Brief obituary published in The Friend:
"Died, at his residence near Harrisville, Ohio, on the morning of the 14th of 12th month, 1883, William Hall, in the 80th year of his age, a member of Short-creek Monthly and Harrisville Particular Meeting. This dear Friend manifested through the course of a long and useful life, a becoming concern for the advancement of the cause of truth and righteousness in the earth, and the maintenance of the principles of the Society of Friends - ever dear to him. As the time of his departure drew near, and the shackles of mortality seemed loosening, he evinced that his hopes of salvation rested not on works of righteousness which he had done. His bereaved family and friends are comforted in believing that, through the mercies of his Savior, he has joined the company of those who 'shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more: neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters; and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.'"
