Reuben Hicklin Hall (1812-1890) and Mary Ann Strange (1814-1872) moved to Henry County from Washington County, Georgia, by ox wagon in 1845 and built a log home just south of here with slave labor. They were the parents of five children, and four grandchildren became prominent newspaper men, with Grover Hall receiving a Pulitzer Price in 1928. Reuben later married Keziah Hardwick (1840-1907), and their two children were Robert Fowler Hall (1874-1961) and Helen Hall Barnes (1876-1909). The log home passed to Robert Fowler Hall and then to his eldest son, Eddie Hickland Hall, a long time county clerk, and to his male descendants. In 1908, Robert Fowler Hall and Oberia Dukes Hall (1876-1951) built a Queen Ann cottage style home of heart pine. They reared thirteen children. The house had four fireplaces, four bedrooms, and a parlor, and carbide lights and an indoor toilet were added later. Their farm had 750 acres of sugarcane, corn, cotton, and peanuts. Robert Fowler Hall represented Henry County in 1918-1922 and 1938-1942 in the Alabama House and 1926-1930 in the Senate, and his legislation resulted in the construction of State Highway 95 in 1929. The home stands on Hall's Spur road, and William Loring Hall, his youngest son, became the owner in 1962.
