Biographical / Historical Note
Wanda Ball Moser was a teacher and early non-indigenous settler in Southern Nevada during the early-twentieth century. She attended the University of Nevada, Reno and the State Normal School in Los Angeles, California. After graduating in 1917, she returned to Nevada and taught first grade at Las Vegas Grammar School. Later, she taught in a log cabin schoolhouse in Pioche-Ely.
Her parents, Charles Packard Ball and Emily Rebecca Ward Ball, arrived in the Las Vegas Valley in 1906 and participated in the first land auction.
Wanda Ball Moser married C. P. Moser in 1918. He worked in the clerical office for the Los Angeles and Salt Lake City Railroad, and he eventually became a certified public accountant for a firm based in Southern California.
