MARYSVILLE DAILY APPEAL (Marysville, CA) 18 May 1866, Friday, Volume XIII, Number 117, Page 3—DEATH OF ALANSON S. BALL.—By a telegram to C. G. Bockius, Esq., of this city, from Chico, we learn that this truly estimable young man died yesterday at his father's residence. His health for the last two or three years bad not been rugged, and an apparent predisposition to consumption, with close confinement to business, seems to have hurried him to an untimely grave. It is but a few weeks since he left us to visit his parents, expecting soon to return, all unmindful that he was but finishing his earthly journey and " going home to die." His sudden decease is met upon all sides with universal expressions of sincere regret at the loss sustained by the community, and condolence to the bereaved relatives and friends. Scarcely 21 years of age Mr. Ball had long since won his way to the hearts of all who knew him by his unaffected kindness, candor and fidelity, while laying high claims to business ability beyond his years by praiseworthy industry, perseverance and energy in every calling of his short life. For the last two years Mr. Ball had been acting as Clerk in the U. S. Land Office for C. G. Bockius, Esq., Receiver, and hail distinguished himself as rapid and correct in every detail of his business. For some four years he had been active and at times almost foremost in the State Militia. He first belonged to the Marysville Rifles, and when ceasing his connection there joined the Marysville Union Guard, and for a longtime held the rank of Sergeant Major of that Company. Thence he was promoted to be Adjutant and First Lieutenant upon the Staff of the Seventh Regiment C. M., to fill the vacancy caused by his father's resignation of the same position. Intimately known by the writer in every walk of life, cheerful testimony is borne to his great natural good qualities, and the tears of disinterested friendship will mingle with those of family affection over this new burial place of many high hopes and fond anticipations. May the sod rest lightly upon his youthful bosom!
