Alfred Ball
In Loving Memory
of
Alfred Ball,
who passed away on the 25th April 1926
aged 62 years.
In family grave no. 69, square 54.
A traveling showman who died in West Ham Mental Asylum in April 1926. During his career as showman, he and his son William exhibited "animated pictures", so I'm guessing it was perhaps a Zoetrope or similar.
Alfred Ball was born in 1864 at Hull, East Yorkshire. His father was also a showman.
Alfred's address on the 1901 census was given as: "4 caravans on a piece of land to the rear of Denmark Street, Lambeth".
The 1911 census gives his address as "caravan, Mortlake Road" (West Ham).Top

who died September 1st, 1911,

Mourn not for her whom God hath blest,

Killed by a wasp sting
Erdington Woman's sad death
Evidence at the Inquest
Evidence was called to show that Mrs. Banner complained to a neighbour on August 19 that she had been stung on the leg by a wasp, and suggested that the neighbour should rub her leg with white oil. This treatment was pursued for a week, with the addition of bread and linseed poultices. Mrs. Banner afterwards complained of the leg feeling stiff and the pain spreading, and on Wednesday last Dr. Weeks was sent for.
George Banner, the husband, said that his wife told him the day afterwards that she had been stung on the leg with a wasp, but as she did not complain of any great pain, he attached no importance to this, nor did he look at the leg until the following Wednesday. He said his wife objected to doctors.
Mrs. Hallam, a neighbour, said that she attended to Mrs. Banner's leg, applying white oil and linseed poultices at her request. Witness did not like to advise her to go to a doctor, knowing her dislike to them.
Dr. Weeks said on examining the leg he discovered acute blood-poisining. The sting of the wasp had entered the main-vein of the leg, and had worked higher up the vein, causing stoppage of the blood. The spread of the poison had been acceleratedby the rubbing, and death was caused by a clot of blood escaping from the circulation and getting on to the brain.
In answer to the Coroner, he said there would have been more chance of saving the woman if medical assistance had been called in earlier.
The jury returned a verdict of "Death from blood-poisoning caused through the sting of a wasp," and expressed the opinion that medical aid should have been sought sooner.
