General Notes: Husband - Amos Entheus Ball
He attended in his youth the common schools of Delaware Township, Mercer County, PA, and the State Normal at Edinboro. From that time on he was engaged in farming until 1899, when with his brother Hiram Kingsley he went to the Klondike and mined for three years with good success. While there he was the means of saving from drowning the life of William Evans, a Scotchman, and he was also the means of rescuing from freezing a man who had already lost his fingers, ears and feet from the cold. And again he assisted in rescuing three men, Wolf, Aberg and Conley, from suffocation from gas in the mines, but Conley died after being taken out. For these many acts of heroism and bravery Mr. Ball was presented with a gold medal from Captain Rutledge, of Dawson. Later he returned to his farm of one hundred and thirty-five acres in Delaware Township.
The homestead farm of Amos Ball is an historic one, made doubly so from the old burying ground located thereon. And it is known to a certainty that in this historic spot lie the remains of a soldier of the Revolution, a soldier of the Mexican war, three soldiers from the war of 1812 and three Indians. It is a valuable old place, rich in the reminiscences of the olden days. [HMC 1909, 838]
