HALL, VERNON ETHELBERT

DEATH TAKES REV. V. E. HALL FORMER METHODIST PASTOR

PASSED AWAY AT LA GRANDE, OREGON, MONDAY EVENING AT 5 O'CLOCK OF CEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE - FUNERAL SERVICES AT 2:30 TODAY

It was with saddened hearts that the people of Payette, particularly members of the Methodist church, heard the news of the sudden and untimely death of Rev. Vernon E. Hall, for many years the pastor of the Methodist church in this city, who passed away at La Grande, Oregon, Monday evening.

Rev. Hall was universally loved while here, both as pastor of his church and as a citizen. He was deeply interested in every movement for the uplifting of the community, labored hard for the success of the Boy Scouts movement and was for a long time secretary of the Kiwanis club. He was studious and brilliant and his sermons were eloquent and overflowed with his love for the Master and his solicitude for the spiritual welfare of his fellowmen. The following account of his death and beautiful tribute was written for the La Grande Evening Observer by Mabel E. Morton of that city.

"Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens" - so did the Rev. Vernon E. Hall read his text for his morning sermon Sunday, one of a number he had been preaching as being especially appropriate to the approaching anniversary of the day of Pentecost. And from that text, with his subject "The Religion That Dares," the Methodist pastor preached one of the most gripping, intense and appealing sermons he has ever delivered in La Grande - then after leading his people in singing the hymn of the church "Oh Jesus, I have promised to serve thee to the end," he lifted his hands for the benediction, not the ritualistic benediction as has always been his custom, but a tender appeal for protection and guidance -- then as the choir was chanting the Old Testament benediction, he left his pulpit, and for the last time.

Final Sunday Outstanding
Sunday was an outstanding day in the Methodist church -- that was frequently remarked at different services. The day marked the close of the first half of the conference year. In talking to the young men in his Sunday school class, a group studying the Sermon on the Mount, Mr. Hall had seemed to have unusual power and the boys had been impressed in a new way. So it was at Epworth League in the evening, and also in his evening informal address, one of a series of studies of racial relations.

And so, when the word went about town last evening about five o'clock that the pastor had passed on, young men who had sat in his classes the day before, young men and young women who had studied with him in Epworth League, older folks who had listened to his earnest and stirring appeal, were stricken with sorrow. To the young people he had been a leader such as they had never had before, he had been their friend, their counselor. He had yearned for them, and worked for the, sacrificed for them, and no doubt his zeal for them, as for every department of the church, exhibited in untiring labors were largely contributory to the stroke which resulted in his going.

Mr. Hall was taken ill shortly after retiring Sunday night. His condition was alarming from the first, and he became unconscious some time before his death occurred, at 5 o'clock yesterday evening, a cerebral hemorrhage was the cause of his death.

Funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock in the church, with Dr. Hamilton, of Boise, in charge. Interment will take place in the Summerville cemetery. The body is at the Snodgrass and Zimmerman mortuary.

Born in Illinois
Vernon Ethelbert Hall was 56 years of age on the 14th of February. He was born at South Elgin, Illinois, February 14, 1874. His mother moved to Iowa when he was a small boy and as his step-father was a Methodist minister, his boyhood days were spent in Methodist parsonages in eastern Iowa. He attended Cornell college, Iowa, and later was graduated from Upper Iowa university in 1898. The following year he attended the Boston Theological seminary and in 1899 was admitted to the Upper Iowa conference. He was a member of this conference until 1910 when he to transferred to Montana. In 1922 he was sent to the church at Payette, Idaho, which he served for seven years, coming then to La Grande in 1928.

He was married to Miss Kate Simonds, October 10, 1900, at Fayette, Iowa. They were the parents of six children, two of whom are deceased. Charles Vernon who died in infancy, and George Simonds who died at the age of 16 years. The surviving four are Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Daniels, of Weiser, Idaho, Ruth Margaret, William Edward and Patricia Ann at home.

Mr. Hall's devotion to his home and his family was beautiful and was met by great affection and loyalty on the part of each member in the home. He loved music and flowers, and his dahlia beds last summer, in which he had many choice varieties, some of which he had perfected himself, were a source of pride and enjoyment. Generosity and hospitality were strong characteristics. He was a preacher of power and great earnestness, his thinking was logical, his attitude toward life was wholesome, he was broad minded in his views and considerate of those who did not think as he did.

Mr. Hall's only other affiliations outside his church was with the Masonic fraternity. He was raised a Master Mason years ago and was at present identified with the blue lodge at Payette, Idaho.

A particularly sad feature of the passing of Rev. Hall to the people of Payette and southern Idaho is the fact that he was soon to have succeeded Dr. Harry Hamilton as district superintendent of this conference and would have been with us a great deal.

HEIZER, WILLIAM SEWARD

William Seward Heizer was born at Lawrence, Kansas on July 7, 1861. In 1864 he, with his parents, and two sisters, moved to Medipolis, Iowa. At the age of seven years he united with the Presbyterian church at Kasuth, Iowa, to which faith he has always been true.

On March 6, 1907 he was united in marriage to Mary Ellen Greenlee at the Baptist church in Boulder, Colorado. To this union were born two children, William Earl and Ellen L. both of Payette, also two children by a former marriage, Mrs. Albert Lake of Payette and William Seward Heizer, Jr., of Cascade, Idaho, and two step-sons John R. Greenlee of Payette and Everett L. Greenlee of Comin Lake, British Columbia. Seven grand children and one half sister, Carrie Heizer Braden of Wellman, Iowa. These with the wife, still survive to mourn the loss of a kind, loving husband and father. (Unreadable) of the last two years he has been failing in health, but always had a kind and loving word for his family and a ready smile for his many friends.

He passed away very suddenly from this life on January 21, 1931, at the age of 69 years, 6 months and 14 days.

In the passing of William Seward Heizer the family not only suffered a great loss, but the entire community, for he was a loyal, useful citizen, and in deeper friendship one could appreciate more fully his noble traits of character.

The funeral was held Sunday afternoon from the Methodist church in Payette, conducted by Rev. H. F. Knight, assisted by Rev. Sam Ballinger, his former pastor in Payette, and among his remarks on his life he said in part, "His presence in the pew was an inspiration."

The many friends that gathered to pay their last respects to him and the beautiful floral offerings were a silent token of the high esteem in which he was held. He was layed to rest in the Weiser cemetery.

We wish to thank and express our appreciation to the many friends who were so kind and helped us during the recent bereavement of our husband and father.

Mysterious Disappearance of Liveryman Swan Hill

MISSING SINCE MONDAY NIGHT

Fear Entertained That He Fell Into the Street Railway Ditch - The Canal Drained This Morning to Admit of a Search Being Made

Swan Hill, proprietor of Hill's livery stable at main and Eleventh streets, has been missing since 5 o'clock Tuesday morning, and fears are entertained that he has been drowned in the street railway company's ditch. Mr. Hill is 64 years of age and has lived in Boise since last winter. He formerly owned a farm in the Payette Valley. He has raised a large family of boys and girls, who are all well to do.

Mr. Hill often slept in his livery stable, where he had a good bed. He was active and attentive to business, preferring to remain on night duty and let the younger men attend to the business during the day. He was on duty last Monday night as usual, and admitted a horse to the stable about 5 o'clock Tuesday morning. That was the last time he was seen.

His family became greatly alarmed for his safety and inquiry was made at every point where he might have gone. He did not take a horse from the stable, and no trace of him could be found anywhere within walking distance of the city.

The street railway company's ditch runs close to the side of the stable. An open door leads out to the ditch, and the bank at this point is soft and yielding. It is suspected that he might have walked out of the door and into the ditch when only half awake, and thus was drowned.

A careful search was made of the ditch yesterday afternoon with the hope of finding some clue that might clear up the mystery. At midnight after the cars stopped running, the ditch was drained. The water was not low enough for the search to begin until 3 o'clock the hour when the Statesman went to press.
