Hall, George E.
Hall, George E., Storekeeper, Waikanae. Born at Bedford, England, in 1851, Mr. Hall arrived in Melbourne in 1872, but after eighteen months in that city, came to New Zealand. Settling on the West Coast, he engaged in the business of store-keeping at Greymouth, but sold out in 1893 and took the Club Hotel, Greymouth, which he conducted for nine months. Two years ago he sold out of the hotel and bought the business of Mr. Cruickshank, storekeeper, Waikanae, which he has carried on successfully since that date. For fourteen years Mr. Hall was secretary of the Greymouth Lodge of Oddfellows. He is also a Mason and a Druid.
