General Notes: Husband - John Ball

---

At the age of eighteen he immigrated to New York city, taking passage on the sailing vessel "Columbus." From New York he came to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he found employment in a tannery for several years as an engineer. In 1862 he came to Oakland township, Butler County, and settled on the site of the brick church, where he purchased twenty-six acres of improved land. He lived there for a few years, then removed to Allegheny. In 1865 he returned to Butler County a second time, and bought forty-two acres of land, on which he resided until 1870, when he sold out and bought the old Thorn place. There he remained until 1872, when he purchased the old homestead, and the Hill place, holding the latter until 1879, but not living on it. He eventually owned sixty acres in Donegal township, and twenty-five acres in Oakland township, on which he lived beginning in 1872. He also owned two other farms comprising about ninety-four acres.

For many years he was extensively engaged in the buying and shipping of stock.
