Ada and her early life with her parents

Ada Dandridge Ball was born in Richmond, Virginia on Sunday, May 23, 1880.  Her parents were Augustus William Ball (1848-1929) and Isora Lee (1848-1929).  She was their only child.  Ada has two very unique names.  Those names appear elsewhere in the family tree, so I assume that she was named after those others.  She was likely named Ada after her mother's sister Ada Wilson Lee Davidson (1858-1935) and Dandridge after her paternal grandfather Dandridge Ball.

Contemporary History: COVID-19

I thought I'd start this post off with some current events as we are living through history right now in 2020.  As family looks back on this post in years to come, I'd like to give some personal perspective about the COVID-19 or Corona Virus.
