Galesburg Enterprise, Friday, August 4, 1899
Johnnie Ball Dead - Johnnie Ball died suddenly of heart failure at his home 
two miles southwest of town, last night about 9 o'clock. Mr. Ball was in town 
yesterday evening apparently well and happy as usual, but upon returning home 
he complained of not feeling well, and while Mat Johnson, who has been working 
with Mr. Ball this summer, was eating supper Johnnie went out to milk. Mr. 
Johnson soon followed and in taking the milk to the milk house found Mr. Ball 
lying near that place, dead. The funeral will occur between 5 and 6 o'clock 
this afternoon. He leaves two daughter both living in Tennessee and a sister 
also residing in the east. Mr. Ball was of English descent and about 50 years 
of age. He had visited in England upon two different occasions and had several 
large amounts of money left to him by wealthy relatives in England. He was an 
early settler of this community and notwithstanding his odd character his 
sudden death will be a source of grief to all who knew him.
