Biographical history
Walter Reynolds Hall was born in 1871 in Staffordshire, England. In 1912, Hall was living in Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England. It appears Hall came to Langley around 1913 and worked as a bee-keeper and farmer. The Hall farm was on Telegraph Trail near Fort Langley. A small log cabin on the property was originally built by John Stevens Pratt and extended in 1890. Walter Reynolds Hall died September 14, 1961 in Nanaimo, B.C. He is buried in the Fort Langley cemetery beside Mary Hall (1868-1957).
