Herbert Spencer WALL

Donated from the family records of Ronald Wall 2004:

  Herbert Spencer Wall was born on July 11, 1903 in Sharon.  He married Ruth Naomi Hackett on May 15, 1928.  Herbert and Ruth lived in Sherman, Ohio near Barberton in Summit County until about 1953 when they moved back to the family farm to help my grandfather run it and care for my grandmother.  Herbert and Ruth had five children: Leonard; Maynard; Charlotte; Winifred; and Paulette.  Herbert died on liver cancer on January 20, 1960 at the age of 56 and Ruth returned to their home in Sherman. Later in life she lived with her daughter and son-in-law, Paulette (Jean) and Rev. Clifford Smith. Ruth died in Columbus, Ohio on July 27, 2005.  I remember Uncle Herbert as a hard-working, by appearances a serious man but underneath lay a sense of humor.  Aunt Ruth was one of the most kind women I ever knew.
