Rosalie Ann Hall, age 85 of Osawatomie, Kansas died July 12, 2017 in Hermitage, Missouri.  Rosalie was born May 30, 1932 in Osawatomie, Kansas.  She was the youngest of two daughters born to William James and Florence May (Bartlett) Wiseman.

She grew up near Osawatomie and attended elementary school at the Green Valley one room school.  She attended high school in Osawatomie.

Alvin E. Hall and Rosalie were married on October 20, 1949 in Ottawa, Kansas.

They lived in Spring Hill and Mound City where their family started.  Then in 1956 they moved to a farm west of Osawatomie until 1971, when they built a new home on the same farm where Rosalie grew up.  Together Alvin and Rosalie had three children:
