STEPHEN BALL
HARTFORD: Secretary Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company
The accompanying vignette fairly presents the familiar features of Stephen Ball, who for twenty-four years has been officially connected with one of the most popular and progressive life insurance corporations of Connecticut. Mr. Ball is a native of New Haven, where he was born in 1839. Most of his life has been spent in this state, and a large part of his active business experience has been in Hartford with the company in whose service he is still engaged. He was in the employ of the government at New Orleans before coming from that city to Hartford in April, 1867. In the following August he formed a connection with the Hartford Life and Annuity Company as its assistant secretary. In 1874 he became its secretary, and has since been its chief manager. Mr. Ball has a thorough knowledge of the science and practice of life insurance, and in the management of that company he has been instrumental in giving it a reputation and standing which few kindred corporations have achieved. He is so thoroughly identified with the company that its history is practically his biography. Mr. Ball, at fifty-two years of age, is still in the prime of life, and devoting his undivided energies to the maintenance of the high standard of excellence in life insurance which, under his management, this company long ago reached.
