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.”

I don't know her connection to my Quesenberry's, but the unusual name of "Isacie" is probably derived from "Isaac". If this marriage is not just a clerical error (see marriage notes), then she must have been young at the time of the marriage, since there is no match for the name in the 1880 census. Another possibility, albeit slim, is that she is the Isaac B. Quesenberry, age 11 months, listed in the 1880 census as a son of Peter Quesenberry & Julia Wade. I cannot find any later record of that Isaac. Censuses fairly often get the gender wrong on a baby or young child, if the enumerator misunderstands the given name. They didn’t usually ask about gender, just name, and inferred the gender from that. I’m not identifying them, though, because there is a strong possibility that this marriage never existed and was just a recording error.

Rowan County Marriage register A, p. 11, lists marriage of Samuel M. Hall to Isacie Quesenberry on 19 July 1897.

However, I am beginning to suspect that this entry may be a clerical error. I haven't found any other record of an Isacie Quesenberry, and the marriage license for Samuel’s marriage to Ida Riddle and the 1910 census both list the marriage to Ida as his second, not third. Note that Isaac Quesenberry gave bond surety for the marriage of Samuel M. Hall and Aretta Thurber on 19 July 1887 (license book 1, p. 140.) The coincidence of date and name is suspicious, especially in the context of a marriage that leaves no other evidence. So it may be that the clerk who was filling out the marriage register mistakenly recorded the 19 July 1887 bond with Isaac Quesenberry as bondsman, as a 19 July 1897 marriage, with an Isacie Quesenberry as bride.

If there really was an Isacie Quesenberry who married Samuel Hall, she must have died shortly after the marriage.
