     Moses Ball was born on 17 May 1823 at Littleton, Essex Co., VT.1 He was the son of John Ball and Eusebia Judervine.1 Moses Ball married Eveline Wilber, daughter of Lyman S. Wilber and Sarah Foster, on 28 June 1851 at Milan, Monroe Co., MI.1 Moses Ball died on 13 November 1913 at Milan, Monroe Co., MI, at age 90.2 He was buried at Rice Cemetery, Cone, Monroe Co., MI.3
     From a newspaper clipping: Milan, Mich., June 9 - Mr. and Mrs. Moses Ball, who have been residents of this village since 1896, celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary at their home here today by the gathering of their 11 children, 28 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Ten years ago Mr. and Mrs. Ball celebrated their golden wedding in the same old home here.
     Mr. Ball was born in Littleton, Essex County, Vermont, May 17, 1823, coming to Michigan in 1834 by way of Erie canal to Buffalo and then by water landing at Monroe. When 18 years old he bought what is known as the Cone farm, four and a half miles southwest of this village, but at that time, of course, Milan was not on the map.
     At the age of 28 he married Miss Eveline Wilber, who was born in New York state in the year 1835. They have raised a large family, 14 in all, nine boys and five girls, 11 of whom are present at the festivities here today. The oldest is 57 years of age and the youngest 31.
     Mr. and Mrs. Ball are well and hearty and still able to work. Last fall Mr. Ball cut 23 cords of wood, and he also takes care of a large garden, which is always noted as being the earliest in town; while Mrs. Ball does her own work and is as hale and hearty as some of her grandchildren.4      Left photo courtesy of Emerson Ball of Howell MI.

Ten years ago Mr. and Mrs. Ball celebrated their golden wedding in the same old home here.
     Mr. Ball was born in Littleton, Essex County, Vermont, May 17, 1823, coming to Michigan in 1834 by way of Erie canal to Buffalo and then by water landing at Monroe. When 18 years old he bought what is known as the Cone farm, four and a half miles southwest of this village, but at that time, of course, Milan was not on the map.
     At the age of 28 he married Miss Eveline Wilber, who was born in New York state in the year 1835. They have raised a large family, 14 in all, nine boys and five girls, 11 of whom are present at the festivities here today. The oldest is 57 years of age and the youngest 31.
     Mr. and Mrs. Ball are well and hearty and still able to work. Last fall Mr. Ball cut 23 cords of wood, and he also takes care of a large garden, which is always noted as being the earliest in town; while Mrs. Ball does her own work and is as hale and hearty as some of her grandchildren.4      Left photo courtesy of Emerson Ball of Howell MI.
