His obituary in the Knightstown Courier-Times of 3 Nov 1941 reported “Samuel M. Hall, 73 years old, died at the Ralph Maple convalescent home east of Knightstown at 2:15 Saturday afternoon after a lingering illness.
Relatives surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Nina Allman of Brownstown and Mrs. Lela Fadely of New Castle; three sons, Theodore Hall and Orville Hall both of New Castle; a step-son, Carl Elam of New Castle; one sister, Mrs. Alice Quisenberry of Knightstown; and three brothers, Buddy Hall and Henry Hall of Morehead, Ky, and Walter Hall of Oklahoma City, Okla.
The body was removed from the Fox and Macer mortuary to the home of the son, Theodore Hall, 2804 Grand Avenue, and this afternoon was to be taken to the Church of God, Eighteenth and Walnut Streets, for funeral services to be conducted at 2 o’clock by the Rev. Herman Ast. Mr. Hall was a member of the church. Burial was to be in Southmond cemetery.”

Notes for Samuel McKee & Ida Mae (Family)
Rowan County Marriages, Book 3, p. 333, records marriage on 7 Sep 1899 of Samuel M. Hall, age 31, residence Morehead, farmer, born Rowan Co., father born Bath Co., mother born Indiana, to Ida Mae Riddle, age 28, residence Morehead, born and parents born in Bath Co., at Green Baldridge's by James H. Gregory, witnesses Fair Warren & Green Baldridge, listed as second marriage for both bride and groom. (It is rather unusual that Ida's surname is recorded as Riddle even though she was previously married to Samuel Elam, and stayed married to him long enough to have two children.)
