- Mrs. Ball Honored on Eightieth Birthday
A party was given Sunday in honor of Mrs. Arminda Ball of Cass City honoring her eightieth birthday which takes place the thirty-first of August. The event was celebrated at the home of her daughter, Mrs, Floyd Reid.
A bountiful potluck lunch was served at noon. The centerpiece was a birthday cake adorned with eighty white candles. Mrs. Ball was one of the early settlers of this community. She came to Cass City, the bride of the late John A. Ball. They made their first home in a log cabin on a farm in Greenleaf township on the Tuscola-Sanilac County line. They remained there and later built a new house which still stands on the property.
She has five daughters, Mrs. Delia Greenleaf, Mrs. Charles Gilbert, Mrs. Luther Sowden, Mrs. Floyd Reid, and Mrs. James Simons.
Since the death of Mr. Ball, she has resided in Cass City. Mrs. Ball is in good health and can still recall many of the incidents of the early days.
Those attending the party were Mrs. Delia Greenleaf, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gilbert and daughters, Misses Grace and June, Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Howarth and daughters, Barbara Jean and Carol June, all of Cass City, Mr. and Mrs. James Simons and children, Betty, Orville and Glen, of Almont, and Mrs. Leslie Yokey and granddaughter, Miss Deborah Tompkins, of Pontiac.
