- Ball_Brothers abstract "The Ball brothers were five American industrialists and philanthropists, responsible for founding the Ball Corporation, and funding the institution that would become Ball State University as well as a number of other projects in their community of Muncie, Indiana.The Ball brothers, best known for their home canning jars, first went into business together in 1880. Their parents, Lucius Styles Ball (1814-1878) and Maria Polly Bingham Ball (1822-1892) had six sons and two daughters: Lucina Amelia, Lucius Lorenzo, William Charles, Edmund Burke, Frank Clayton, Mary Frances, George Alexander, and Clinton Harvey, who died in infancy. The family was raised in eastern Ohio and in upstate New York.After the brothers relocated from New York to Muncie, Indiana in 1885, due of the abundance of natural gas in the area, the Ball Corporation continued to prosper, and the Ball family made a number of philanthropic investments in the community. The first factory to produce canning jars, known sometimes as "Ball jars" due to their prolific manufacture and use, was opened in 1888. Since then, the company has subsequently expanded and diversified the enterprise. By 1937, the value of the company was estimated at nearly seven million dollars. In the following decades, Ball State University, Ball Memorial Hospital, the local YMCA, and the Minnetrista cultural center and golf course were all funded in whole or part by the Ball brothers' philanthropy. The Ball brothers did not forget New York or the help of their uncle, George Harvey Ball, who shared the Ball family dedication to higher education and who founded Keuka College. The Ball brothers provided funds and land for Keuka College in New York (see below).".
