Utica - She was the daughter of William H. Ball and Esther Whiter Ball Dibble.
On June 30, 1906 she married George H. Scott in Forestport.
Maud Ball Scott, daughter of Mrs. Esther Ball Dibble and the late William H. Ball, died suddenly yesterday afternoon at 307 Montgomery street, Syracuse, where she had lived for the past month.
Her mother. Mrs. William Ball Dibble, resides at 126 Mary street in this city and is well known here.
Mrs. Scott also had many Utica friends and it was but three weeks ago that she spent three days with her mother and she was expected to visit in Utica again this week.
Mrs. Scott's death was particularly sad as it was said that she had a disagreement with her husband about six months ago and they separated. He went to Detroit and she took rooms with Mrs. James Qausllen at 307 Montgomery street in Syracuse. The separation was later regretted by both and she went to Detroit and spent much of the past summer with him. However, he did not return to Syracuse with his wife, but stayed in the Michigan city in an effort to secure work end both hoped to be together soon.
Mrs. Scott was a close friend of Mrs. Tapner and it was by assisting in the restaurant of Carhart & Tapner, that she earned her living.
Thursday evening at 8 o'clock she ended her day's labor as usual and went to her room. A woman friend called during the evening, but left at 11 o'clock. Previously Mrs. Scott had requested Miss Clara Hurd of Rochester, who rooms on the same floor, to call her at midnight that the two might spend the night together as they had frequently done.
"I heard her friend go about midnight." said Miss Hurd, "but dozed off to sleep again and did not wake up until a quarter after one. Then I knocked on her door, but she did not answer. She generally responded quickly but I thought she might have fallen Into a deep sleep and I did not knock again.
"About 11 o'clock this morning Edward Tapner, one of the proprietors of the lunch room, came over to see why Mrs. Scott had not come to work. He knocked on her door, but she did not answer. I knocked at 1 and I and again at 4 o'clock.
"When I went to the lunch room for supper this evening they asked me where Maude was. When I came back I asked Mrs. Gausline about her and Mr. Gausline and I went up with a key. He opened the door and there she lay dead in bed. I think she must have died before I knocked at 1 o'clock in the morning."
It was about 7 o'clock when Mrs. Scott was found dead, though she bore the appearance of one in peaceful slumber. Being unable to awaken her, Mr.
Gausline started for a physician and at the same time Dr. F. Sinclair Fay happened to be passing and was mailed into service. He realized that Mrs. Scott was dead and ordered that the door to her room be locked and Coroner Kinne notified. The Coroner's decision was that death was caused by heart trouble, but there was no way of determining just how long she had been dead.
Mr. Tapner notified the relatives in this city and William Ball, a brother of the deceased, in company with Undertaker Frank Whiter of Boonville, went to Syracuse this morning to return with the remains this afternoon.
It was not known how to reach the husband, as he had no permanent address. A letter received from him in Detroit a few days ago stated that he was out of work, homeless and lonesome, it was plain to be seen in the letter that a reconciliation had been made. In part, the letter read:
" You can't buy a job here. I have tried everywhere. You will have to send my mail to general delivery for I have no home now. If I could get my overcoat and watch out of hock I would "beat it" for Syracuse right away....
Maude Ball Scott was born in Boonville, 28 years ago. She received her education and was brought up there. Her education was somewhat handicapped by blindness with which she suffered for a year during her high school years. Four years ago last June 10, she became the wife of George H. Scott. For two years previous to her marriage, she resided in this city and was known to a wide circle of friends here, as a bright and pleasing young woman. Her death will occasion the regret of all who knew her and the bereaved relatives will be sincerely sympathized with in their loss.
Mrs. Dibble, mother of the deceased, is superintendent of the tea room in John A. Roberts & Co.'s store.
Besides the mother, there survives one son, William H. Ball, and two nephews, all of this city. Utica Herald Dispatch, Saturday Evening, October 14, 1911
