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]
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.[2]
Hall died on November 6, 1921 of a heart attack while campaigning for a seat on the Louisiana Supreme Court, and is interred at Bastrop City Cemetery in Bastrop.
