: Big Timber Pioneer, 20 December 1996
Dimple Dutton Ball, 94, passed away of natural causes in the Pioneer Medical Center in Big Timber on Sunday, December 13, 1996.
She was born May 12, 1902, on the Dutton ranch 12 miles south of Big Timber. Her father William Dutton, had homesteaded the land after it was released from the Indian reservation. She attended the "Dutton School," so-called because it was built on the ranch.
She married Noah Ball on October 25, 1922. Dimple's life centered around helping her husband, a master carpenter. They began building cabins and homes along the Boulder River south of Big Timber during the Depression. Although Noah usually hired several men to work with him he used to boast that Dimple helped build every building. They even built one cabin alone.
Dimple and Nah's door was always open for all who traveled the Boulder Road. Friends and strangers alike were always welcome for a hot meal and conversation. Dimple and Noah never turned away anyone in need of a helping hand. They left a lasting legacy on the Boulder.
Before retiring in Big Timber in 1963, they had lived up the boulder 33 years and built 57 cabins. Dimple also delivered custom furniture that Noah made from his shops in Big Timber, Livingston, and Billings.
She enjoyed knitting, embroidery, and crocheting. Most of all, Dimple enjoyed visitors. She will always be remembered for her warm friendship, wonderful cooking, generous hospitality, and kindness.
Dimple was preceded in death by her husband, Noah, in 1978 and seven of her brothers and sisters.
Survivors include her sister, Helen Cowles of Bozeman; three nephews, Donald Cowles, III and wife Patty of Bozeman, Ray Ronning and wife Maxine of Albany, Oregon, and Walter Dutton and wife Bernice of Whitehall; three nieces Donna Caruso and husband Dick of Livingston, Lois Hinton and husband Gene of Whitehall, and Linda Slack and husband Bruce of Pineville, Louisiana.
