MINNIE ONDERDONK BALL

About midnight Monday 8th, pass on in the life eternal Minnie B. Onderdonk, beloved wife of Charles Ball, aged 86 years.

Altho in failing health, Mrs. Ball's sudden going came as a shock to this community where most of her long life was spent. On March 16th Mr. and Mrs. Ball would have observed the 62nd anniversary of their marriage.

In days when special training was somewhat unusual Mrs. Ball attended Albany Normal school, later giving several years of successful teaching in district schools

The record of her life is part of community history. After their marriage in 1886, Mr. and Mrs. Ball lived on a farm near Altamont and there their children were born. In 1909 the family returned to the ancestral home in Switzkill to resume the traditional life of the country-side.

Devoted to the interests of her family, the gracious center of everwideing friendships, a living witness to a vital Christian faith-her presence was a benediction. A devout student of the Bible, her teaching in the Sunday school was intelligent and comprehensive, a treasured influence in many lives:-a life member of the Missionary society, her sympathy was world-wide.

The funeral service on Friday afternoon was in the Lutheran church, where she was a member for nearly seventy years. Her pastor, the Rev. Russell B. Greene, officiated, assisted by the Rev. Franklin Deitz of Schenectady, a member of the family. Interment was in the [[Woodlawn Cemetery|Woodlawn Cemetery]].

Mr. Bell survives her, doubly bereft because of failing vision. She leaves also a son, Clyde. L. Ball, a daughter, Mrs. Leroy Bailey, three grandchildren, Mrs. Raymond Wright, Mrs. Franklin Deitz, and Mrs. Lois Lendrum; and six great grand children.

And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from hence-forth.
