Notes for Mahlon Minyard Hall
The 1900 census listed him as age 3, born Nov 1896.
His WW I draft registration card, filed 12 Sep 1918, records Minyard Mahlen Hall, age 19, residence Virgie, Pike Co., Ky, born 3 Nov 1898, occupation coal mining, employer Ky Black Fuel Co., nearest relative Phena Hall, same address.
His death certificate records Mahlon Hall, age 36 years 8 months 3 days, born 3 Nov 1897 in Pike Co., Ky, died 6 July 1934 in Pikeville, Pike Co., Ky, married, husband of Valeria Davis, occupation cobbler - shoe shop, father Esaw Hall, mother’s maiden name Pherina Osborn, both born in Pike Co., Ky, cause of death fractured skull automobile wreck, informant Esaw Hall, Jonancy, Ky, burial in Joe Trivette Cem.
Be careful not to confuse him with his first cousin Mahlon Hall born 15 Apr 1896 in Pike Co., son of James L. Hall and Margaret Hall.
Notes for Mahlon Minyard & Valeria (Family)
This family is no relationship to me. They are in my database only because there were two Mahlon Halls of nearly the same age in Pike Co.
Billy Joe Hall, son of the other Mahlon Hall, married my dad’s first cousin Joyce Hall, daughter of Bethel Hall and Leafie McClain, so the other one is in my database as a father-in-law of Joyce. When researchers google on Mahlon Hall and come across my web site, I want them to find both records and have enough information to be able to tell which of the two is the one they are connected to. (There was also a Mahlon Hall born in Oct 1898 in Floyd Co., son of Sylvester Hall and Elizabeth Newsom, but I am not entering him because he is less easily confused.)
