Death, the common leveler of us all, visited one our homes and removed from our midst, Clarence A. Ball, a well loved and highly respected citizen of the community. The past several months he had suffered a slight illness, but his condition seemed improved when suddenly without warning, last Friday night he expired while conversing with his wife.
..Clarence A., son of Sara C. and Joseph H. Ball, was born in Beverly, Ohio, February 14, 1874 and passed away at his home in this city Friday, September 17th., 1943.
..In November 1879, he came with his parents and sisters to Kansas settling on a farm southeast of Kensington, and there, Gus (as we all knew him) grew to manhood, obtaining his education in the schools of the community in which he lived. In early life he united with the Congregational Church of Athol, and lived his life with his fellowmen according to the teachings of the faith, and died, firm in the belief of a better life beyond.
..On October 3, 1903, he was united in marriage with Effie Maude Bowen. To them was born one daughter, Theo Berneice, now Mrs. J. A. Smith.
..For a number of years Mr. Ball engaged in the oil business, and later was employed by the J. C. Woods Merc. Co., where he made many friends for himself and the store by his pleasant manner and courteous treatment to all. For a few years he was clerk in the post office, going from there to take over the duties of assistant manager of the Golden Belt Lumber Co., where he was employed at the time of his death.
..Surviving, besides the faithful companion of nearly forty years, are the daughter and son in law, Mr. and Mrs. Jess A. Smith; one granddaughter, Lee Ann Smith; five sisters; several nieces and nephews; and friends unnumbered only by his acquaintance.
..The sisters present at the services were: Mrs. Mattie Arnold of Salina, Kansas, Mrs. J. I. Maulsby and Mrs. J. H. Ball of Grand Island, Nebraska; the sisters unable to attend were: Mrs. M. R. Hobbs of Santa Ana, California, and Mrs. E. E. Bonnett who was taken to the Concordia hospital for treatment and who because of the seriousness of her condition has not been informed of the death of her brother.
..The parents, three sisters and an infant brother, preceded him in death.
..Funeral services were conducted from the Simmons-Rice Chapel at 2:30 o'clock Monday afternoon, in charge of Cecil Swinehart, assisted by Rev. Wiley of Kirwin. Interment was in Olive Branch Cemetery. The pall bearers were William Wieters, Bert Kunze, Alvah Lemon, Earl Womer, Oscar Rice and Ray Schoeni.
