It is with deep sorrow that we note in this issue, the death of Mrs.
Dorcas Ball, wife of Levi Ball, of Mill run, about two miles above this
place.
Mrs. Ball was reared in this county and vicinity, and her departure from
life, last Saturday, she left many sorrowing friends to relate the story
of her noble and stainless life.
Her virgin name was Hardman and all throughout her long life of over fifty
years she ever added honor and credit to the name she bore and the
honorable family of which she was the ideal. Mrs. Ball had been in rather
feeble health for some while and last Friday evening she was taken
suddenly and violently ill of something like heart disease, resulting from
continued rheumatism; and ere her many friends were generally aware of her
dangerous condition, she quietly and peacefully yielded to the messenger
of death in the presence of a few of her relatives and friends, last
Saturday about noon. Her clay was reverently laid to rest in the cemetery
at the Bethlehem Baptist Church, of which she had for many years been a
faithful member and was believed by all to be a devout and humble
christian. She lived for those around her and ever tried to make others
happier because of her own existence.
She leaves several grown sons and daughters and a husband to mourn their
bereavement, but they are not alone in their grief, for she was loved and
revered by all who knew her, and her fond memories will be cherished by
those who loved and revered; she is dead to those who knew her not, but
yet she lives in many hearts.
