Brothers See Each Other First Time in Sixty-two years
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Ball of Mound City, Kansas visited Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Clark of Melbourne the latter part of last week. Mr. Clark and Mr. Ball are half brothers and this was the first time they had seen each other in 62 years.
They found that they look much alike, have ways alike, talk alike, laugh alike and lie alike. They weight over 250 pounds each and there are six years difference in their ages. They were both born in Izard County, but Ball moved with his parents to Kansas when he was three years old.
