Will E. Halladay is a native born resident of Battle Creek, and as such is one of the best known citizens in the city. He is the son of W. Thompson Halladay and Ann Rebecca (Sweeney) Halladay.......Will E. Halladay was born on December 4, 1863, and he is the seventh child of his parents. He received his education in this city, after which he spent two years in various parts of Texas, and returning home went to work for the Michigan Central Railroad. He was employed for six years as a cashier with the company, after which he entered the service of the Advance Thresher Company, now the M. Rumley Company. He first became identified with the business in 1890, and he has remained continuously with them during the years that have passed, twenty-two in number, holding the position of traffic manager of the company. Mr. Halladay was a stockholder in the old Advance Thresher Company, and is a stockholder in the newer firm, the M. Rumley Company. He is also a stockholder in the Union Steam Plow Company of this city. Mr. Halladay is a Republican with regard to his political beliefs, but is not particularly active in such matters. He is a member of Battle Creek Lodge No. 12 A.F. and A.M. and of the Chapter of the R.A.M. He is a member of the Athelstan Club, and is the owner of a summer cottage at Goguac Lake where the family frequently spend the summer months. Mr. Halladay married Miss Nellie E. Metcalf, the daughter of David H. and Lydia (Muffley) Metcalf, an old and highly respected family of Battle Creek. Mr. Metcalf makes his home with Mr. and Mrs. Halladay, and Mrs. Metcalf passed away in 1910. Mrs. Halladay was born, reared and educated here, and is one of the best known and most popular matrons in the city. Mr. and Mrs. Halladay are the parents of one son, Ivor R., born here on July 31, 1889. He was graduated from the Battle Creek high school in the class of 1907, and is now in his fifth year in the law department at the University of Michigan. Mrs. Halladay has been secretary of the Women's League of Battle Creek for almost two years, an office which may not be held for longer that a two year period; hence her term of service in that capacity is nearing an end.
