Ransom Hall to be honored Sunday Author: Duay O'Neil HARTFORD-Well-known local pastor and community leader Rev Ransom Hall will be honored Sunday, June 19, during the morning worship services at Pigeon Valley Baptist Church with a surprise celebration of his 50th year in the ministry. Hall, who pastors the church, recently celebrated his 81st birthday. Since entering the ministry, he has served several local churches and performed hundreds of weddings and funerals. Additionally, he is known for his singing talents and recently organized The Hall Family and Friends, a group of relatives and friends dedicated to the perpetuation of old-time shape note singing. The group has performed at several functions, including Music in the Mountains and the celebration of the Hartford Welcome Center's 20th anniversary. Sunday's celebration will feature several tributes to Hall by family members and friends. There will also be special music. Everyone is invited to attend.

Jimmy Daniels on Sunday, as he joined other pastors, church members, family, and friends in celebrating Rev. Ransom Hall's completion of 50 years in the ministry. Daniels, who described himself as "the son Ransom and Grace never had," credited Hall with helping him in countless ways during his own years as a minister. "One of the first things he told me," said Daniels, "was 'Be what you are all the time, not just on weekends, but seven days a week.' I've tried to remember that and follow that in my own ministry." "He also told me, "Break up your fallow ground. I've never forgotten that advice." Daniels added, "We've literally worked in the fields together," a reference to sharing work on their farms. "Once we were taking up tobacco on his farm and went to his house for lunch. Grace had just baked two butterscotch pies. He ate one and I ate the other one, not knowing she'd made them to take to someone else." For more details, please see the latest edition of the Newport Plain Talk. [S58] Marriage Certificate.
