Granville D. Hall

[2] Born in Harrison County, Virginia, he received a private education, then at the age of 17, began teaching school.His published articles about the Wheeling Convention, later republished as "The Rending of Virginia" are now the only available accounts of those deliberations, as the minutes taken by the three official reporters were lost in a subsequent flood of the Ohio River.By this time, Hall had moved to Glencoe, Illinois and begun raising a family, as well as served as the village clerk for decades.[3] Hall died at his Glencoe home and was buried at Memorial Gardens in nearby Skokie, Illinois.Some of his papers, including those relating to the Wheeling Convention, are held by the West Virginia Regional History Center.
