Mr. Ball died suddenly Wednesday evening while seated in his automobile on the parking lot of the Millville, N.J. Municipal Airport. His body was found Thursday morning. An autopsy revealed that he had suffered a heart seizure and that influenza bordering on pneumonia, which kept him bedfast three weeks in March, was the contributory cause of death.
His body was brought to Muncie about 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, accompanied by his widow, Mrs. Frances Davies Ball, and daughter, Dorothy Ann. His sister, Mrs. Lucina Ball Owsley, and her husband, Col. Alvin M. Owlsey, arrived from their home in Dallas, Tex. yesterday. Another daughter, Mrs. Barbara Foley of New York, a son, George, who attends school in the East, and two other sisters, Mrs. Fred J. Petty, and Mrs. A.M. Bracken, both of Muncie, also survive.
Mr. and Mrs. Ball, whose home is at 10 Wiltshire Road, Westwood, have occupied an apartment in Millville since early this year when Mr. Ball assumed his new duties as president and general manager of a glass plant which his company purchased at Millville.
Mrs. Ball was with their daughter, Mrs. Foley, a recent mother, in New York when Mr. Ball died. William H. Ball rushed by plane to her side immediately after word of the death was received in Muncie. Edmund F. Ball, a cousin, and Mr. Petty flew to Millville in the former's plane. William Ball returned to Muncie about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon and Mr. Petty and Edmund Ball arrived home at 6:15 o'clock last evening.
Hundreds of messages of condolences had been received at the Ball home last night, many of them coming from friends abroad.
