WALPOLE STEREOGRAPHER
Mr. Ball was born in Alstead, N.H. April 27, 1818. His father, Thomas, was 26 and his mother, Elizabeth Gould Ball was 22. He married Fanny Wood on July 15, 1851, in Walpole, New Hampshire. They had one child during their marriage, a son named Milon Wood Ball.
Harvey Ball died on December 11, 1902, in Nashua, New Hampshire, having lived a long life of 84 years, and was buried there.
He moved to Nashua from Walpole in 1870. He lived on Turnpike Street, at #28 per the Frizzell History. In addition to a successful photography business, he operated a jewelry store and bought, sold and repaired old clocks. This business was located on Main Street, in the MacDonald's store location (#109). Mr. Ball also produced substantial quantities of good quality cartes de visite (CDVs). Most of these were portraits or still lifes, but he also did animal photography and outdoor scenes. Both of the latter were somewhat unusual, and several examples of these cartes de visite were sold at national auctions in 1992 for several hundred dollars each.
