Ball, Franklin, 1822-1886

 
Ball was born in Virginia and spent time teaching and farming before becoming a Methodist Episcopal minister in 1856. Places he worked in what is now West Virginia included Charleston, Morgantown and Wheeling, where he was Presiding Elder from 1873-76. He ended his career in New York, serving churches in Elmira Marcellus, Phoenix, and Towanda.

Additional information can be found in the Personal Sketch published in The West Virginia Pulpit of the Methodist Episcopal Church (Wheeling, WV: Frew, Campbell, & Hart, 1883). An obituary appeared in the records of the nineteenth session of the Central New York Conference, which took place in Canandaigua in October 1886.

    Ball User Guide

    Robert H. Ellison

    The User Guide for the Library of Appalachian Preaching is a Google Sheet that can be searched, sorted, and downloaded for offline use.

    At the moment, Ball has only one sermon in the Library; it has a Guide of its own so the records will be complete. It includes the title, sermon text, date and place the sermon was preached, and so on. This information is available in the master list of sermons as well.
