	Jacob Ball, one of Clark County’s prominent citizens, was born in 
Kentucky in 1822, and is a son of Samuel and Mary (Cole) Ball, natives of East 
Tennessee and Virginia, respectively.  The death of the father occurred in 
Indiana in 1852.  Our subject left the State of Indiana in 1849 and went to Lee 
County, Iowa, where he remained for two years, at the end of which time he came 
to Clark County, Mo., and settled on a farm in Sweet Home Township, and has 
lived in that township ever since, with the exception of the time he served his 
country during the war.  He enlisted in Company C, Twenty-first Missouri, and 
took quite an active part until the close of the war, returning home in 1866.  
He was married in 1846 to Rebecca Nelson, daughter of William and Sarah 
(Corsealus) Nelson, natives of Indiana.  To Mr. and Mrs. Ball ten children have 
been born, of whom nine are living: George W., Mary C., Henry C., Sarah F., 
John A., Emily J., Jacob E., Milo E., and Minnie.  Mr. Ball is a strong 
Republican, and both he and his wife are members of the Christian Church.
