  Notes	From the History of Calhoun County, pages 1284-5. Biography of Will E. Halladay (son of W. Thompson and Rebecca Ann)(sic written about 1912) ... The father (W. Thompson), who was a native of New York state, came to Michigan with his parents, James and Mary Ann (Fiero) Halladay, and James Halladay owned and operated a brick yard in Bedford township for years. His son W. Thompson, there grew to years of maturity, and eventually married Ann Sweeney, and for a time thereafter he was employed in the brick yard by his father.  Subsequently he became the proprietor of the Battle Creek House, and he later owned and conducted a hotel near the former site of the Michigan Central depot.  In later years, he took possession of the Crane House, afterwards known as the Commercial House, which became dull at that time, and he lost heavily, and was eventually compelled to withdraw from the business. He took a position in the store of J.E. Halladay, his brother, and later was employed by another brother, A.S. Halladay.  He then began in business for himself again and conducted a grocery store on Main street, a business in which he continued until failing health compelled him to retire from active commercial life.  Mr. Halladay was a prominent and popular man in Battle Creek, and he was a musician of more than ordinary ability.  For many years he was a member of the Halladay Orchestra, in that period a noted organization in southern Michigan.  Mr. Halladay played both the violin and the double bass violin.  He died on May 26, 1902, and his wife preceded him, passing away on June 13, 1899.  Both are buried in Oak Hill cemetery.  They were the parents of eleven children.... From Willard Library, Battle Creek, Michigan Born NY state.  To Battle Creek with parents October 6, 1839.  Son of James and Mary Fiero Halladay.  Wed in Bedford to Rebecca Ann Sweeney. Worked in brickyard with father.  Prop. of Battle Creek House. Had a hotel near MC depot.  Then the Crane House, later the Commercial House, which he ran until after the Civil War. Clerked for brother J.F. Halladay.  Later worked for another brother A.S. Halladay, Grocery in W. Main.  Then retired.  Musician and ran Halladay Orchestra, playing bass violin and violin.  Died May 26, 1902, at 73. 463 W. Main. Obituary - May 26, 1902 Death of an Esteemed Citizen, W.T. Halladay W. T. Halladay, more familiarly known to his friends as Thomas, one of the pioneers of Battle Creek, died at 2:43 o'clock this morning of creeping paralysis.  He had been ill for some time.  Death came at his home 463 West Main Street.  The funeral services will be held from the residence at 2:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.  The services will be conducted by Rev. Wm. S. Potter.  The interment will be made at Oak Hill cemetery. Mr. Halladay was born in 1828 at Seneca, Ontario County, New York state, and was 73 years five months and nineteen days of age at the time of his death.  He came to this city with his parents October 6, 1839.  He assisted his father to clear off the old homestead farm in Bedford township two miles northwest of the city.  Later he moved to the city and was engaged extensively in the hotel business in the early days.  He was landlord of the old American house, opposite the present Michigan Central warehouse, and later of the McCamly house which was located in the building at present occupied by the Moon office. Still later he was landlord of the Crane house now known as the Commercial hotel on West Jackson street.  For some time he was engaged in the grocery business. In 1850 he was united in marriage at the home of the bride, to Rebecca, daughter of the late John Sweeney, who died three years ago last June. For years he was a member of the famous old Humphrey and Evans quadrille band and many of the older generation have danced to the music furnished by his nimble fingers, who have the most kindly remembrance of him.  He was a good citizen and neighbor, and a genial, generous man, and a true friend.  He leaves a host of acquaintances to regret his death and sorrow with the relatives and family. He was the father of ten children of whom six are still living.  They are Fred, Claude, Harry and Will Halladay and Mrs. C.R. Dye all of this city and Matt Halladay of Marshall, TX.  Two brothers, James and Austin S. Halladay and two sisters, Mrs. C.A. Hodges and Mrs. John Stahl of this city are survivors.
