Edward Ball (businessman)
Edward Gresham Ball (March 21, 1888 – June 24, 1981) was an American businessperson. He was a powerful figure in business and politics in Florida for decades, despite the fact that he never held public office and did not own the assets he controlled. He worked for and with his brother-in-law, Alfred I. du Pont for nine years before running the Alfred I. duPont Testamentary Trust's businesses by himself for another 46 years. He led the St. Joe Company to become a major player in several industries in Florida.
==Early years==
Edward Ball was born at Ball's Neck in Northumberland County, Virginia〔(Virginia Tourism website: A Colonial Journey Through Virginia's Northern Neck )〕 and educated in the one-room ''Shiloh Schoolhouse''. After completing primary school, he convinced his father to let him quit school and get a job.〔 He had always been obsessed with making money; at one time, he prospected for gold in Alaska. However, when Ball's older sister, Jessie Ball became the third wife of Alfred I. du Pont in 1921, Edward was given the chance of a lifetime. He began working for his brother-in-law in 1923 at the lofty salary of $5,000 a year, and moved to Delaware where he was publicly named manager of the Clean Food Products Company. Privately, he was Mr. du Pont’s confidential business partner and became a shrewd financier and caretaker of the du Pont de Nemours estate fortune.〔(Florida State University: Coastal Laboratory Tidings-Spring, 2000 )〕 After Jessie & Alfred moved to Florida in 1926, Edward joined them.
