Emma Knox, Daughter of George A. and Penlope Silvey Knox, w as born in Howard County, Missouri, January 24, 1867. Sh e grew to young womanhood while living with her parents i n Missouri, graduating from high school and finishing her c ourse by taking advantage of all the educational opportunit ies then offered at the college in Glasgow, Mo. She majore d in the languages and was able to speak several and was co nversant with Greek and Hebrew. She delighted in the achie vements of this early experience until the very last. Sh e led her class in oratory and debate and received recognit ion with medals and prizes.
In 1894 she moved to Oklahoma with her parents and taught i n the schools near Enid for approximately 6 years. Her rec ord as a school mistress is an admirable one and the record s of county schools will tell the story of her neatness an d efficiency.
In May, 1900, she was united in marriage to Mr. A. A. Hall , the ceremony being performed in the new cottage home on N . Van Buren in Enid, which had been erected for the purpos e and in which Mrs. Hall continued to reside until the tim e of her death. Mr. Hall preceded her in death 9 years ago , and from that time until the time of her own departure sh e labored under the weight of her sorrow and expressed hers elf in the habits of faithfulness which she had formed in e arly life.
Although no children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Hall, thei r Paternal love manifested itself in the adoption of a daug hter and in their interest in orphan children. It was Mrs . Halls ambition to conduct an orphan's home.
Mrs. Hall gave her heart to God as a young woman while stil l residing in Missouri and upon coming to Enid was active i n the early organization of the Christian church here. Sh e was a long time member of Central Church and faithful t o its services of every kind. A remarkable record of atten dance had been achieved by Mrs. Hall, and if our memory fai ls us not, she hasn't missed more than one Sunday a year fo r more than 30 years, all of which was in Central Church.
Mrs. Hall labored under tremendous fear for her life, and i t is a peculiar premonition that she had that her end woul d be as it was. The shock, however, to her relatives and f riends was none the less severe when the message came tha t while on her way to church Sunday evening she was struc k and killed by an automobile.
Faithful to her church to the very end, her fidelity can we ll be emulated by all of us these days.
Mrs. Hall leaves us to mourn her departure, the daughter, M rs. Bertha Nell Kindred, of Temple, Oklahoma, 2 brothers W. K. Knox of Waynoka and J. W. Knox, of Enid, 2 sisters, Mrs . Mary A. Crites of Enid, and Mrs. Kate Whitworth of Murtau gh, Idaho together with the daughter's children and many ot her relatives and friends.
Mrs Hall at the time of her going was 64 years, 8 months, a nd 17 days.
