Madisonville Democrat, (Monroe Co. TN) Wednesday, February 9, 1927, Page 2:
“Notchey Creek News---Mrs. Sarah Ball, Aunt Sarah, as she was familiarly called, at the age of 75 years, was called to her heavenly home one day last week. Aunt Sarah was a consecrated soldier in the army of the Lord for 62 years. At the time of her death she was a member of the Notchey Creek Church. To mourn her flight beyond the veil of tears, she leaves three children, Epp King of Tellico Plains, Jake King of Chattanooga and Mrs. Brad Hicks of Big Creek; some brothers and sisters and a great number of other relatives and friends. At the time of her death she was residing with her daughter, Mrs. Hicks. Her body was laid to rest in the Notchey Creek Cemetery, Feb. 5, 1927. May God cheer the grief-stricken loved ones.”

“Interesting News on Route Six---This morning little Gertie came to see us and said unto me, “Mrs. Ball is dead,” and within a very few minutes several people came along; among the number was Mr. Ervin White, who hauled the remains of Mrs. Ball. I went with Mr. White and those with him to Notchey Creek Church and cemetery. After funeral and burial services were over, I came home, stopping a few minutes at the home of Mr. & Mrs. George Rogers, then came on and stayed awhile with Mr. Sam Torbett at his home.
Sarah Tallent, daughter of James and Fannie Webb Tallent, was born July 19th 1852 and died February 4th 1927. She was married to Andrew King on Sept. 4th 1866. To that union thirteen children were born, of whom, only three are living: Juriette Hicks, E.L. King and J.P. King. She professed faith in Christ when she was thirteen years old and united with the Notchey Creek Church, and remained a member of that church until her death. After Andrew King’s death, she married W.B. King and to that union one child was born. Mollie died while very young. After W.B. King’s death she married Henry Ball. Mr. Ball died in 1917. Mrs. Ball had made her home for some time with her daughter, Mrs. Juriette Hicks, and died there. Mrs. Ball was buried today in Notchey Creek Cemetery; funeral services were held from the Notchey Creek Church by Rev. W.G. Smiley and Rev. John T. Stakely. Among the large concourse of relatives and friends who attended the funeral were Mrs. Callie Cobb and two little daughters of Tellico Plains, who are grandchildren of Mrs. Ball, and are cousins of mine. Mrs. Ball leaves one sister, Mrs. Mary Watson and one brother, Mr. Jasper Tallent. She leaves twenty-six grandchildren. Funeral discoursed was from the Fifteenth Chapter of First Corinthians.” ---Georgia Alfred Stakely, Staurday night, February 6, 1927.
