DEATH OF MRS. OLIVER BALL.
The Passing Away of a True Chris
tan Woman Who Lived
Noble Life.

For some DAYS past the readers of the
REFLECTOR have been awar" or the
| fact that Mrs. O. l.. Ball was slowly
but surely passing away, and therefore
| the announcement of her death at three
O'Clock this morning will not come
upon them as a sudden shock. The
waning, however will not assuage the
grief of the immediate relatives and
friends who so dearly loved and revered
her, one of the nOblest, purest and
truest of christian women. For some
time past sic has b, en- suffering untold
agnnies, the result of cancer trouble.
finally causing her death at the hour
above mentioned. Through all her
sufferings she has borne mp with true
christian fOrtitude. even in her deepest
pain enduring with a smiling face
rather than render more miserable her
husband and children.
To her surviving husband her deceaSe
is sad blow. No man. in losing his
wife, realizes his loss more than does
whole-sOuled, tender-hearted Oliver
Ball. To him she has been true
wife. a faithful and lOvirg helpmeet,
always at his side Through sunshine
and shadow" never failing in those
duties that every christian woman
turns into labor of love. Our SYM
palhies go out chiefly to the stricken
husband, for to him they are most
needed, realizing as he does that he
has lost one who is more than all the
world to him. The surviving children
who mourn the departure of the best
mother on earth, are Frank L.. of this
city, and Jay c., Estella, and little six
year old Olive, the last three living at
the family residence.
The funeral services will take place
from the residence, nine miles north of
the city, at eleven o'clock tomorrow
morning, the remains being taken to
the Abilene cemetery for interment.
Rev. A. Barnes, of the Universalist
church in Junction City arrived in the
city on this afternoons train, and will
conduct the services.
The deceased was in the ffty-ninth
year of her age. She was born in
Cortland county, New York, also the
birth place of her husband. When
nineteen years of age she married. the
young couple shortly after removing 10
Illinois, where they resided until 1880,
when they came to Kansas, locating in
Abilene. Two years ago the coming
June, a removal was made to the pres
ent residence.
