     Davis W. Ball enlisted in the Mexican War and went to Vera Cruz under General Winfield Scott between 1847 and 1848.² He appeared on the census of 4 October 1850 at Wayne, Cass Co., MI; "Davis W." age 25, b. OH, farmer, with wife Catherine; living with parents, etc.³ He appeared on the census of 7 July 1860 at Wayne, Cass Co., MI; "Davis W." age 35, b. OH, farmer.⁴ From an obituary in the "Dowagiac Daily News": Davis Ball passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Charles Dine in Hamilton Township yesterday afternoon at about three o'clock, aged past 92 years and by his passing one of the few surviving heroes of the Mexican War has gone to his reward. Davis Ball was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Stephan Ball, pioneer settlers in Volinia Township [an error; it was Wayne Township], their farm being located in the northwest corner of the township and until a few years ago still remaining in the possession of the son, Davis. When a boy Davis went back to his old home in Ohio and there at the age of 20 years he enlisted as a private to serve in the war with Mexico. He followed the fortunes of his regiment through all the stirring and dangerous battles of that period, marching with his regiment to the walls of Mexico City and staying all through the war until the Mexican general, Santa Ana, capitulated and acknowledged defeat. Those were times of peril to the soldiers of the United States, and times of hardship as well. They were in a strange country, cut off completely from help if overwhelmed by numbers, and poorly provisioned. Santa Ana was an inveterate foe of the Americans, and his orders were to spare the lives of none. Mr Ball's life after his return from the war was a quiet one, he seldom alluded to his services as a soldier. He was a good citizen and a good man. He was a good husband and a good father, and his declining years were passed free from care, thanks to the affection of his children. His funeral will be held at Wayne Chapel Sunday afternoon at two o'clock, with burial in the Crane Cemetery.²
