Mahlon M. Ball died at the home of his parents, C.A. and Annette A. Ball, on Friday morning of pneumonia. He had been sick only a week.
He was born June 28, 1860 at Richland, Ohio, where he lived until 1873, when with his parents he moved to Kansas and settled near the present site of Lebo. He went west about ten years ago and on his return entered the employ of the Santa Fe, for which company he rendered faithful service until one week preceding his death. He was one of the young men of Lebo whom every one liked and his many friends were greatly saddened by his death, all extending to the parents and other relatives their sympathy. He was a dutiful son and a kind brother. One of his many thoughtful acts was to have his life insured for $2,000 in the Modern Woodmen for the benefit of his mother.
The funeral was held from the Christian church. The K. of P., of which he was a member, rendered their beautiful service at the church and the Woodmen conducted the last sad rites at the grave.
He leaves and aged father and mother, three sisters, and three brothers, to mourn his death, all of whom were present at the funeral except Win, who was on a hunting and fishing trip in the Indian Territory and to whom no word could be delivered until after the funeral.
