, his military
record including Fredericksburg, the wilderness and fourteen
others. After the war he learned the carpenter's
trade, and for many years was a contractor and builder in
East Liverpool. He was the founder of the Hall Lumber
Company, and an organizer and first president of the
Citizens' National Bank. He was also interested in the
Hall China Company, all of East Liverpool, but his time was
largely given to the affairs of the Hall Lumber Company and
to his contracting business. He was an active member
of the Presbyterian Church and of the Grand Army of the
Republic and was a Republican.
Robert Hall married Elizabeth McHenry,
who died in 1880, leaving four children: Mary married
Frank Simmers; Charles, a resident of East Liverpool;
Robert T., the subject of this sketch, and
Elizabeth, married Josiah T. Herbert. Mr.
Hall's second marriage was to Rosa
Robb, and to this union the following children were
born: William, deceased; Ralph, a
resident of California; Ethel resides in Cleveland,
Ohio, and Harold, a resident of Delaware, Ohio.
Robert T. Hall attended the schools of East
Liverpool, Kenyon College, a military school in Gambier,
Ohio, and was a student at Wooster University at the time of
the outbreak of the Spanish American War. He was
commissioned second lieutenant, 8th Regiment, Ohio National
Guard, in 1897, and was commissioned a similar rank of
Company E., when his command was mustered into the United
States service, April 26, 1898, for service in Cuba. He saw
active service in Santiago, San Juan Hill, Aguadores and El
Caney, being with his company from July 7 until August 18,
1898, and was mustered out the following November 1.
After his return from the army, Mr. Hall entered
the office employ of the United States Pottery Company of
Wellsville, Ohio, there continuing until 1901, when he
became associated with the newly organized East Liverpool
Potteries Company, a consolidation of six of the going
pottery concerns in and about East Liverpool. In 1904
that consolidation was dissolved, and the Hall China Company
restored to the original ownership, the Hall family.
Shortly afterward Robert T. Hall became the business
head and one of the principal owners of that concern.
He took hold of the business at a time when the pottery
industry of this country was in anything but a prosperous
condition. The manufacture of the original line of
earthenware was gradually discontinued, and Mr. Hall
became the pioneer in this country, if not in the world, in
the production of a completely viterous, white-lined,
fire-proof cooking ware. The extraordinary merit of
the goods was soon recognized, and from that moment success
was assured. The demand grew so rapidly that it was
difficult to increase production capacity to keep pace with
it. Eventually it became necessary to add a second
plant, which was completed and placed in full operation but
a short time before Mr. Hall's death. He had
not only given to East Liverpool one of its most important
industries, but one unique in the country, and of such merit
to add much to the reputation of his native city, and of the
pottery industry of America.
As general manager and one of the principal owners of
the Hall China Company, Mr. Hall became a
dominant figure in the business life of his city, and in
January, 1920, when the Hall China Company bought the
Goodwin plant and remodeled it, it gave him
additional and greater responsibility and prestige. He
was not only secretary - treasurer and general manager of
the Hall China Company, and one of the best known men
in the pottery business, but was a director of the Potters'
National Bank, Potters' Building and Savings Company, member
of the Chamber of Commerce, and had a hand in every public
enterprise of merit put forth in the interest of East
Liverpool.
Mr. Hall's ancestry being purest American, while
in sagacity, integrity, and public spirit he was a fine
example of the American business man and citizen.
Genial and friendly, he had a host of friends whose society
he enjoyed, but he possessed a faculty for self-enjoyment,
being fond of golf and all out-of-door sports. Mr.
Hall took a deep interest in the East Liverpool Country
Club, and was its first and only president until his death.
This club, which he aided in organizing, has fine grounds
and is one of the leading country clubs of the Ohio Valley.
He was a Republican, and a member of the Emanuel
Presbyterian Church. He was affiliated with East
Liverpool Lodge, No. 258, Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks, and the Beta Theta Phi college fraternity.
During the World War, in which he was anxious to serve as a
soldier but was refused the opportunity, he took an active
part in all war activities, and the success of the various
Liberty Bond and war charities campaigns may in a large
degree be attributed to Mr. Hall.
On June 20, 1905, Mr. Hall married
Millicent Everson Thompson, a daughter of John C. and
Charlotte (Winteur) Thompson. Mr. Hall built a
beautiful home on Park Boulevard, East Liverpool, Ohio, and
there he spent his happiest hours, indulging in his great
love for flowers, plants, trees and shrubs in making the
grounds attractive. Three children were born to Mr.
and Mrs. Hall: Robert Thompson; John Thompson, and
Everson. Mrs. Hall continues her residence with
her children at the Park Boulevard home. They are
members of Emanuel Presbyterian Church, in which Mr. Hall
is an active member.
