Reported age at time of death was 18 years, so evidently born about 1839.

Buster Wright's "Burials and Deaths Reported in the Columbus (Georgia) Enquirer [Newspaper], 1832-1872" (1984), p. 19, shows: Miss BALL died aged 18 years; buried 13 NOV 1857 (from Sexton's report published 12 JAN 1858). John H. Martin’s “The Making of a Modern City: Columbus, Georgia, 1827-65,” Volume II (1875), p. 101, reports the same burial from the same source Wright used.

Mary Jane Galer's "COLUMBUS, GA: Lists of People, 1828-1852, and Sexton's Reports to 1866" (2000), p. 213, shows Miss BALL died aged 18 years of scarlet fever; buried 13 NOV 1857 (from "October 1, 1857 to January 1, 1858, Sexton's Report," dated 07 JAN 1858.

This grave is probably not identifiably marked. Based on the burial date, the grave is likely in the Old Cemetery section, Section 1, or Section 2 (unless is has subsequently been moved).
