j. E. Ball.

John Edward Ball was born in
Morgan county, Ohio, January 14th,
1881, and died at the home of his
son, R. E. Ball, August Sth, 1916,
aged 50 years, months and 25 days.
Mr.. Ball was able to trace his an
e.stry back to revolutionary times.
It was his opinion that George Wash
ington was descendant of the Balls
on the maternal side. His parents
moved from Morgan county to Wash
ineton county, Ohio. Here he spent
the early years of his life. The west
ern life with it's hard labor developed
nhvsical strength in the growing
youth. 49,
In the year 1851 he left Ohio with
a purpose we'll fixed to go to Call
fornia. Failing to, get in connectlon
with a company bound westward ne
was compelled to wait year IN Mis-
souri,, a part of the time at Waverly
and part in Lexington. This year OF
waiting did not daunt his courage or
change his purpose. In the spring OF
1852 he engaged to accompany
number of men and to serve them as
driver and chore boy. They had an
OK train. so called, and were nearly
five months on the road. On their
arrival in California he became inter-
ested in fruit raising, farming and
stock raising. For nine years he
stayed in California. In 1861 he re-
turned to Ohio, and on Dec. L, OF the
same year, he and Miss Martha A.
Hayes were united in marriage. They
were the proud parents of two sones,
Buel S. of Ellston, and R. E. OF Van
Vert.
In 1877 they made trip to Cali
fornia intending to make it their per-
manent home. He discovered in a
very short time that for some reason
the climatic conditions were not ia
vorable to the health of the wife and
younger son. In about one year they
returned to Ohio. That was their
home till coming to Iowa in 1912.
The wife of Mr.. Ball died June 16,
1899. After her death Mr.. Ball
made his home with sister until
coming to Iowa, then he lived with
the sons.
He was of a family of six children,
four sons and two sisters. There is
left now but one sister, who resides
in Parkersburg, w. v.
The deceased was a great reader.
He kept posted on current events, and
was very fond of reading history.
Though not making public profess
sion of faith in Jesus as Christ and
Son of God, he was believer and
reader and student of the Bible, be-
ing we'll informed 1.-The great truths
OF Gods book.
A good man has gone to his rest.

The sons and their families have
the sympathy of the entire commun-
ity. May the Heavenly Father lead
them all to trust in Him.

the home of his son r. q. Ball on:

The Doctor.

The doctor is a human life insur-
ance policy which is usually paid for
on the installment plan. This plan
Of payment is so popular that great
many doctors are forced to make col
lections once in every twelve or tif-
teen years and thus work untold hard
ship upon their patients, who resent
the act by buying patent medicine en-
tick.
Before being allowed to practice
upon a helpless and INDECENT COM
munity, the doctor is obliged to pos
sess three things-a diploma, a shin
gle and experience. The single and
the experience are not absolutely
necessary, but the diploma is required
by law. In some states, a handsome
autographed diploma can be secured
for the price of a good family driving
horse, and it will last just as long as
one which was earned by four years
of daily contact with a free clinic.
The doctor is always in demand in
the winter time, when money is
scarce and the only form of recreation
is in entertaining the grip. Some peo-
pie always arrange to have the grip
fourteen miles from the doctor office
just after cloudburst, which makes
the roads look like drainage ditch
projects. 1t would seem that people
could be more thoughtful and not
have the grip except when the roads
are good and money can be borrowed
at the bank at per cent This would
enable the doctor to catch up with his
lost sleep and his gasoline bill at one
and the same time.
The doctors chief duty is to dag
nose. This consists of feeling the
patients pulse and waiting for the
symptoms to come to the surface. If
after reasonable wait the symptoms
do not show up the patient is dis
charged as cured, and no charge
made except for professional services
and rear tire blowout. If, on the
other hand the symptoms begin to
stick out prominently, they are curb
ed at once by the blushing pink pellet
and rushed off their feet by the calo-
mel capsule. After the patient has
swallowed fourteen of these capsules
in gloomy state of resignation, he
would prefer to retain the symptoms
and die natural death.
The specialist is doctor with de-
luxe trimmings and single track
equipment, and is distinguished by a
Van Dyke beard and a Pullman car.
income. Every doctor would like to
be specialist, but some are deferred
by lack of training, and some by
the voice of cOnscience.-Howard
