Unfortunately, our researchers have not uncovered further information about this Green Book business. The 1950 Census for Lillington enumerated several people with the last name “Hall,” including John W. Hall (married to Annie S. Hall) and Romulus Hall (married to Bessie Hall). No one with the last name “Hall” was enumerated as a taxi driver in 1950.3
