David and Hannah (PHILLIPS) HALL were one of the original settlers in Big Mound (aka Pig Mound).  When he died his land was split between his children except for 1 acre.  That 1 acre was to be used for the family cemetery.

November 1981, my cousin, his 2 daughters, my daughter and I found this cemetery.   As we walked through the farm yard into the corn field, I notice an area of thick grass and briars.   As I turned to go toward the center of the area, I saw the tombstone for David Hall and across from it was a stone for Hiram Peer and forgot never stop looking down where cows roam ...  ha!

Several of these stones are not found in any books.
