MY GRANDMOTHER LULA WILKES HALL

This is a photo of my grandmother Lula Wilkes Hall, wife to Alonzo Hall. Her parents were The Reverend Washington Usher Wilkes and Mary Lamar Wilkes. She was born in June of 1864 and died in February of 1933 in Talladega Ala. She lived in Sylacauga Ala with her parents when she met and married Alonzo Hall. He was a widower with two children, Mamie Lucille Hall and Lyman Hall. She and Alonzo had two children, Myrtle and Samuel Wilkes Hall. Lula was a graduate of a music conservatory in Cincinatti Ohio. She enjoyed teaching piano to students in her home. Music was a life long joy to her. Her daughter Myrtle was a graduate of Judson College as a voice major. Samuel graduated from Howard College in Birmingham Ala. He majored in Latin and minored in Greek. He was an excellent tennis player and enjoyed the sport for many years.

Lula and Alonzo lived in Sylacauga where he taught English, near Lincoln Ala where he taught English, and in Talladega Ala where he was employed by the US Postal Service.
