OBITUARY: James Wesley Ball (b. abt 1847 in IA.)

Salina Weekly Republican Journal, Fri. Dec. 9, 1898, p-2, c-1

The funeral of the late Wesley Ball took place at his home in the Wesleyan addition Tues. afternoon. The services being conducted by Rev. H. P. Crego, Pastor of the Baptist Church, with which church Mr. Ball's family affiliated.

The first line is the contributor's header, kept as submitted. The notice reports only the funeral (Tuesday before the Friday, 9 December 1898 issue), not the death date, so the record carries the year 1898 from our archive's index entry for this record ("1847~1898"). The Wesleyan addition is in Salina (from the newspaper); Kansas is not stated in the text.
