LAWRENCE S. HALL
LAWRENCE S. HALL.--Well-known among the really progressive and therefore, very naturally, successful dairymen operating along scientific and also very practical lines, is Lawrence S. Hall, of Folsom City, a native son proud of his association with the great commonwealth of California. He was born at Shingle Springs, Eldorado County, on January 3, 1881, the eldest child of the late Daniel T. Hall, and as a child attended both the Shingle Springs and the Sutter schools, the latter at Twenty-first and L Streets in Sacramento.
When thirteen years of age, Lawrence S. Hall started out on the range as a rider after stock, and so it may be said that, like a goodly number of the finest type of Western men, he was reared in the saddle. He is, therefore, a thorough judge of livestock, and enjoys an enviable reputation in respect to that field of industry which is the result of hard work for years, under conditions of exposure, fatigue and the absence of many comforts enjoyed by those living for the most part under more comfortable town environments. In December, 1916, he entered the dairy business as a partner of J. A. Russi, and he has been successful to no small degree, both in dairying and the raising of stock. He now has a string of seventy-five milch cows of the Durham breed, and goes into camp in the high Sierras every spring, returning for winter range near Folsom in the fall.
At Sacramento, on September 2, 1904, Mr. Hall was married to Miss Frances Russi, the youngest daughter of Antone Russi, the pioneer now deceased, whose memory is held so dear to all who know him; and one child, a son named Marion, has blessed this union. He was born on December 17, 1906, and is attending the Keeney school at Sacramento. Mr. Hall is a member of Parlor No. 83, Native Sons of the Golden West, of which he is ex-president; and he also belongs to Lodge No. 6 of the B. P. O. Elks at Sacramento. Mr. and Mrs. Hall are fortunate in a wide circle of devoted friends, and Mr. Hall exerts an enviable influence among those with whom he has dealings, owing to their confidence in his experience and integrity.
