MRS. LEICESTER C. HALL

Mrs. Nevada B. Hall, wife of Lieutenant Leicester C. Hall 
passed away early yesterday morning.  She was a native of 
the State for which she was named, and about 31 years old.  
She was the second daughter of Mr. And Mrs. James Butler, 
discoverers of Tonopah.  They, with Mrs. M. H. Whitaere, 
her sister, and Frank J. Butler, her brother, survive her.

Our community has sustained grievous losses; there are 
voids in our friendships, affections and affairs that can 
never be filled.  Few or none of the departed will be 
missed more than Mrs. Hall.  In her were found not only 
every womanly excellence of character and attractive 
personality but also a mentality and high order of 
capability, developed and rounded out by education.  She 
was not a seeker for prominence in affairs in which she 
enlisted, but was sought out for leadership because of 
her merits.  She had served as the Inyo representative 
of the State Federation of Women’s Clubs.  As chairman 
of the Inyo Republican Central Committee she was one of 
the first women in California to fill such a position.  
She was an officer of the Order of Eastern Star and 
valued and efficient in any position.

Before her husband entered the national service she was 
his competent assistant in his professional work.  More 
recently she had been assisting the Selective Board, in 
a clerical capacity.
