Hall Ivory A

IVORY A HALL was born in Shapleigh, ME in 1841, the son of Ivory and Louisa M (Thompson) Hall [ME VR]. He died on 22 Dec, 1895 in Shapleigh at age 54yrs,2mos,28das and was buried in Hope Cemetery, Kennebunk Village [YCCI, pg 835].

Prior to the 1870 census, he was married to OLIVE M CLARK, who was born in 1848 and died in 1920 [grave stone]. She is buried with husband. I have yet to look up her death rec and retrieve family data.

A Shapleigh native, he was born, lived and died in town, where he was a farmer. By the time of the 1890 census, when not even 50 years old yet, he had gone blind [1890 Vet Sched]. He had applied for a pension in 1881, perhaps due to this [his file not viewed yet].

After Ivory's 9 month service in the 27th ME, he reenlisted into the 2nd Maine Cavalry as a private, Company M, and served from 7 Oct, 1864 to 6 Oct, 1865.
