Our subject is one of two children, his sister, Alice now deceased having been the wife of John M. Lucas. They had one daughter, Maud now 10 years of age, who is living with her uncle, Dr. James Ball died when our subject was only 2 and sometime after his mother removed to Knox County, Indiana where she became the wife of Horace A. EDWARDS, who later moved to Sullivan County. The mother's death occurred in 1881. Dr. Ball was reared to manhood in Sullivan County where he received a common school education with which his ambition did not allow him to be satisfied, for, while still in his youth he laid the foundation of study and research which he has continued in the years that followed. He began the study of medicine in the office of Dr. William A. Fleming at Pleasantville, Indiana in the winter of 1880 and the following autumn entered Cincinnati College of Medicine & Surgery. 3 years later he was graduated from that institution, where he took a special course in chemistry for which he received a special diploma. The Dr. is a member of the Parke County Medical Society of the Mitchell District Medical Society and of the State & American Medical Associations. To the conventions of the latter in many different states, the Dr. has been made a delegate for several consecutive years. After the completion of his collegiate course, he located at once at Judson which has since been the field of his operations. After having practiced 10 years, in the spring of 1893 he supplemented his medical studies by taking a post-graduate course at Chicago, in the Chicago Polyclinic Hospital. At the home of the bride's parents, Robert and Amanda Clark, whose sketch appears elsewhere in the volume, in April 1884, was celebrated the marriage of Dr. Ball and Miss Emma M. Clark. For 18 years our subject has been a member of the Baptist Church, and fraternally, belongs to Howard Lodge No. 71, IOOF of Rockville. He is a Republican and in 1888 was chosen Trustee of his township by that party and reelected to the position 2 years later. - Portrait & Biographical Record of Montgomery, Parke & Fountain Counties, Indiana.
