Son of W.C. and M.C. Ball (William C Ball and Mary Jane Campbell Ball).
The dates on the headstone are unclear at this point; the only mention of Frank is in the biographical sketch for his father: "Mr. and Mrs. Ball became the parents of two children but the son, who was the younger and to whom they gave the name of Frank, died in 1889, at the age of twelve years. The daughter, Cora A., is a vocal teacher, now connected with the public schools of Fairfield."
The child-like figure in the form of this monument is quite striking!
