Later the family moved to Council Bluffs where her father operated a saw mill and thn a boat on the Missouri river upon which she lived with her family. At the age of 20 - on April 6, 1862, she was united in marriage to James Ira Ball and moved to Blair, Neb., where Mr. Ball was engaged in farming. He later gave up farming and operated a general store in California Junction and from there went to Lyons, Neb. In 1887 Mr. and Mrs. Ball came to the Chadron area and took up a homestead on Ash Creek near Mrs. Ball's parents. They had preceded them about two years, having come to this country on the first train that ran west of Valentine. After proving their claim, Mr. and Mrs. Ball moved to Chadron in order to be closer to schools and church and Mr. Ball took a position with the C & N.W. Railway, working for them until 1918 forced him to retire. His death occurred in 1921. To this union were born eight children: Pearl, Wallace, James I. Jr., Ernest, Chester, Wilbur, Wilma and Francis. Mrs. Ball was engaged in knitting during World War II and by the war's end had knitted several garments – 115 of them being sweaters – the largest amount made by any other person in Dawes County. As recently as a year ago, she was concerned by the need of booties at the Child Saving Institute of Omaha and knitted 21 pair of them. Mrs. Ball was a member of the Methodist Church, the Royal Neighbors and the American Legion Auxiliary.
