Del Norte (California) Triplicate, Friday, 30 September 1932, p. 8, c. 1
A pioneer resident of Crescent City passed away early this week when Mrs. 
Mathilda Elizabeth Ball, 69 year old lady of [t]he Pacific avenue section 
passed away as the result of a sudden heart attack.
Mrs. Ball had suffered from heart trouble for some time and the end was not 
unexpected due to her age and weakened condition as the result of a long 
period of time.
The funeral is to be held Friday afternoon from the Black funeral home with 
Rev. J. Freelen Johnson in charge while the Rebekah Lodge of which Mrs. Ball 
was a member will conduct the graveside services and special music.
Mathilda Elsie Heckathorne was born at Silver Lake, Indiana, April 24, 1863, 
and came with her parents at the age of ten years to Eagle Point, Jackson 
County, Oregon, where she was raised and educated. On December 10, 1882, she 
was married at that place to David Ball. In 1893, Mr. and Mrs. Ball moved to 
Arcata, Humboldt county, where they lived until 1912 when they began their 
residence at Crescent City, where they have since resided.
Mrs. Ball leaves to mourn her demise her husband, David Ball, a son, Harry D. 
Ball, two granddaughters, Mrs. Paul Brunk and Mrs. Russell G. Wagner, all of 
Crescent City; a son, Henry C. Ball of Kelso, Washington, and a grand-
daughter, Mrs. Isabelle Lindille, who resides at Dollsville, California. She 
leaves also a sister, Mrs. Jennie Simpkins, who lives at Aurora, Oregon; three 
grand-children and two great-grandchildren.
Mrs. Ball was a Presbyterian and a member of Delta Rebekah Lodge in Crescent 
City. She lived a truly Christian life and was dearly loved by all who knew 
her well. Her relatives have the sincere sympathy of a host of friends of the 
deceased.
