WALL, Edward B. - {from The Fayetteville Democrat} Edward B. Wall, a resident of Fayetteville and a prominent attorney here for nearly half a century and a former mayor, passed away at City Hospital at 2:30 o'clock. He had been ill little more than 24 hours. Funeral arrangements are awaiting arrival here this morning of two brothers, Clement J. Wall and Robert Irvin Wall, both of Chicago, who were located at Kankakee, Ill. and who telegraphed they were leaving for Fayetteville immediately. Mr. Wall was a son of a Presbyterian minister of Fairfield, Iowa and came to Fayetteville from that city in the early eighties, perhaps in 1881, with S.J. Holsinger, with whom he opened a law partnership, Holsinger and Wall, in an office on Wall street which was named after him. In 1886 Mr. Wall became attorney for the first Fayetteville building and loan association. He had a liking for politics and in 1887 became mayor of Fayetteville. He was a prominent member of the Masonic lodge for years and in 1893 was worshipful master of the Washington Lodge No. 1.
