WARREN HALL.
Well known in local political circles and in business lines as well, Warren Hall, who has served as a member of the board of public safety of Dayton, is now acting as manager of the repair department of the Dayton Motor Car Company. These interests claim the greater part of his attention yet he is also known in other connections which go to produce a well rounded development.
He was born on a farm in Butler township, Montgomery county, Ohio, March 15, 1858, and his youthful days were devoted to the duties of the schoolroom and the labors of the fields. Lessons of industry and perseverance were early impressed upon his mind. At the age of seventeen years he came to Dayton to enter the Miami Commercial College, from which he was graduated with the class of 1877. He then entered the employ of the Stoddard Manufacturing Company, with which he has since been connected. The business has since been reorganized, however, and his official connection is that of manager of the repair department of the Dayton Car Company. Mr. Hall has also been well known for a number of years in political circles and once served on the city board of elections, while in March, 1906, he was appointed by Governor John M. Pattison on the board of public safety as a republican. He served until August 1, 1909, in this capacity, proving capable and efficient in the discharge of his duties. He is recognized as one of the strong and effective workers in the ranks of the republican party in Dayton and stands for all that is progressive in citizenship.
On the 3d of October, 1888, Mr. Hall was married in Xenia, Ohio, to Miss Minnie F. Fleming, and they have three sons and one daughter: Herbert F., Gaines P., Kenneth A. and Margaret N. The parents belong to the First United Brethren church and are well known socially, the hospitality of many of the best homes of the city being freely accorded them.
