DescriptionBlack and White photograph of C.G. "Crip" Hall and Nancy Hall standing behind a desk. C.G. Hall has his arm around Nancy Hall, and the two are surrounded by floral arrangements. On the right side of the desk, in front of Nancy, is what looks to be a floral arrangment shaped into the number 20. "Photo courtesy of C.G. "Crip" Hall Secretary of State" is stamped on the back.

Nancy Johnson Hall (1904–1991) was the first woman in Arkansas to be elected to a constitutional office. Upon the death of her husband C.G. "Crip" Hall in 1961, she was appointed to serve the remainder of his term as secretary of state by Governor Orval Faubus. Hall then went on to be elected as Arkansas state treasurer in 1962, running unopposed in the general election as a Democrat. Hall served as treasurer for 18 years.
