The precise place of her burial is unknown. It is highly likely, however, that she was buried in St. Thomas Cemetery, as that parish was started earlier in the year of her death. Peter Ball's grave occupies the extreme southwest corner of the cemetery, as has very few neighbors. Lucy was perhaps buried next to his eventual grave.
Her date of death (December 15th - and not 14th-, 1891 as some have claimed) comes from Peter's Civil War pension at the National Archives in Washington. On December 10, 1912, when asked to state where he had resided since returning from the war, Peter indicated that he had lived in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania for 22 years, and then relocated to Cambria County where he had resided ever since. That would place his arrival in Cambria County in 1887, four years before Lucy's death.
