Samuel Ball Passed Suddenly At Harvey
Was in Fredericton Yesterday--Dropped Dead While Talking to Friend.
Friends in Fredericton, Saint John and Harvey will learn with regret of the sudden passing at Harvey Station this morning of Samuel Ball, a former employee of the Canadian Pacific Railway.
Mr Ball, who had not been in good health for the past few years, was in Fredericton yesterday the guest of Ernest A. MacKay. He attended the morning and evening services at Saint Andrew's Presbyterian Church and drove home by automobile last night. This morning he was on his way to the post office and stopped to converse with a friend, Clifford Messer, when he dropped dead. Dr. B. H. Dougan was called as coroner and pronounced death due to natural causes.
Mr Ball was a native of Hampton and lived for some years at Saint John. For the past six years he had been living at Harvey Station and since the death of his wife three years ago he made his home with Mrs William Hunter, a distant relative. He had no near relatives, a niece, Mrs Thomas Woodland, resides in Saint John.
Mr Ball was about 68 years of age and had been employed by the C.P.R. for 48 years. About six years ago he retired on pension. While working for the C.P.R. he lost an arm in an accident and during the past couple of years had suffered several strokes. He was a man of kindly habits, well known and respected and his death will occasion sorrow.
The body is resting at the home of Mrs Martha Little, a relative of Mr Ball's wife.
While in Fredericton yesterday he was apparently in the best of health and when leaving for his home last night, spoke of coming back again soon.

Mrs W. W. E. Smith Dies in Harvey Station
The death occurred last night at her home here of Mrs W. W. E. Smith, one of the oldest and best loved people in this section of York County, at the age of 94 years.
Mrs Smith was born in Harvey Station, a daughter of the late David Little and Margaret Herbert and for 75 years conducted a general store here and was well known all through the district for her honesty and integrity and fair dealing with the public. She was an ardent member of St. Andrews United Church, active in all its work until age prevented her taking part. For the past five years she had made her home with her granddaughter, Mrs C. Arthur Smith. She was a life member of the W.M.S., a charter member of the W.A. and Red Cross and since the outbreak of the present war she had knit 100 pairs of socks in addition to much other work. She was a gracious lady, one whose companionship was sought by old and young alike and her death will occasion sincere sorrow. She is survived by a son, Louis Smith in Hillcrest, Alberta. Five daughters and two sons predeceased her. There are eight grandchildren including Donald Smith, M.B.E., Dartmouth, N.S. who will be here for the funeral tomorrow.
