Luther Egbert Hall (August 30, 1869 – November 6, 1921) was the 35th governor of Louisiana from 1912 to 1916. Prior to that, he was a state senator from 1898 to 1900, a state district judge from 1900 to 1906, and state appellate judge from 1906 to 1911. Before his death, he was assistant attorney general from 1918 to 1921.[1] He built the historic Gov. Luther Hall House in Monroe, Louisiana in 1906.[2]
Career
He was elected to the Louisiana Supreme Court in 1912, but was then elected governor before taking his seat on the court.[3] In becoming governor, he defeated James B. Aswell, the former president of Northwestern State University (then the Louisiana State Normal College) in Natchitoches in the Democratic primary.[4]
A political progressive,[5] Hall presided over numerous reforms during his time as governor such as a commission council form of government for New Orleans[6] and various measures aimed at helping working people.[7][8]
Death
Hall died on November 6, 1921, of a heart attack while campaigning for a seat on the Louisiana Supreme Court. He is interred at Bastrop City Cemetery in Bastrop.
