Winfield A. Ball, son of Cyrus and Annette Ball, was born in Starke County, Indiana, May 16, 1867, and departed this life February 25, 1928. When six years of age, his folks moved to Emporia, Kansas residing there four years. They moved to this vicinity where he has since resided.

25 years ago, he married Elvira Harris of Indianapolis, Indiana, who survives him. Besides his wife, he leaves to mourn his loss his twin brother William of Miller; Brady S. of Lawrence; and a sister Mrs. Kate Peterson of Denver.

Mr. Ball was in his usual good health last evening when he started home from town during a lift in the electrical storm. East of the Ed Hodges place he fell, or as he thought was shocked by lightning. He reached home after twelve and must have laid unconscious in the ditch by the side of the road for more than an hour. Dr. Reid was called and treated him. Sunday he was lots better and sat up and visited with his twin brother. About ten o'clock he was taken suddenly worse and passed away in a few minutes. He was laid to rest in Lincoln cemetery.
