Interesting information. I grew up a mile east of Roscoe and it was a virtual ghost town in the 50's. A general store was still there and 1 house. But I have never heard the name of Hall associated with the town. A man named Barton founded the town and owned all the businesses, I believe. In the 50's 2 never married Barton daughters still kept the store open. All buildings are gone now, as well as the train track that ran by Roscoe.
