Dr. Clay Adra Ball, a prominent Muncie physician for 65 years and one of the founders of Muncie's first hospital, died Thursday in Westminster Village at the age of 102. He was a former resident of 1015 Linden St.
Dr. Ball was born Nov. 19, 1877, the son of George Mansfield Ball and Susannah Hale Ball, on the family's 120-acre farm in Monroe Township. He attended a one-room country school near his home, and at age 17 attended high school--a room above a grocery store in Cowan--for one year. He later studied under the county Superintendent of Public Instruction in southwest Delaware County. This qualified him to be a teacher, and for the following two years he taught in a one-room school in southern Delaware County.
Dr. Ball enrolled at Indiana University in 1896, one of 500 students at the university. He graduated with an A.B. degree in chemistry in 1902 and taught for one year at a small school in Patriot, Ind., on the Ohio River. He enrolled in the Medical College of Indiana, Indianapolis, in 1903, where he studied until 1906, graduating with a master's degree.
Dr. Ball began his career as a physician in Muncie in 1906 in an upstairs room of a bank building at Mulberry and Main streets, when the population here was 20,000. In 1907, he and two other doctors set up a simple hospital, Muncie's first, on the second floor of the old Star building at Adams and Mulberry streets, where he stayed until 1913 when he left for three months to study at the New York Post Graduate Medical School.
Upon returning to Muncie, he set up practice in his own office at High and Jackson streets, where he remained until 1916. At that time he charged 50 cents for office calls.
Dr. Ball met his wife, Helen Mauck Ball, in 1916 when he vaccinated her against smallpox. They were married in a Burton, Ohio church near the bride's home and honeymooned in New York and Boston.
Upon his return to Muncie, Dr. Ball purchased a home at Adams and Franklin streets, with family living quarters upstairs and the doctor's office downstairs. Dr. Ball practiced medicine in that office until 1971. He also practiced at Ball Memorial Hospital beginning in 1928.
In 1971, at the age of 93, Dr. Ball retired after 65 years in the medical profession. He had been named Indiana Physician of the Year in 1956.
Dr. Ball was a member of First United Presbyterian Church, Delaware-Blackford County Medical Society, Indiana State Medical Assn., American Medical Assn., Delaware Lodge 46 F&AM, Sons of the American Revolution, Muncie Rotary Club and the Indiana University and Purdue University alumni associations. He was reportedly the oldest living alumnus of both universities.
Services will be at 3 p.m. Saturday in Meeks Mortuary with Dr. Laurence Martin officiating. Interment will follow in Beech Grove Cemetery. Friends may call at the mortuary from 1-3 p.m. Saturday.
