.... One of Harry G. ("Pat") SHRINER's most outstanding portraits is the life size portrait of the late William BALL, which is still in the possession of his daughter, Miss Cora BALL. Many Fairfield citizens enjoy visiting the BALL residence and viewing this outstanding portrait of one of Fairfield's former well known citizens. William BALL spent many hours posing for the portrait in the studio of Harry SHRINER. The portrait was painted to be shown at the St. Louis exhibition where it received high praise....
