SISTER MARY AGNES' CAREER

The Rev. J.H. Cullen, in St. Joseph's Church last evening, referred to the life and virtues of the late Sister Agnes in the presence of a large congregation.
In 1833, he said. Dr. Edward S. Hall and his wife left England for Tasmania Immediately after their marriage. Dr. Hall, a young medical man, had accepted a position as Government doctor In the Colony.  On May l8, 1834, his daughter, who became Sister Mary Agnes, was born in Hobart.  She was baptised by a distinguished visiting priest, who became Archbishop of Birmingham.  Dr. Hall's duties took him to every part of the island, and consequently the family lived at Brighton, Ross, Oatlands, Westbury, and Hobart, as circumstances required.  In 1847 the pioneer Sisters of Charity landed in Hobart, and Dr. Hall and his daughter were among those who joined
In the welcome. It was then that Sister Agnes first thought of devoting herself to religious life.  The Hall family lived at Ross In 1852, when Thomas Francis Meagher-one of tho famous Irish exiles -was married in their home, Bishop Wilson officiating.  As companion to Mrs. Meagher, Dr. Hall's eldest daughter went to Lake Sorell district, where Meagher's "fairy cottage" was situated.  When the exile escaped to America the Hall family had returned lo Hobart, where the rest of their life was spent.
There were five daughters (all deceased) and one son, Mr. Leventhorpe Hall, now In his 87th year.  Owing to uncertain health, Sister Agnes had to defer her entry to the Convent until finally she joined St. Joseph's community 60 years ago.  Her life since then had been devoted to the works of religion, charity, and education, to which the
Sisters ot Charity have consecrated their lives.
