Japhet A. Ball, enlisted July, 1827, in Col.
Thom M. Neal's Battalion of mounted
volunteerss, to fight the Indians in the
north part of the State. This was
known as the Winnebago war. He again
enlisted, and was commissioned by Gov.
Reynolds as First Lieutenant, June 18,
1831. A treaty with Black Hawk, the
chief, terminated hostilities. The
Indians commenced depredations again, in the
spring of 1832. J. A. Ball was
commissioned by Gov. Reynolds, Apr.
28, 1832, as Capt. of a Company in Long's
Odd Battalion of Inf. It was mustered
out in June, 1832, for the purpose of
changing to a mounted organization, but that
ended his military career. Mr. Ball
served from 1843 to 1856 as Justice of the
Peace. He was elected and commissioned
by Gov. Bissell Nov. 14, 1857, as
Associate Judge of Sangamon county, for four
years. The township of Ball was named
for him.
Judge Ball says that on the first day of Jan.,
1831, while the "deep snow" was falling, he
killed fourteen deer. They would
founder in the snow, and were easily taken.
He built a saw mill on Sugar creek, and sold
a large quantity of lumber at the mill, and
at times kept teams running to Springfield.
The scarcity of money for a few years after
the financial crash of 1837, was very severe
on the new settlements. The Judge says
that during one of those years he did an
extensive business in the lumber trade, and
his total receipts in cash was exactly
seventy-five cents.
