This biography from the Archives of AskART:
|  The following information was submitted as a bulletin by Sidney Hamper, Vanderpoel Collection
Thomas
Hall was born in Sweden on April 22, 1883. He donated a watercolor to
the Vanderpoel Collection in 1917. His mailing address was 5858 South
Halsted Street, in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago's south side.
The Vanderpoel Collection's last correspondence was in 1948, and the
mail was forwarded to the Illinois Masonic Home in Sullivan,
Illinois. He still maintained his studio and apartment at the
59th & Halsted address and expected to return home when his health
improved.
He is listed as a member of the Chicago Society of
Artists. This date I inquired of the Grand Masonic Lodge of
Illinois regarding his affiliation and date of death. They advised me
he was a member of the Home Lodge #508 and passed away on December 13,
1950.
