CHILDREN OF CORINNA 44 LEWIS AND ISAAC D. FAXON, HER FIRST HUSBAND.

91. i. John Hall, was born June 6, 1815, at Aurora, Portage county, Ohio, and married, June 21, 1838, Esther Terrell, who was born September 5, 1816, at Ridgeville, Ohio. He died July 4, 1891, at Elyria, Ohio, where he had spent the most of his life. He had but slight educational advantages, as his father died when he was but six years old. He, however, through the aid of an uncle, Hon. Theodore S. Faxon, of Utica, N. Y., was able to qualify himself for his chosen profession, that of a civil engineer, and was employed as such on the Erie canal, the Auburn and Syracuse railroad, the Atlantic and Great Western railroad, and the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern railroad. He was elected Sheriff of Lorain county, Ohio, in 1844, and served his district in the State Legislature for two terms. He was a Justice of the Peace for twenty-one consecutive years, was chosen Mayor of Elyria, and held numerous other important positions of public trust and honor, the duties of which he always discharged with ability, and the strictest fidelity. He was a man of positive convictions, which he always boldly maintained; but he had a temper so genial, and an address and manner so pleasant and gentlemanly, that his opponents could always be reckoned among his warmest personal friends. He was also generous to a fault towards the poor and unfortunate. In 1875 he was admitted to the bar by the Supreme Court of the state, but never practiced in the profession to any extent, being actively engaged in other business.
