BALL, CHILDERS

Monday evening's passenger brought the corpse of Jim Ball here for burial. His home was near Lamont. He went to Britt to assist in caring for sick ones in a brother's family. While there he died of heart trouble. As the disease of his brother's family was of a contagious nature (diphtheria), the authorities here ordered the corpse to be taken directly to the cemetery from the train. Besides his family, several brothers and sisters mourn his loss.
--
Mrs. John Childers, of Warren, Ills., came last Monday morning to be present at the burial of his brother, Jim Ball.

~Elkader Register, Friday, April 17, 1896 (Strawberry Point column)

Note: Burial is most likely in the Strawberry Point cemetery, but he may not have a stone marking his grave. Burial place should be verified by interested researchers.
