Deb, I see no connection yet, but the places (e.g., Rapid City) are very close, so there may well be some.
I checked for SSNs and found 3. Forrest Fay's is 504-07-1009; John Henry's is 504-12-3792; and Charles Forrest's is 717-18-6594.You may already have these, but if not, they give you death dates and last residences for the latter 2.
Among you Ball family members, do you have an Arthur F. He married Amanda Mae Whiting, the widow of Charles Henry Batchelder who died in 1928 in Dale, Emmons, ND. Mae and Arthur may have married there or in California where they wound up.
