Bio
Father: W.W. Bell (born in Tennessee) Mother: Maggie Mae Vincent (born in Tennessee) DALLAS DETECTIVE DYING AT HOSPITAL Ernest Ball, city detective, veteran member of the police department, is reported Saturday as dying at Baylor hospital, where he was taken from his home Friday night. Bell came into the department in 1918 as a motorcycle officer and worked his way up to the detective division. During the last three years, he has been in the automobile theft division, where he has made an enviable record. Attending physicians said Saturday that a leaky heart and stomach disorders would, within a short time, end the career of the Dallas officer. - June 13, 1931, Dallas Daily Times Herald, Section I, p. 2, col. 5.
