Hallock was an 1833 graduate of Middlebury College. He was the Principal of Castleton Seminary (now Castleton State College) for 17 years, from 1839 - 1856. He was buried the day after he died at Bellefontaine Cemetery in St. Louis, but cemetery records indicate he was removed from there on January 24, 1871. However the records do not say what cemetery he was removed to. Whether the monument at Hillside is his grave or simply a memorial erected as a tribute from his former students is unknown to me at this time. **** Mr. Hallock was a strong man - physically and intellectually. He came to this town in 1838 to supply the pulpit of the Congregational church for a few months in the absence of the pastor, Rev. Mr. Steele. Though the Seminary at that time was thoroughly run down, he had the sagacity to see the strength of the position. He always considered it as good a place for an academy as any in the State. He accepted the office of Principal and set himself to the duties of his office. He had most wonderful powers of persuasion. He gathered the sons and daughters of the farmers and mechanics from all the neighboring counties; he set himself to improving the appearance of the building and grounds, and we owe to him the paint upon these walls, and the trees under whose shadow we are now gathered. He always kept good teachers, especially in the main departments of the school, while he could, in an emergency, take any position and fill it well. He was a man of marked character, was too incautious as to his own reputation, and from his birth was predestined to the epithet "old". I have heard him called "Old Hallock" in Minnesota, and, I suppose, in every State between here and there. He was a good man for boys to snowball when he was riding past in a sleigh, a good man for those annoyed with him to assail behind the back, but he was about as well able to take care of himself when opponents were before him as anyone I have ever known. He had defects of character, but if the present principal were to retire, and another E.J. Hallock were to appear, for one I should say, do not look further, here is the man to be at the head of our school. (By Rev. George Nye Boardman and taken from Report of the Proceedings Commemorating the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Establishment of a Chartered School: Known at Different Periods as the Rutland County Grammar School, Castleton Seminary and State Normal School, in Castleton, Vermont, 1787 - 1887; pub. by The Tuttle Co., Rutland, Vt., 1888)
