  Obituary: Reno Gazette-Journal (Apr/21/2005) Alta M. Carrick Hall, age 86, passed away April 7, 2005 at her home in Hallelujah Junction, CA. She was born July 18, 1918 in Lassen County and raised her family in both Lassen and Butte County, CA. She and her husband, Dennis, also lived in the Reno-Sparks area for over 20 years. Alta was preceded in death by her parents, Willard Phillip and Sarah Jessie Gerking Carrick; her husband of 53 years, Dennis B. Hall; son Jesse W. Hall; and daughter, Patricia Harriet Sprague. She is survived by brother Jack Carrick, sister, Aileen Carrick Accord, her daughter-in-law Jean Henry Hall; daughters Bertie Hall Spears and Bertha Hall Briggs; son Andrew James Hall; 18 grandchildren, 36 great grandchildren, and 6 great great grandchildren. Alta excelled in homemaking skills and received several awards for her quilting at State Fairs. Her greatest love was her family and gardening. She was often overheard saying, "I am at peace when I am in my garden". Memorial Services will be held at Sierra Grange Hall in Vinton, CA at 2 pm on Thursday, April 21, 2005. ----- Lassen County authorities are investigating the shooting deaths of a family near Hallelujah Junction. Sheriff's deputies say three people were found shot to death Thursday morning in an area just west of Hallelujah Junction, about 30 miles north of Reno. Investigators say they received a call about shots being fired on Scott Road at 7:25 AM. Two deputies arrived at the property where one family shared three homes. Deputies determined they had a possible hostage situation and called in the Lassen Interagency SWAT team and deputies from the Plumas County Sheriff's Department. After several unsuccessful attempts to contact anyone inside the residence, deputies entered one of the homes and found a man and a woman who had been shot to death. They also found the body of another woman in a second home. The dead have been identified as 71-year-old Henry Sprague, his wife, 65-year-old Patricia Sprague and Patricia's mother, 86-year-old Alta Hall. Investigators haven't determined the circumstances surrounding the homicides, although they did say it appears to be a family-related crime and they believe the deaths were one continuous act. Officials say autopsies will be conducted Friday in order to determine the exact cause of death.
