Tho last moment arrived, and having bade an affectionate farewell to his weeping bride, he entered the cars and was taken to an Illinois regiment, to which he had asked to be assigned. In tho Forty-second Illinois Volunteers he went lo the-front, and none were more frequent in writing home at all possible opportunities than he. The letters from his wife came regularly at first, one informing him of the birth of a son; then they began to drop off.

Finally there was a long silence, although he continued to send home his pay. Ohe day when tho soldiers' mail was handed out there was a letter for Frank Hall which brought sad news. It was from a friend in Wisconsin who, in a scarcely legible hand, wrote to acquaint him with the death of his wife. In 1863 Hall was disabled and received a discharge at Atlanta, going to a hospital for a time. On mending he re-enlisted, this time in the Thirteenth Ohio and served until the close of the war.

Ho determined to continue in his country's service, and enlisted in the Sixth Cavalry of tho regular servico, being. sent to Texas.
