Joplin Globe, June 12, 1902. "The family of Isaac Ball, who lived at the corner of Fifth and Division Streets, have been notified of his murder in Biggs, Calif. on May 31. The information was contained in a letter received Tuesday, a telegram claimed to have been sent at the time of the murder having failed to arrive. Ball and his son George have been gone from here several months. Both are blacksmiths, and they went to California thinking perhaps they could command better prices for their work. The family was to have been sent for later. The details concerning his death are very meager, but it seems that Ball had quarreled with a man named Bob Moore, and the latter had deliberately stabbed him without provocation, from the results of which he died a few days afterward. The murderer escaped. His victim was buried in Biggs. Ball was 60 years old and was well known in East Joplin, and liked by everybody."-received by email on August 27, 2015 from FAG volunteer Thomas Wilson (#47312998)
