George Hall was born at Troy Corners, Michigan, on February 5, 1854 to William and Jane Robinson Hall.
He was married to Addie Bissell on March 10, 1875, at Pontiac, Michigan. Addie was born in Pontiac, Michigan, on September 4, 1854.
In 1881 George Hall came with his brother Ralph and the Walton brothers, to Sanborn, which was then the end of the railroad. After the crop was in, the men came further into the state seeking homesteads. Mr. Hall preempted Section 24 and took a tree claim on Section 22, both in Wyard Township. The Halls lived on the farm for many years before he retired to Carrington.
The Halls had eleven children: Frank, LeRoy, Clarence, Charles, Herbert, Gertrude, Allen and Alfred (twins), Hozel, Porter and Rowland.
Mrs. Hall died June 17, 1912 and Mr. Hall died July 11, 1932. They are buried in the Carrington Cemetery.
