Fanny Pamelia Ball, who died a month and 18 days after her 7th birthday, was the beloved eldest child of Daniel E. and Hannah F. Ball. Her weathered marble memorial bears mute testimony to her parents' grief in ornate Victorian style, and features not one, but two bas-relief vignettes. The semi-circular upper, with only a reclining and a standing lamb still discernable, bears the legend "We must part with the loved ones". The circular lower vignette depicts a parental mourning figure leaning on a bud-draped urn. Its inscription reads "We loved her because she was pleasant and mild, we loved her because she was our dear oldest child." A sculpted ivy border frames the stone.
