rami When Marmaduke Ball

left Herkimer County in 1812 and came to Chautauqua County to wrest a living from the wilderness, his only goal was to establish a new home for his family.

But he builded better than he knew and today the im­print of nis name and family is found ove'r a wide area in the northeastern section of the county and beyond.

He settled on 100 acres with his wife, Rebecca, and their 8-year-old son, Stephen, living in a log cabin made of the timber he cleared from the land. Over the years he d e v e l o p e d a dairy farm which, following the trend of the neighborhood, has be­come a sizable grape and

.small fruit farm, crossed by Silver Creek and the Erie Railroad. It is on Allegheny Road about a mile and a a half from Smith Mills.

Stephen married twice, and by his second wile had two sons, Stephen, Jr., who died at the age of 15, and Alfred Henry, who succeeded him as operator of the farm. The latter took as his bride Car

Many of the descendants of Marmaduke and Rebecca Ball are settled in Bail Town and vicinity. The Bail Town Cemetery and the Ball Town School, still in use, are lo­cated on the Ball property. Ball Road also got its name from the family.

Only living child of Alfred Henry Ball is Mrs. Nellie Morton, youngest child, who lives with her husband in North Chili. Their daughter, Mrs. Helen Simpson, is the wife of Rev. Thomas Simp­son, pastor of the Gerry Free Methodist Church. They have lived in Gerry for the past

It was Frank who bought the farm shortly be­fore his father's death about 23 years ago, and remodeled the homestead into a two-family house as it remains today.

children, Ardls and Fletcher. The Mortons have three other children, Nelson, who lives in Churchvine; Herbert, in Lou­isiana; and Mrs. Ruth Pap-pas, who has a son, David, in Rochester.

Donald and William La Quay, sons of Nettie Ball, now make their homes near the old homestead in the vi-, cinity of Ball Town. .

Dinner Set Tuesday Night

Leaders of agencies, organ­izations and other groups con­cerned with agriculture will meet for the annual "get-to­gether dinner," sponsored by the Chautauqua County Farm Bureati, at 8 P. M. Tuesday at the Fluvanna Fire Hall.

About }50 men will attend the invitational affair, which will feature a talk end discus­sion led by C. L. Dickinson, assistant to the general man­ager ot the Grange League Federation, Ithaca.

The annual meetings were started by the executive com­mittee of the Farm Bureau, as a means of bringing to­gether leaders of all agricul­tural agencies and organiza­tions, so they might become better acquainted and have an opportunity to become more familiar with state-wide farm leadership.
