HENRY BALL, Justice of the Peace, Girard, is the only living son of Henry and Betsey (Halsted) Ball, and was born in 1810, in Galway, N. Y. His father, after emigrating to this country from England, settled in Saratoga County, N. Y., where he was salesman some years, engaged in farming, and at one time served as Constable. He and his wife died within a year of each other, leaving Henry and Laura, a widow, and mother of Martha, wife of Theodore Allen, residing on the old homestead. Our subject located in Girard Township and began, in connection with farming, in the commission and forwarding business. In 1846, he was elected Justice of the Peace, serving five years. He was re-elected in 1857, and has since filled this office. He has also served as School Director eighteen years, Secretary and Treasurer of the Council many years, and as Treasurer of the School Board, and Secretary of the Cemetery Company, in all capacities with satisfaction to his constituents and credit to himself. He was married to Martha Chesebro, a native of Saratoga County, N. Y. Three children blessed this union, one surviving, Jennie, widow of Fenton Daggett, by whom she has one child, Fenta.
