Conrinued This story unfolds fiom newspaper articles copied verbatim: Word comes today that Mrs. Hiram Hall, who lived about eight miles south of town, fell in the well this morning and was drowned. She was the oldest daughter of Jeff Hassler. 18 August 1897, Crossville Chronicle Last Sunday a warrant was sworn out for Hiram Hall and Melinda Hall by T. J. Hassler. They were brought into town Monday. The case came before Esquires H. 0. Newberry and C. L. Deatherage yesterday at 10:OO a.m. Twenty-four witnesses were summoned by the state and four or five by the defense. 25 August 1897, Crossville Chronicle W'SChap~L - A goodly number from Big Lick and Burke attended the funeral services of Mrs. Ida Hall here Thursday. Mrs. Ida Hall, the wife of Hiram Hall, found dead in the well at S. H. Hall's on August 8" . Mrs. Melinda 'Linda' Hall states that the deceased went to the well after water and after she had been gone about twenty minutes, the old lady called her. Receiving no answer, she went to inquire and spotted the bucket in the well and the muddied water. W. A. Vandewer and Fred Beyer were mowing near there and Mrs. Hall called them to come and take Ida out. They found five gashes cut in her head. Mrs. Hall and her husband separated some time ago but they reunited about six weeks ago. The deceased was a member of the Methodist Church and we trust she has gone home to rest. The remains were interred in the local Chapel cemetery on Thursday afternoon. She left a host of friends to mourn her loss. 25 August 1897. Crossville Chronicle Hiram Hall Big Lick - By request of J. T. Hassler, father of Ida Hall, who was murdered by her husband, Hiram Hall, and who was buried at Hale's Chapel, she was taken up last Thursday and , brought to the Croft's Graveyard near Big Lick and laid by the side of her half-sister. 1 September 1897, Crossville Chronicle s 'uo!ssaJuo~ S.I~BH u! uau!lm '~681isn%ny 81 pue auolsqluoi laq lad '~681isn3nv gBu!aq auo 'BPI JOJ qieapjo saiep om1 are aJalU, .rasodmoa pue ssaulooa laapad ql!~alej s!q lam pue po3 s!q u! aauapguoa passardxz - uamaq u! m!q laam o$ Ile payse pue sdalslooj s!q u! ~olloj01 loo uaqlo paoleM aH .am!ra aqj jo uo!ssajuoa llnj apem aH -- a3ualuas alnmmo3 loo p1no.u rouraao3 - Bleuad aql p!ed seq 11eH :66gt 1!rdv ZT uo 2u!~ollojaqt papodar rapodar al?uory3 allpssor3 v .I!J~VJOw~ 1 aw JOJ alep uo!maaxa aw lasa1 pue la!plaa pa1103 aw 01 auroa peq woa aw llaj u!ll!mam 'I!E~U!
