This is a photo of my great-grandfather (William F. Ball) and my great-grandmother (Lucia Ball) on the platform of the depot at Myers, Montana. My great-grandfather was the agent & operator there for almost forty years and I believe this photo was taken shortly before his retirement in the early 1950s. To supplement his income from the Northern Pacific Railway, he was also a chiropractor and an optician. When he wasn't copying train orders and conducting railroad business, he treated the various ailments and maladies of the other railroad employees as well as local farmers and ranchers.
