My grandmother was a WONDERFUL person. She lived the Christian life EVERY day. The person you "see" in this letter is who she was.

The family even had "Artie" put on Grandma's grave marker because no one seemed sure how to spell Artimisha. She's listed as Artie in all the census records I found. Since she did not get her birth certificate until 1964, I feel confident this is how she intended for her name to be spelled.

They did not get their official Marriage Certificate until years after the fact.
Artie was the daughter of Charley A. Ball and Mary Ellen Baldwin Ball. I believe Mary Ellen was Native American, but I have no documents to support that. I also believe Artie was names after the herb, artemisia. Other children of Charley and Mary Ellen were:
Addie Mae Ball 4.18.1888 - 3.4.1968
Willard M. Ball 9.19.1890 Died in WWI, buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
Donnie Ray Ball 8.1.1900 - 10.27.1963
Chando Ball 12.15.1903 - 2.18.1923
Arnold "Homer" Ball 5.26.1906 - 11.28.1974
Artie is buried in Madison, WV and Willard in VA. The rest are buried in Hewett, WV.

Artimisha went by "Artie". She was my grandmother. She married Elza Snowden Sansom in Sharples, WV on 5.29.1917. Snowden and Artie lived in Sharples, WV until at least 5.25.1919 when Kermit was born. By 5.12.1921, when Thermond was born, they were living in Stark. Ermia (she later went by Erma) was born in Hewett on 9.3.1924.They moved to Julian sometime between 11.11.1935 when Darlene Kay was born in Hewett and 5.12.1938 when Bobbie was born in Julian. They moved back to Hewett the spring of 1969.
Artie was a Christian all of her life with a strong faith. She met Snowden in church. They had 12 children. The two not listed on the other page are:
Virgil Lee Sansom 9.13.1934 (still living) and Darlene Kay Sansom 11.11.1935 - stillborn.
I used some of the money Dad had left when he died to add Elza and Artimisha to their grave marker.
