My great grandfather was William Ball born at Exploits 1856, son of William (and Sarah???) Ball. He doesn't seem to be the same William that married Tamar Dart. Cousins perhaps?

For your records you may want to know that Tamar Dart is buried in the United Church Cemetery in Norhern Arm (Botwood). She is buried next to her husband William. Only one headstone remains standing and that is Tamar's. Their son Jesse (Jerry) and his wife Effie (nee Taylor) are buried nearby. My father was Reginald Ball, son of Jesse who was a son of William and Tamar. Since I have moved back to the island I have met many relatives of the family whom I had never met before. Two nights ago I met Valerie Dart whose great grandfather was Josiah Dart, brother of Tamar. Relatives will find me in Gander or at my place near the water in Bobby's Cove (near Point Leamington and Pleasnatview) just 20 minutes from the cemetery in Northern Arm. The net is cast wider every day! Cindy (Ball) Fleet Hello to you all in St. John’s.

It is approx 120 years old but was bought by my Grandfather in 1937 for $200.00. He bought it from Cyril Scevious but it was originally owned by Matthew Dalton. When Matthew dies, his wife went to live with Cyril Sceviour. We bought it last year and have done considerable improvements. Don't have an electronic version of a "before" picture but you have captured the "after"! Holly LeDrew & Greg Rideout Vicki:
