Freelove Mitchell1

F, #13497, b. circa 1793, d. 18 April 1836

Her epitaph reads: To the Memory of Mrs. Freelove Ball, wife of Elijah Ball, & daughter of Jonathan Mitchell of Block Island. She died April 18, 1836, from stabs inflicted with a knife, in her 44th year. The Mother of nine children who all lived to deplore the loss of so excellent a Mother.
     Oh! tis a trying thing to be bereft of life
     By the vile hand of him who called her wife
     And those who read may thus infer from hence
     That this rash act sprung from Intemperance!2
     Her married name was Ball. Elijah Ball was tried for murder of his wife Freelove and convicted. On October 1, 1836 the "Norfolk Advertiser" reported that the Jury was out only ten minutes, though the "Columbia Register" says it was 20 minutes. The "Newport Mercury" reported that although Elijah Ball was sentenced to death, he petitioned for clemency and it was granted. The vote was 29 to 24 that he should be imprisoned for life, rather than executed.2
