“Winters Express,” Saturday, July 26, 1890
Mrs. James W. Ball

In Memoriam

Mrs. James W. Ball, was born in Washington county, Pennsylvania, July 29, 1837
and died in Winters, California, July 22, 1890, aged 52 years, 11 months and 24
days.  Her maiden name was Robinson.  She was married to Mr. Ball in Washington
county, Ohio, November 19, 1857.  Her husband and six children - two boys and
four girls - are left to mourn their loss.  She embraced religion and became a
member of the church at the age of seventeen.  She lived the life of a Christian
and died the death of the righteous.  She was an affectionate, thoughtful wife,
a devoted, loving mother.  Conspicuous among her many virtues, was her care for
the sick.  Possessed of more than ordinary tact and skill in this direction,
tender and sympathetic, she was a frequent and always welcome visitor in the
homes of the afflicted.  Several persons in this community ascribe their recovery
from serious sickness to her patient and skillful nursing.  She will be sadly
missed, not only in her own home, but also in the homes of her friends and
neighbors.  Many will gratefully cherish her memory until their dying day.  But
her work is done, her sufferings over, and she rests from her labors.  The
funeral service was conducted from the Cumberland Presbyterian Church by her
pastor, Rev. H.C. Culton.  The text was, Matthew 25:34 "Then shall the King say
unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom
prepared for you from the foundation of the world."  A large concourse of
sorrowing friends followed her remains to the city of the dead.  Peace to her
memory.

**

J.W. Ball and family desire to thank their friends who so willingly administered
to the wants of the wife and mother during her long sickness and at her death,
and to Dr. Magill for his kindness and faithful attendance upon her.
