Mrs. Albert Ball
Mrs. Ball was one of the oldest residents of Poughkeepsie, having been born here March 1, 1814. She was the daughter of the late John Depew, and when only nine years of age moved with her parents into her late home on Mill Street. Thursday morning, in that same old home she loved so well, surrounded by her children and loving friends, she passed calmly to her rest. She was a woman of a grand, a wonderful constitution, and might have lived several years longer but for the accident nearly two years ago, when she fell on Main Street and broke her hip. She was married here in 1833 to Albert Ball. In the early fall of 1840 Mr. Ball went to Texas and located at Galveston, and the following year she joined him there. She remained in Poughkeepsie all during the Civil War, separated from her husband nearly five years. After the death of her husband at Galveston, in 1875, she was not content to remain there and moved back here to the old home, where she has continuously resided ever since, save a few winters passed with her children in Texas. The children survive her – Mrs. Emily B. Sanford, formerly of Temple, Texas, and Albert Ball, Jr., formerly of Galveston. She was a devout Episcopalian, and from early years a member of Christ church. Saturday afternoon she will be laid beside her husband in the family plot at the cemetery, and there near the grand old Hudson, with its placid waters ever flowing gently by, her grave will be kept green and the flowers will bloom about it in the cherished remembrance of the devoted wife, the loving mother, and always kind friend.
