Charles M. Hall Taken by Death
Member of Board of Trustees and Friend of the College Dies
Had Gained Fame as Practical Chemist
Made Fortune by Discovery of Process for Manufacture of Aluminum—Burial in Oberlin
A message has been received announcing the death of Mr. Charles Martin Hall at Daytona, Florida, at 3:30 o’clock Sunday afternoon, December 27th. Dr. George E. Hall and Mr. Homer H. Johnson will be in Washington on Wednesday to bring the body home for burial. There will be memorial services on Thursday afternoon at 2 o’clock in Niagara Falls, N. Y., in which city Mr. Hall has resided for many years, and the funeral service in Oberlin will be at the residence of Dr. George E. Hall at 2 o’clock on Friday afternoon, January 1st.
Mr. Hall’s death was caused by internal hemorrhage, and although he has been in poor health for the last six or eight years, the word of his death came as a shock to his wide circle of friends in Oberlin.
Mr. Hall was born in Thompson, Geauga County, Ohio, December 6, 1863. He took his preparatory work [at OHS, class of 1879 and] in Oberlin Academy and graduated from Oberlin College in 1885 with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. He received the degree of Master of Arts from Oberlin College in 1893 and the degree of Doctor of Laws in 1910. Since 1905 Mr. Hall has served as a member of the Board of trustees of Oberlin College and has been one of the largest contributors to Oberlin College.
In 1886 Mr. Hall invented the electrolytic process for the manufacture of aluminum, conducting his experiments here in Oberlin under the direction of Professor Jewett. He commenced the commercial manufacture of aluminum with the Pittsburgh Reduction Company, now the Aluminum Company of America, of which he has served as vice president since the year 1890. At the time of the Hall invention aluminum sold for $12 a pound and was as costly as silver and was slightly used; as a result of the invention the price of aluminum has been so reduced as to make it a common metal of commerce, selling at the present time for about 20 cents a pound. In 1911 the American Society of Chemical Industry awarded the Perkin Medal to Mr. Hall; this medal is awarded annually for important discoveries in applied Chemistry.
Mr. Hall had gained international fame as a practical chemist for his discovery in relation to the manufacture of aluminum. In the August issue of The World’s Work appeared a special article giving a history of his discovery and of the development of the manufacture of aluminum in the years following. Mr. Hall is called in the article “The American Creator of the Aluminum Age.” He was only a year or two past his majority when he made the discovery while working in the laboratory here. He was graduated in 1885 and succeeded in his efforts in the following year. Because of his youth, he had difficulty in getting capital interested in his project, but finally succeeded. At the outset one small mill was started, with a total output of only 100 pounds a day. This was then sold at $2.00 a pound. Just before the plant opened the price in Paris was $4.00 a pound. In 1911 the three plants of which Mr. Hall was the head had an annual production of 40,000,000 pounds and the price had fallen to about 20 cents a pound.
President King will conduct the services at Niagara Falls and will be in charge of the final service to be held her Friday.
During the last ten years Mr. Hall’s gifts for various purposes in connection with the work of Oberlin College amounted to $194,700. These gifts have been for general endowment, library endowment, the improvement of the college campus, the removal of the academy department from French and Society halls, and the purchase and the equipment of the Johnson property for academy purposes, a part of the cost of the new organ for Finney chapel, the purchase of certain property needed for college purposes in Oberlin, repairs to the women’s gymnasium, books for the library, the automobile lawnmower for the campus, and gifts for the running expenses of the college.

Reported Missing in Sea Crash [James T. Hall]
Second Lt. James T. Hall, pilot in the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve, is reported missing in an airplane crash at sea. Word was received by Lt. Hall’s parents, Professor and Mrs. James H. Hall on Monday, while they were vacationing in New York.
The last word the Halls had from their son was the latter part of September, at which time he was located at San Diego, California, awaiting instructions for sea operations.
Lt. Hall took his Naval pre-flight work at Iowa State College and his early flight training at Olathe, Kansas. He graduated from Corpus Christi, Texas, and at that time shifted to the U. S. Marines. From there he was sent as a pilot to Jacksonville, Florida, for advanced training in dive bombing.
No details were contained in the telegram received by Mr. and Mrs. Hall.
Word Received of His Death
Lt. James T. Hall
In a telegram received late last Saturday afternoon the Navy Department officially informed Professor and Mrs. James H. Hall of the death of their son, Second Lieutenant James T. Hall, 23, in an airplane crash at sea on October 20.
The wire stated that a letter would follow, but as of this morning (Thursday) the letter had not been received and no further details are known here concerning the nature of the accident. Several friends of Lt. Hall have expressed the belief that when the letter arrives it may still leave reason to hope that he will be found alive. Many stranger things have happened during this war, they point out.
Lt. Hall, a Marine Corps dive bomber pilot, was first reported missing in a telegram received by Mr. and Mrs. Hall on October 25, while they were in New York City.
O. H. S. and O. C. Graduate
Born in Wooster on June 24, 1920, James Truman Hall had lived in Oberlin since he was a year old and attended the public schools here, graduating with the high school class of 1938, although he spent the school year of 1937-38 traveling and studying in Europe in the company of his parents.
He graduated from Oberlin College with the class of 1942 and went immediately into training as a U. S. Navy Flier.
In high school he was an able and popular student, an active leader in the affairs of the band, orchestra, Hi-Y and Mathematica Club. His major college subject was French, and his chief extra-curricular interest the activities of the Dramatic Association, in which he was a leading performer and business manager as well. He was a member of the varsity Glee Club and played varsity soccer.
Lt. Hall’s pre-flight training was received at Iowa State College and his flight training at Olathe, Kansas, Corpus Christi, Texas, and Jacksonville, Florida, where he transferred to the marine corps and became a dive bomber specialist. The picture above was taken when he was Naval ensign.
It is believed that the accident on October 20 took place some place in the South Pacific battle area.

Sudden Death of Prof. Hall
Prominent Educator Passed Away Wednesday July 3, at Birmingham
High Tribute Paid by President King at Funeral Services Held Last Friday Afternoon
The sudden death of Professor Lyman B. Hall, which occurred in Birmingham, July 3, was a great shock to the people of Oberlin where he had devoted so many years of active service and was loved and esteemed by every one. His death was due to heart failure and he expired on the porch of Dr. Boss where he had stopped for medical assistance. He was on a bicycle trip with his two nephews and feeling ill he stopped at the office of Dr. Boss. While the latter was preparing some medicine for him, the end came. The remains were brought to Oberlin and funeral services held Friday afternoon, being conducted by Dr. Bosworth and President King. The latter paid a high tribute to the life and attainments of Professor Hall. His address is as follows:
I should have been deeply regretful, if circumstances had prevented me from sharing in this service in honor of one with whom I have been associated from the beginning of my own teaching, and whom I so genuinely honored and loved.
Lyman Bronson Hall, son of Joseph Alonzo Hall and Sarah Bronson Hall, was born in Richmond, Vt., August 10, 1852. His parents moved to the vicinity of Oberlin, to make the education of their children possible, when Lyman was four years old. He had his earlier schooling in the Oberlin public schools [OHS class of 1866], and in the preparatory department of Oberlin college. His natural self-dependence revealed itself in the fact that he began his teaching at the age of sixteen, and was self-supporting thereafter. He was a student in the preparatory department for two years, 1865-1867, and in the college department most of the five years, 1867-1872, stopping in the midst of his college course, however, to earn money for his expenses. He graduated from college in 1872, at the age of twenty, and was enrolled as a student in the theological department, 1872-1873 and 1877-1878, taking in 1878 the degree of Master of Arts and Bachelor of Divinity. His theological training was unusually extended between four and five years. The year 1873-74 and a portion of the year 1874-75 was spent in study at Union Theological Seminary, breaking the second year at the Seminary to return to help his father, who was in failing health, on a farm in Michigan. He always counted this farm work a valuable part of his experience. At the same time he served a little church in the vicinity. In the year 1876-77 he went to Harvard to continue his theological study, receiving the degree of Bachelor of Divinity from Harvard in 1877. He was a broadly trained man. He had graduate study after 1877 not only in Oberlin Theological Seminary but also at the University of Berlin, in the year 1888-89; at Johns Hopkins University, Chicago University, and Harvard University in the years 1893-1895; and spent a year in travel and study in England in 1905-06.
His first teaching in Oberlin was as a teacher of Grammar, in the preparatory department, the year after his graduation from college, while he was a student in the theological department. Upon his graduation from the theological department in 1878, he was made Tutor in Latin and Greek, and has served continuously on the Faculty of Oberlin College from that date. He held the position of tutor for five years. He was then Associate Professor of the Latin and Greek Languages from 1883-1888; Professor of Latin Language and Literature, 1888-1899; Professor of History of the ten years 1899-1909; and has held the chair of English and American History since 1909. He was Registrar of the College for the two years 1901-1903. He had always had a great interest in history, and had given much time to it, and it was at his own earnest desire that he was transferred in 1899 to the chair of history. The two years of graduate study in 1893-95 were devoted to special preparation for work in history, and taken at his own expense, to insure such training for the new field as his own ideals required. He had a minute knowledge of large portions of his own country, and of its history; for he was an unremitting worker, and was constantly extending his knowledge to the last.
His academic record shows, thus, that he had just completed forty years of continuous teaching service of the College; and his connection with the College, begun as a student in the year 1865 covered fifty-three years altogether. It is impossible to measure the value and significance of his contribution to the life of the college in this long and loyal connection.
This period covered fully the years of transit from the older to the newer Oberlin, and it was natural that he should have cherished as one of his chief hopes for the period following retirement from active teaching, the privilege of making a careful historical record of this transition period. The College had lost much in the defeat of that aim through his death.
In his student years he had planned to be a foreign missionary, but he felt the strength of the call to the work here at Oberlin, and believed that it afforded him as large an opportunity as he could expect abroad. He gave himself with absolute devotion to his work, and it was characteristic of him—when his physicians told him, in 1915, that he might hope to lengthen his life considerably if he would give up his active work and go to such a climate as that of California—that he definitely chose, not to lengthen a little of his life, but to continue such service as he could render even with diminished strength.
The last two or three years his work has had to be done with a consciousness, on his own part, of decided limitations of strength; though he went forward so uncomplainingly that even those of his colleagues closest to him hardly understood his real condition. But to the little inner circle who knew the facts, his sudden death came not altogether as a surprise.
Professor Hall united with the First Congregational church of Oberlin in September, 1864, at the age of twelve; he transferred his membership to the Second Congregational church in 1879, and gave himself with unstinted devotion to a many-sided service of the church through all the years.
He was also a charter member of Alpha Zeta literary society.
In the spring of this year he was appointed by Governor Cox a member of the Ohio History Board, created for “the collection and preservation of material bearing upon Ohio’s participation in the war with Germany.”
My own recollections of him include my wonder, as an undergraduate student, at his boldness in attempting and successfully accomplishing his graduate address from the Theological Seminary, without previously writing and without notes; my impression of the accuracy of his scholarship as a teacher of Latin, when I began my own teaching in that department; and my admiration for his rarely thoughtful participation, through many years, in the Monday evening Young People’s Meeting in Council Hall.
No one could know him with any intimacy and not recognize his rare candor; his great unselfishness; the natural courtesy and thoughtful kindness, growing out of such unselfishness, and manifested in every relation of life; the unusual independence of his own point of view; and the strength and depth of his convictions and his willingness to stand for them at whatever cost might be necessary.
He believed with all his heart in the value of the work that Oberlin was doing, and found continuous joy in giving himself to that work, even though, in the last two or three years, there had been a narrowing margin of strength available.
He was a deeply religious and broad-visioned man, cherishing always the highest Christian ideals for himself, for his College, for his church, for the Nation, and for the world. Those who have known him through the whole period of his teaching, and so were bound to him by many ties, have now become a little company, but all his colleagues alike will mourn a companion beloved and honored, whose friendly presence will be daily missed.

Beloved Pastor Remembered, Aaron McQueen Hamlin
On May 16, 1928 in Oberlin, Ohio, Aaron McQueen Hamlin was born to Irene and Aaron Ruben Hamlin. [He died June 30, 2006 in San Diego, Calif.] He was the third of four children blessed to this union. He attended elementary and high school in Oberlin [and graduated from OHS in 1946]. At an early age, he confessed his faith in Christ.
Aaron served in the army for two years. In those early years, he had a love for the game of football and actually aspired to be a professional football player until the Lord called him into full-time ministry. He attended Nyack College, in Nyack, New York.
Aaron was a founding organizer of the NBEA in 1963, which he served faithfully and enthusiastically, in such capacities as Field Director, Executive Director and President. His work was so valuable to NBEA that he was even nicknamed "Mr. NBEA." He served on the Boards and/or as an addition to a number of organizations, including the National Association of Evangelicals, the Friends Church, World Relief, World Vision, Voice of Calvary, Mission America and North Portland Bible College. One of his major motivations was to bring to the body of Christ his ministry of reconciliation. He also gave to other groups, organizations and churches, large and small, across the country and in other parts of the world. A gentle man with a true servant heart, he had the gift of encouragement and exhortation.
Among his pastorates were a Christian & Missionary Alliance church in Pasadena, Calif. and Piedmont Friends Church in Portland, before taking the pastorate of Portland's Mallory Avenue Christian Church, where he served until retiring during the summer of 2005. He instituted many programs there to benefit the people and the community. Aaron was a recipient of many honors. One for which he was particularly proud was a few years ago, having his alma mater Nyack College award him an honorary doctoral degree in recognition of his great service to the body of Christ and to society at large.
"Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, 'Write Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.' 'Yes,' says the Spirit, 'that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them." Rev. 14:13.

Edith Brand Hannah
Mrs. Ian C. Hannah (Edith Brand) died after an extended illness in a nursing home in Sussex, England, on Dec. 23, 1947. She was the daughter of Dr. James Brand and Juliet Tenney Brand, and she grew up and attended school in Oberlin, where her father was minister of First Church. [She graduated from OHS in 1892.]
After graduation from [Oberlin] College [in 1897], she studied art for a year at Cooper Union in New York City, after which she taught in the Oconto, Wis., high school and a private school in Great Barrington, Mass.
The year 1901-02 was spent in studying art in Paris, following which she held a position in Boston as a book illustrator. In 1904 she married Ian C. Hannah of Chichester, England, and they lived in Windsor, Nova Scotia, where Mr. Hannah was president of King’s College. Returning to England in 1906, they resided in Sussex until 1915 when Dr. Hannah became professor of church history in the Oberlin Theological Seminary and they came to Oberlin to live.
Her art career continued for the remainder of her life, and she gained international fame as a portrait painter and as illustrator of several of her husband’s books. Among these were “Sussex” (1912), “Berwick and the Lothians” (1913), “The Heart of East Anglis,” and “Capitals of the Northlands” (1914). Their cooperation on “The Story of Scotland in Stone” gained probably the most widespread recognition; the “London Times” said of her work in a review: “The book is richly illustrated, and a delightful feature is the series of drawings by the author’s wife, both charming and faithful.”
In 1925 they went to Scotland to live on and care for Dr. Hannah’s ancestral estate near Edinburgh. Dr. Hannah followed his career as extension lecturer for Oxford and Cambridge Universities, and together Dr. and Mrs. Hannah continued their interest in architecture and archaeology. Mrs. Hannah’s artistic ability was further recognized when, on a number of different occasions, several of her portraits were selected for exhibitions at the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh.
Dr. Hannah, a Unionist, was elected to the House of Commons in 1935, and he remained a member until his death in 1944. Mrs. Hannah, although bedridden for two years before her death occurred, sent greetings from Sussex last June to her class at its 50^th reunion, and accompanied the greetings with a poem which she had composed for the occasion.
Surviving her are her three sons: James, a professor at Durham University; W. Walton, t x’37, who has a parish in Sussex; and John, x’27, who has a church in Selkirk, Scotland. Two brothers also survive: Judge James T. Brand, ’09, of Salem, Oreg., and Charles Brand, ’95, of Roseburg, Oreg.; as do three sisters: Mrs. Mary B. Ruggles (Mary Brand, p.e. ’99) and Helen Brand, ’11, of Oberlin; and Mrs. James J. Hayes (Margaret Brand, ’13) of Oklahoma City, Okla.

Kathleen Thompson Harbaugh
Kathleen Thompson Harbaugh, our mother, was like the wild-flower garden she planted and tended for 30 years behind her South Toledo home. Her garden's profusion of color, like her love of family and music delighted both eye and heart. She talked sweetly, taught music, and offered home-made granola or delicious vegetable soup to those lucky enough to know her.
She passed away Tuesday evening, September 2, 2003, at the Health Care Center of Swan Creek Retirement Village at the age of 86. She was surrounded by her family, husband, Ted and sons, Bryce, John and Ross, whom she liked to call her finest achievements. She was born March 12, 1917, in Fenton, Illinois. Known as a very successful violin teacher, she reached hundreds of youngsters (ages 3-20) during 26 years, including the last week of her life, teaching with the Suzuki Method. A life-long learner, she attended 21 Suzuki workshops around the world including one in Japan with the Shinitchi Suzuki himself.
She graduated from [OHS in 1934 and from] the Music Conservatory at Oberlin College, where she studied with Maurice Kessler and was the first student to enroll as a violist (rather than enrolling as a violinist and switching to viola). She played in the Chicago Women's Symphony, the Toledo Symphony (for ten years), was violist of the Tolora String Quartet with Betty Foster, Pat Rafferty and her son, Ross.
Kay sought to integrate all God's children. She believed that music could help accomplish this goal because it has the power to civilize those who could listen to Mozart or Beethoven with both heart and mind. Musical education was vital to her. "Practice every day" was her motto, and she made her boys practice piano or cello every day before they went out to play. "Attend a music concert every month", she directed the parents of her students. "Make your music say something". In Toledo, she was an active member of Mu Phi Epsilon professional fraternity, the Monday Musicale, and the Euterpeans. She was also a member of Park United Church of Christ Church on Glendale, where she taught Sunday School with her husband, Ted and organized a church orchestra and was a humble, free-spirited, and politically progressive voice.
She is survived by her husband of 63 years, Ted; her three sons, Bryce (Judy), John (Pam) and Ross (Bernice); her sister, Phyllis (93 years old), and her grandchildren, Molly (Ted), Will (Hannah), Jessica, Brooke and Nick, as well as many friends. We love you Mom. We remember your legacy of cheerful service, beautiful music and optimism for all.
Two memorial services will be held: at Swan Creek Retirement Village dining room at 1 p.m. on Friday, September 5th and at Park Congregational Church, December 27 at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions to her three main charities: Park Church, Grace Community Center and the Nature Conservancy, or to research on Multiple Myeloma. The family would like to thank the staff of Senior Independence and Hospice for their special care and support of Kay during her illness.
