SIGOURNEY D. HALL.

Sigourney D. Hall is a partner in the firm of Hall Brothers,
automobile dealers of Fort Collins, handling the Ford car. He was born
in Sterling, Colorado, February 5, 1887, a son of Dr. J. N. and Carrie
G. (Ayers) Hall, who are mentioned in connection with the sketch of
Oliver W. Hall on another page of this work.

Sigourney D. Hall was reared and educated in Denver to the time
that he went east for the further advancement of his education by study
in the University of Pennsylvania, from which in due course of time he
was graduated. He then went to the Ford factory in Detroit, Michigan,
and worked in different departments in connection with the building of
the car until 1911, thus gaining intimate and accurate knowledge of the
construction of the car. Next, In connection with his brother, he took
the Ford agency for Fort Collins, Colorado, and they now have a garage
that is seventy-five by one hundred and thirty feet. They have carried
on the business continuously since 1911 and their patronage is today
extensive, their annual sales reaching a very large and gratifying
figure.

On the 12th of August. 1914, Mr. Hall was united in marriage to
Miss Lucile Barkley and to them have been born two children: Richard
S., born May 5, 1916; and Josiah N., who was born December 24, 1917,
and was named for his paternal grandfather.

Mr. Hall is a member of the Knights of Pythias lodge. His
political support is given to the republican party, of which he has
been a stanch advocate since age conferred upon him the right of
franchise. His religious faith is that of the Presbyterian church and
his life is actuated by high and honorable principles and worthy
motives that make him a man among men. In business he is alert and
energetic and is building up interests of large and gratifying
proportions. Fort Collins has reason to be congratulated on that he
cast in his lot with her citizens, for his influence is always on the
side of advancement and improvement as relating to material,
intellectual or moral conditions.
