Notes
General:
"Charles Bascom Hall (by Rev. N. H. Chamberlain) was born in Sandwich, September 3, 1830, and died in the same town in the house where he was born, January 27, 1881, in the fifty-first year of his age. He was the only child of Jonathan Bascom Hall and Clarissa Sears, both of the lower Cape, who came early in their married life to Sandwich and were always counted among the most thrifty and respectable of the townsfolk. The Halls have been always men of business thrift and integrity, and come of good Pilgrim stock. Jonathan B. was a son of Jonathan Hall and Abigal Bascom. Abigal Bascom was [daughter] of Rev. Jonathan Bascom, born m 1740 at Lebanon, Conn., graduated at Yale College, 1764, and settled at Orleans, 1772: where after a pastorate of thirty-five years, "an able minister, devoted to his work with pious heart, of a happy disposition, somewhat facetious, always kind," he died 1807. There has never been better blood on the Cape than the Sears', as the success of the family in literature and business in the country at large proves.
These facts of ancestry undoubtedly furnish the key to the unique and pronounced, and to say truth, the unusual character of their descendant, Charles Bascom Hall. The strain of his ancestry was strong upon him all his life. The writer of this memoir remembers him at seven years of age, as a red-cheeked, cheery boy, with large, brown eyes; lively, happy, always with some humorous joke behind his smile, and with a native good humor which kept peace with all his schoolmates, unless under some sharp wrong which he was never backward in resenting in the fashion of sturdy and self-respecting boyhood. In his case, as his life showed, "the boy was father to the man." The events of a life, so gentle, and withal so useful as Mr. Hall's, are easily recorded, and in this case they all agree in revealing the nature of the man behind them. Educated both in the public schools of Sandwich and in the private seminary of Rev. Frederick Freeman, he entered at sixteen, as a clerk, the store of which he was soon afterwards owner, as he remained until his death. It was outwardly a drug store. It became, more and more, an office where he transacted a large and varied business. For twelve years he was postmaster, under both the
309
Pierce and Buchanan administrations; for many years justice of the peace, notary public, pension agent, the first treasurer of the Sandwich Savings Bank, a director in the Barnstable County Fire Insurance Company. These public trusts unmistakably show in their number the strength of the public confidence in his business integrity and ability. Another proof of the deep-rooted and abiding confidence of his fellow citizens in his public usefulness and integrity is found in the fact that though differing from the majority cf them in his politics, they elected him moderator of their March town meeting for nearly twenty years, an office which he filled with much dignity and success in the dispatch of town business. Two other facts in his citizenship complete his official record. He was a charter member of DeWitt Clinton Lodge, A. F. & A. M. He was for his lifetime an interested and active member of the First (Unitarian) parish in Sandwich, and gave both time and money freely for its support. In that ancient, mystical order of free masons, with its teachings of the brotherhood of man, and the equality of the good in the presence of the Great Architect of the universe, his friendly nature found a congenial home, where he could serve others according to the ethical laws of the order. As a member of the Sandwich parish, he merely carried out the law of his own Pilgrim ancestry as stated by Rev. John Robinson in his pathetic letter to his Plymouth brethren: "Accept and follow the truth wherever it may be found," and was a Unitarian both from tradition and conviction.
It is a truism hardly worth repeating, that every man is individual, with his own mental, emotional, and physical make-up in which he differs somewhat from every other man. It was exactly in this makeup that Mr. Hall was unique and individual, though he still belonged to a class, though rather a small one, as we rate and estimate men. Mr. Hall was a well rounded man with virtue all round his character\emdash what we usually call a well-balanced man.
Many men may have either as much intellect, or as much heart, or as much conscience as he, but it rarely happens that a man has so happy an adjustment and balance of these three gifts. For instance, some men are amiable and quiet in outward behavior because they have not intellectual strength enough to be greatly provoked at anything, or heart enough to be greatly moved by distress, or conscience enough to stand bolt upright against a wrong;\emdash mere negative men, whose mental impotency passes for the virtue of a peaceable character. It was the nice adjustment in Mr. Hall between head, heart, and conscience which became to those who knew him such a comfort and satisfaction. His ability in business was saturated by his kindness of heart. To help a poor Irish woman to get news of her absent son, to help a son to send a draft across seas to his mother, or a soldier to get
310
back pay from the government, these and a thousand other unpaid and generally unknown services pleased his friendly nature, and his life was full of them. But on the other hand he stood firm by his principles in church and state, and the amiability of his nature had always for comrade a clear, strong brain. He had more in him to control than many, and he controlled and portioned out his nature better than some of us. His life therefore was, as the phrase runs, in good form.
Two points more, visible in a life like his, deserve mention. Such lives are the substances out of which human civilization is always recreating itself in a constant and peaceable development of human interests and affairs. Such men are the administrators, so to speak, of society. Other men may go down to the sea in ships, or out to battle fields: may travel in foreign parts: ma)- emigrate; may amuse themselves in the ten thousand nothings of an idle life;\emdash fed to satiety on luxuries of the cost of which they never earned a dollar \emdash consume the world's wealth to which they never contributed anything,\emdash and die, leaving nothing but a sad memory and a handful of dust and ashes.
Men of affairs like Mr. Hall, with patient industry, toil in their stated place; advise, provide, make investments, watch over funds in trust; save property in its ten thousand forms from loss or robbery \emdash the driving wheels of the "world's economy, and rest well in honor after their toil and vigil. Such lives remind one of that famous award of King David to his followers at the brook Besor: "But as his part is that goeth down unto the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff. They shall part alike."
It was in social life, however, that Mr. Hall's kind nature best revealed itself; for though naturally modest and retiring, he was fond of his old friends and their society. In his own American home, in that nursery of the best of our people, that powerful offset against public wrangle and corruption in high places, he was all that a good man should be, with less of human infirmity than most men show\emdash a good husband and father, as in public life he was a good and useful citizen. He married, in 1855, Charlotte E. Lapham of Sandwich, and left one daughter. This memoir, while mentioning the public loss and public sorrow, veils with silence the sacred memories of private sorrows greater than those which the world ever knows. Perhaps the words of the poet might justly be applied to the harmony and quality of Mr. Hall's life.
With his fine sense of right
And truth's directness, meeting each occasion
Straight as a line of light.
Among the gentlest of all human natures
He joined to courage strong
And love outreaching to our dear Lord's creatures
With sturdy hate of wrong.
Tender as woman; manliness and sweetness
In him were so allied
That they who judged him by his strength or kindness
Saw but a single side."
