She was the widow of Thomas Ball, a former Yonkers hotelkeeper. Mrs. Ball, who was brought to Yonkers by her parents 80 years ago from her native County Kerry, Ireland, was a daughter of Daniel O'Connor, a retired Royal British Navy man, and Nancy Noughton O'Connor. She was the mother of Corporal William E. Ball of the 105th Machine Gun Battalion, 27th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, who was killed in the Hindenburg Line on Sept. 25, 1918.

His body was one of the first brought back to Yonkers after the war and buried with military honors in a funeral conducted by John J. Flynn, a fellow overseas serviceman. Fort Slocum officers, mounted cavalrymen, a caisson and other military equipment were in the cortege. Her son, Harry J. Ball, served in the Spanish-American War.
