From Story County Watchman September 9, 1898

Ontario.

Grandma Ball died at the home of her son Marshall Ball, last Saturday evening at seven o'clock, and was buried Sunday afternoon in the Ontario cemetery. She has a stroke of paralysis several days ago which was the result of her death. She was a fine old lady and she lived to a good old age, being 86 years of age. In life she was jolly and good natured and to know her was to love her; she was a friend to everyone she knew her. How grandma will be missed only the family will know. The family have the sympathy of the entire community.
