DEATH OF DAVID BALL
David Ball, one of the pioneer residents of Cass county, dies at the home of his son, W.B. Ball of Clay township Sunday morning at 9 o'clock, at the advanced age of 87 years and 6 months. The funeral will be held at 11 o'clock this morning from the Bethel M.E. Church. Services to be conducted by Rev. Goodwin. Interment will be made in the cemetery at that place.
Mr. Ball was a native of Pennsylvania and came to Cass county many years ago, having put in his lot with the early interests of this region. His long residence in this community had given him a very wide acquaintance and he was one of the best known men in the county. He was a man of extensive information and of a mechanical turn of mind which had several times attracted considerable attention to himself. Many years ago he appeared among his neighbors riding a bicycle, the first machine of the kind ever seen in these parts. He made the machine himself and used it for a long time. That was years before the bicycle of modern commerce had made its appearance. Five children, four sons and one daughter survive him--William B and Lafayette, of Clay township; Joseph H of Leiter's Ford; James H. of Greentown, and Mrs Charles Cook, of Clay township.
