Louise Hall

Annie Louise Hall (January 15, 1881 - September 20, 1966) was an American suffragist and saleswoman. Hall worked as a teacher for many years, but after her experiences at a settlement house in New York City, she turned to suffrage work. Hall had experience working for women's suffrage in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. After her women's suffrage work, she went on to work as a saleswoman and eventually retired with her life partner to Ojai, California.

Biography Annie Louise Hall was born on January 15, 1881, in the Pensacola, Florida Naval Base. She worked as a teacher in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York. While she worked at the settlement house, she began to become interested in women's suffrage. In 1910, she moved back to Lowell and worked as a secretary for a while. In the summer of 1912, she was involved in campaigning on Ohio's women suffrage referendum. In Ohio, she was able to get Buffalo Bill to display a "Votes for Women" flag during one of his events. She spoke throughout Ohio in front of large audiences.

Around 1913, she began to work on the Pennsylvania suffrage campaign. Hall worked as the field secretary for the Pennsylvania Woman's Suffrage Association (PWSA). When the Justice Bell toured Pennsylvania to promote women's suffrage in 1915, Hall served as the director of the tour and gave speeches throughout the state.

Hall went on to work as a saleswoman for Mass Mutual Life Insurance and moved back to Lowell. She and her partner, Harte, decided to move to Ojai, California in 1934. The two of them bought a car and drove across the United States to Ojai where they built a house. Afterwards, they divided their time between California and New England. Harte died in Ojai in 1964 and Hall died two years later in Ojai on September 20, 1966.
