Their parents, Lucius Styles Ball (1814–78) and Maria Polly Bingham Ball (1822–92) had six sons and two daughters: Lucina Amelia (1847–1901), Lucius Lorenzo (1850–1932), William Charles (1852–1921), Edmund Burke (1855–1925), Frank Clayton (1857–1943), Mary Frances (1860–1926), George Alexander (1862–1955), and Clinton Harvey (1867– 69). The family was raised in eastern Ohio and in upstate New York. Edmund and Frank started the Wooden Jacket Can Company in 1880 in Buffalo, New York, and were soon joined in business by William and George. They sold wood-jacketed tin containers to hold paint, varnishes, and kerosene. They soon refined their product to tin-jacketed, glass-lined containers.
