Webster C. Ball (1848-1922) born in Fredricktown, Ohio and founded the Ball Watch Company. In 1891 the railroad officials commissioned Webb as their Chief Time Inspector. He was tasked to establish precision standards and to create a reliable timepiece system for railroad chronometers. This was due to a collision between Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway trains in Kipton, Ohio.
