BALL- Nov. 20, 1882, at her home in Paris township, 6 1/2 miles northwest of Mound City, Mrs. Emma Ball, wife of J. C. Ball, aged 22 years. The deceased leaves a husband and two children who deeply mourn her loss. Mr. Ball has the sympathy of many friends in his sad bereavement. She was a Christian and died happy in the faith that she would soon be at home in heaven. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and her last words were "I am going home; I am going home." Her remains were taken to Cadmus where her funeral was preached by Rev. Jud Payne, who four short years ago united them in the holy bonds of matrimony. Their life was bidding fair for a happy and useful one. The people of Cadmus have the sincere thanks of those from this neighborhood who went to attend the funeral for the kindness and hospitality manifested by them. A Friend.
