Inscriptions says the following about this cemetery:Balltown Cemetery — Howe Township–Local lifetime resident, Clarence Alfred
Robinson, told me that “old” Mr. & Mrs. Watson and their daughter were buried
beside a spring near a camp called “The Last Resort” a quarter of a mile back on
a lane off the Watson Farm Road. They never had any tombstones.In the 1880 census there was an Isaac Watson age about 83, born 1797 in England
