Career

Ernest Raymond Hall was born in Union County in 1880 . Nothing is known about his youth. It is very likely that he moved to the Arizona Territory in the early 1900s and settled there in what was then the northern part of Yuma County , which was later separated and become La Paz County . His brother Dick Wick Hall founded the Salome Community in the McMullen Valley there in 1904, together with Charles H. Pratt and Ernest Pratt . Before 1917, Ernest worked as a miner in the nearby Harcuvar Mountains at the Cuprite Mine . He then sat in the Arizona Senate from 1917 to 1918 . Before the end of his term, he volunteered in the US Army to the First World War to serve. He signed up to the 27th Engineers and then went to France . In the Senate he was considered excused from June 10, 1918. At this point he was also married, as Senate President HD Claridge sent his wife a letter on June 18, 1918. There he indicated that she would receive a "Service Flag" because of:

"... our heartfelt sympathy as well as pride, in him and his patriotic action in joining the forces for our country to battle for our great democratic principles, in the world war."

Upon his return, he was elected Secretary of State of Arizona in 1920. Hall held the post from 1921 to 1923. In his re-election in 1922 and his renewed candidacy in 1934, he suffered a defeat to the Democratic challenger James H. Kerby .

Hall also worked as a farmer, stenographer, newspaper journalist, real estate seller and justice of the peace in Salome throughout his life.

He died in 1959 in the Arizona Pioneers' Home in Prescott ( Yavapai County ) and then at the city cemetery of Mesa ( Maricopa County buried).
