General Notes: Husband - Joseph Ball

---

He was born on a farm in Butler County, Pennsylvania, about six miles northeast of Butler. He obtained his education in the common schools of Butler County and remained on the home farm until the autumn of 1899, when he came to Butler and bought the business of Mr. Reisman, who then operated the City Transfer Company. As the city grew, this business expanded to meet all exigencies and Mr. Ball practically controls the industry. In politics, like his father, he was a stanch Democrat. He was an active citizen and became a member of the city council.
He and his family were members of St. Peter's Catholic Church and he belonged to the order of Knights of Columbus, the Catholic Mutual Benefit Association, the Woodmen of the World, the Knights of Maccabees, and to Butler Lodge, No. 170, Elks.
