General Notes: Husband - John W. Hallam

---

At the age of ten years he commenced work as a clerk in a clothing store in his native city, where he remained until he was fifteen years of age, when he embarked for his own account in the general grocery business, being at that remarkably early age proprietor of a store in the borough for about three years. At the end of that time he sold out, and traveling south and west, spent a year away from home. At the age of twenty years he began taking upon himself the responsibility of accepting contracts for various improvements in and about Washington, which became the nucleus of his extensive business in that line. His brother united with him, and from 1887 the firm name was "R. T. Hallam & Sons," John W. being general manager and principal of the establishment. The line of work engaged in was chiefly stone foundations, paving, sewer building, etc. During the year 1891 they contracted for and completed some 49,000 square yards of street paving, 30,000 feet of curbing and nine miles of sewers in the borough of Washington, besides some 5,000 yards of paving in Monongahela, amounting in all to over $200,000 of work.
He was a Republican, and for six years or more served as a member of the borough council, his first election to any office being when he was but twenty-two years of age. Socially, he was a member of the I. O. H. and Jr. O. U. A. M. He served as one of the directors of the Chamber of Commerce of Washington. Of his personal habits it may be said of him that in no form did he use tobacco, and never during his life did he taste liquor of any kind.
