Abner C. Ball married Annis V. Box on November 15, 1860, in Cherokee County, Texas. He and his younger brother, Elias Tidwell Ball, both enrolled and mustered in on April 7, 1862, in Capt. Thomas R. Bonner's Company, in Rusk, Cherokee County, Texas. By July 25, 1862, Abner was home in Cherokee County on sick furlough. He apparently never returned to his company, and by December 1, 1862, he was listed as having died of disease in Cherokee County, Texas. His marker, however, gives his year of death as 1864.
