HALL, Arethusa, educator, born in Norwich (now Huntington), Hampshire County, Massachusetts, 13 October, 1802. She had limited opportunities for obtaining an education, but subsequently made up for early deficiencies by private study. At the age of nine she became a member of the family of Reverend Sylvester Judd, of Westhampton, Massachusetts She was principal of the Greenland, New Hampshire, academy in 1826, and afterward of that at Haverhill, Massachusetts, where she was the teacher of the poet Whittier. She continued to teach in New England schools until 1849, and in that year came to the Brooklyn female academy (now Packer institute), and after two years' service was associated with Professor Alonzo Gray in the Brooklyn Heights seminary for young ladies, where she remained as associate principal until 1860. Failing health soon afterward compelled her to retire.
