James Harvey Hall, one of the successful agriculturists of Osage Town-
ship, Camden county, is a native of Laclede county, Mo., born October
12, 1861, being a son of James and Mary (Porter) Hall, the father a
native of Virginia, and the mother of Kentucky.  The father, with his
brother William, immigrated to Laclede county, Mo., quite early, and
located twenty miles south of Lebanon.  They entered land which was 
wild and unbroken, and remained there until the breaking out of the
late Civil War, when the father enlisted, and while in service took a
fever and died, as did also his brother.  The mother came to Laclede
county with her parents when about eight years of age, and, when grown,
was married in that county to Mr. Hall, by whom she had two sons:
William Edgar, who died February 3, 1888, and James Harvey.  The mother
was again married, to John Frieze, who is also deceased.  By the last
marriage she had four children: Louis, George, Ina B. and Arty.  The
widow now resides near Lebanon.  James H. Hall was reared and educated
in Laclede county, Mo., and in 1881 he took a trip to Texas, where he
worked on a cattle ranch.  In 1885 he moved to where he now lives, and
is the owner of 200 acres of good land, with about seventy-five under
cultivation.  He was married May 5, 1886 to Miss Edna Selby, who was
born in Camden county, February 16, 1869.  They have one child, Thomas
E., born October 7, 1887.  Mrs. Hall's parents were Legrand and Rebecca
E. (Neal) Selby, natives of Ohio, but now deceased.  She is their only
living child, and was reared by her paternal grandparents, Thomas and
Huldah Selby.  Mr. Hall is a wide awake, stirring young man, is a
successful farmer, and deals quite extensively in stock, especially
