THE APPLETON BALLARD FAMILY of LANSING, MICHIGAN
Copyright (c) 1995-2013 by D La Pierre Ballard
BalCro, 30-JAN-2016
----------------------------------------------------------------
We pay homage, and justly, to great statesmen and heroes, but the home
is the center of all noble impulses and influences. If there is anyone
in the wide world who deserves the plaudits of humanity it is the
mother, wise, tender, patient and faithful, not only to her own but to
all about her as well.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The above paragraph was written in 1922 by the author's great great
aunt, Dr. L. Anna Ballard, who though she never married and did
not have children of her own, helped raise the author's grandfather,
Frederick Eugene Ballard. Additionally, in the 1890's she
singlehandedly convinced the legislature of the state of Michigan to
pass laws giving greater protection to abused women and children. She
was the only physician in Michigan willing to testify in court
regarding injuries to women and children sustained through abuse. She
did all of this in the Victorian age when most people refused to even
talk about such matters.
We had always heard that she was a true heroine, but we never knew how
much she had really accomplished.

The initial source for this webpage was a three page handout given to
many Ballard descendants in the 1960's by James Alonzo Ballard,
who was an uncle to the author. Another major source was a seven page
family history of the Appleton Ballard family by Appleton's
daughter L. Anna Ballard M.D. which was written in 1922 and has
been handed down in the family ever since. Dr. Anna Ballard, who
was called "Auntie Doctor", was a great great aunt to the author.

CHAPTER: 002: Descent Tags: Who is related to Whom and How.
****************************************************************
Perhaps you have noticed the strings of capital letters beginning with
a backslash, "\", in the charts this webpage. These are Descent Tags
which show how each person is descended from William Ballard who
came to America in 1634. In this webpage he will be referred to as
William Ballard the Immigrant. The backslash represents William
Ballard the Immigrant. Each letter following the backslash
represents a person of a generation of descent from him. For example,
look at the line of descent of the author D La Pierre Ballard.
----------------------------------------------------------------
William Ballard The Immigrant \ M.1617-1689
John Ballard \O M.1653-1715
Sherebiah Ballard \OS M.1688-1768
John Ballard \OSJ M.1719-1758
Sherebiah Ballard REV \OSJS M.1745-1828
Frederick Ballard \OSJSF M.1780-1868
Appleton Ballard "Appleton" \OSJSFA M.1809-1885

Frederick Eugene Ballard "Gene" \OSJSFAAF M.1871-1926
Loren La Pierre Ballard "La Pierre" \OSJSFAAFL M.1909-1953
D La Pierre Ballard "D" \OSJSFAAFLD M. -
----------------------------------------------------------------
Notice the Descent Tags which begin with backslashes to the right of
each persons name. Notice also the birth and death dates to the right
of the Descent Tags.
Each of the men above is a son of the man above him. Notice that the
Descent Tag ends on the right with the first letter of the person's
name to whom it applies. In some cases in which a family has more than
one child whose names begin with the same letter the younger child's
Descent Tag will end on the right side with the second or third letter
in his first name.
Each person has a unique Descent Tag from which that person's line of
descent can be derived. Additionally, two persons who have Descent
Tags can be compared to determine how they are related. By counting
the letters to the left of the persons rightmost letter and then the
backslash one can find how many generations back it was to William
Ballard the Immigrant. For example by taking the author's Descent
Tag, \OSJSFAAFLD, one can start counting at the L to the left of the
rightmost D and can count the letters and the backslash. This gives
that William Ballard the Immigrant was ten generations back from
the author. Of course, William Ballard the Immigrant, was also ten
generations back from all of the first cousins of the author.

CHAPTER: 003: The Appleton Ballard Family by L. Anna Ballard, M.D.
****************************************************************
----------------------------------------------------------------
The following is a family history by L. Anna Ballard who was a
physician in Lansing, Ingham Co, Michigan. From internal evidence
Anna wrote this account in 1922. It is believed that she lived until
about 1935. It is quoted in full because of its great historical
value. Appleton Ballard was her father.
The paragraphing has been increased for readability, and in two places
a pronoun was replaced with a title to clarify the passage. Also the
word Wilderness was capitalized because it is the name of the Civil
War battle field in Virginia.
Of particular interest is that Anna often used words which were much
more dramatic and striking than what one would normally use. One
example of this is "extinguish the family" below. Curiously, Anna's
great niece, Dorothy Mildred Ballard Ballew, who looked very much
like Anna, also used words in fashion.
Ingham County is the county of Michigan in which Lansing is
located. Hartford, Vermont is in Windsor County right on the
Connecticut River. Liverpool is on the Atlantic coast of lower Nova
Scotia, Canada.
Cousin Suzanne Ballard Sell noticed that Anna wrote inaccurately
that her brother, Alonzo Ballard, served in the First Regiment of
the Michigan Sharpshooters during the Civil War. Actually, Alonzo
Ballard served in Company C of the First Regiment of the United
States Sharpshooters. Similarly, another of Anna's brothers, Henry D.
Ballard, served in Company B of the Second Regiment of the United
States Sharpshooters.
----------------------------------------------------------------
APPLETON BALLARD AND FAMILY.
By L. Anna Ballard, M.D.
Most pioneer history is preserved through personal recollections, or
family tradition. This record is a mixture of both methods.
The heads of the Ballard family of Ingham County originally came
from far east, Appleton Ballard having been born in Hartford,
Vermont and his wife Epiphene Ellenwood was born in Liverpool,
Nova Scotia. The Ellenwoods drifted into Vermont where the families
met and Epiphene and Appleton were married in 1830. The call of the
West brought them to Sparta, Ohio in 1836.
In April 1848 the family journeyed from southern Ohio to Lansing,
Michigan. Mr. Ballard with some other Ohio men having scouted the
country in the previous February. The family travelled by special
train of two canvas covered wagons driven by Mr. Ballard and the three
older boys, followed by a carriage driven by Mrs. Ballard, and with
her the two girls and the two small boys, the youngest two years old.
They were two weeks on the road.
Page .4. 30-JAN-2016
For a few months they were housed in a plank house on the east bank of
Grand River, a block or two north of the bridge that once crossed from
Main Street to Cedar Street. The east side of the bend of the river
was for a time the prominent business center of the new city. The
first post office was located in Bush and Thomas' Store at the corner
of Main and Cedar Streets. Later businesses moved across the river, up
Main Street toward what became Washington Avenue.
The Ballards moved also, the writer of these reminiscences was born in
that plank house on the east bank of Grand River in July 1848. The
novel move that was made is not within her own recollections, but is,
however, well attested by family history. My father had brought some
lots on the south side of Main Street not far from the present
terminus of Grand Street and he had to exercise his ingenuity to get
that plank house with the mother and baby over to the new lots, for
carpenters and lumber were hard to get because settlers were coming in
so fast. So the plank house and contents were lifted onto a raft and
propelled up stream to the desired point.
There the balance of the year 1848 and first months of 1849 were
spent, then a farm was purchased south of Okemos and the next summer
was passed in the woods where the family took turns shaking hands with
"Mr. Ague". Some days they did not alternate, for I have heard the
boys tell that frequently they all had the "shakes" together and the
only way they could get the cows home was to send the dog after them.
Another horror of that summer, particularly to my mother, was the
wolves. I have heard her tell of their howling around the house at
night, even scratching at the doors. Then the men of the neighborhood
would have wolf hunts, and for a time there would be peace at night.
The domestic animals had to be as safely housed as the families at
night, and all pens for pigs, calves, sheep and chickens were built
with high strong walls of logs.
Because of the danger of extinguishing the family if we remained near
the swamps, we moved into town again, and my father and brother David
conducted the big store of the town, on Washington Avenue about where
Capital National Bank now stands, where they sold everything under one
roof from silks to buffalo robes, from codfish to pitchforks without
the dignity of the modern department store. I have in my possession
some bills of invoice preserved from father's papers.
South of Allegan Street was the capitol block where the State House
was built. On the northwest corner of this block was the house where
the Auditor General lived. His name was Swegles. North of Ottawa
Street some cottages had been built and we lived in one of them. Those
houses stood until the Tussing Building was erected. Later, about 1852
we lived in the Bennett House, which for many years stood in the
middle of the block between Ionia and Shiawassee Streets, east side of
Washington Avenue. This block dropped down from the street and some
steps led down to the walk to the house.
Out of the principal hostelries of those years was the Ohio House on
Washington Street facing the south side of the Capitol block. When it
was sold our father purchased some of the dishes. One large blue and
white platter decorated with pastoral scenes is now a prized
Page .5. 30-JAN-2016
possession of sister Alice (Mrs. W. O. Crosby). The Wests have it
now.
One winter night the store burned. Father had a few months before
purchased a tract of land north of town, just within the present city
limits. I have the government deed by which Uncle Sam transferred the
land to Appleton Ballard. Before spring the house was enclosed and
the family moved in, and the boys were clearing off the forest of
heavy timber to make place for spring crops.
We did not see many horses in those days but the sturdy oxen did
valiant service in starting Lansing's prosperity. For a time the
family continued to attend the Free Baptist Church on Kalamazoo Street
between Washington and Capitol Avenues. I can remember riding on
Sunday mornings behind the ox team up Washington Avenue in a not very
straight path as we had to dodge the stumps, oftentimes with mud half
way to the hubs.
Later the First Methodist Church at North Lansing became the church of
the family, and through the remainder of his life my father was an
official member and class leader. His honesty and integrity were
unimpeachable, a man of large sympathies and generous impulses, he was
charitable, both in his opinions of others and his conduct toward
them. In his political preferences he was a Republican and a strong
advocate of temperance, even radical on the subject. He spent the last
ten years of his life as a vegetable gardener, paying unusual
attention to the propagation of choice new varieties of vegetables.
Father died October 26, 1885, aged 76 years. Mother died March 31,
1888, aged 79 years. She had not only brought up her own ten children
but also three grandchildren who had become motherless. Not one of the
thirteen brought sorrow to that home, or failed to receive the respect
of their contemporaries. We pay homage, and justly, to great statesmen
and heroes, but the home is the center of all noble impulses and
influences. If there is anyone in the wide world who deserves the
plaudits of humanity it is the mother, wise, tender, patient and
faithful, not only to her own but to all about her as well. The entire
family of ten children, three of them born in Lansing, lived to adult
age and most of them to old age.
James Allen Ballard the eldest enlisted in 1861 in the Third
Michigan Infantry serving his country in the Civil War until he
dropped from heart disease on the march into the Wilderness in
Virginia.
Sindenia A. Ballard, after teaching school several years, married
Dr. G. W. Topping of Dewitt, Michigan. She died at the home of her
son in Columbus, Ohio, at the age of 66.
David E. Ballard in his early twenties (1857) became a pioneer of
Kansas, where he served the state under General Jim Lane through
border slavery troubles, while the historic John Brown was
shipping wagon loads of escaped negroes from Missouri into freedom.

Page .6. 30-JAN-2016
In 1860 brother David was elected to the First Kansas Legislature.
Immediately at close of the session he organized Company H Second
Kansas Cavalry, of which he was First Lieutenant and commissioned
Captain. In 1865 he was appointed Quarter Master General of the State,
and in 1878 again elected to the State Legislature. Now at the age of
86 he is making Miami, Florida his home.
Henry D. Ballard also enlisted in 1861, in the Second Regiment of
Michigan Sharpshooters, serving in the ranks until badly wounded in
the shoulder, when he was transferred to hospital services. He died at
his home in Oshkosh, Wisconsin at the age of 78 years.
Eunice Ballard, who was possessed of an adventurous spirit and
missionary zeal, for some years taught at Government Indian Schools at
Sault St. Marie and Mt. Pleasant. At one time there was only one white
family within one hundred miles. She became the wife of Albert
Bowker of Mt. Pleasant and died at the age of 32 years.
Alonzo Ballard enlisted in 1861 at the age of seventeen in the
First Regiment of Michigan Sharpshooters. In that summer of '61 when
the drums were beating for the volunteers and squads of patriots were
daily testing their marksmanship, young Ballard hovered around
watching for a chance to show his skill with the rifle, and prove to
his father that he ought to join the sharpshooters.
Appleton Ballard already had three sons in the field and Alonzo
was a slender lad, too young he thought for army life, but Alonzo's
chance came and he stood the test of rifle practice: however, it was
only when his father was convinced by nightly watching that if he did
not give his consent the boy would run away and find his way into the
army, that he won the privilege he was seeking. At the Battle of
Gettysburg he received a severe bullet wound in his side but served in
hospital duties to the close of the war. He later adopted Kansas for
his home where he died at the age of 74.
Benjamin Everett Ballard, though too young to go into the army,
was a host of help to his father during those war years. He died at
the residence of his son Henry E. Ballard at Nampa, Idaho,
December 17, 1917, aged 71 years.
L. Anna Ballard, the next in order of age, is living in Lansing.
Sarah M. Ballard, the wife of W. E. West, is living on their
farm northwest of the city.
Alice Ballard, the youngest, after graduating from Lansing High
School took a select course in Boston University and married W. O.
Crosby, Professor of Geology in the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. Their home is at Jamaica Plains, Massachusetts.
One of my childhood memories is of the yearly visits of Chief Okemos,
who always came in time for dinner. We children looked forward to
these visits as one of the incidents of our lives. Once, I remember,
he had a young Indian lad with him, who was, no doubt, later the young
Chief Jim. This vicinity would appear to have been a favorite camping
ground of the Indians for long time past. As the southwest corner of
Page .7. 30-JAN-2016
our farm, what is now East and McKinley Street, was a considerable
hill, which the boys worked at for years to level down to the portion
where the house was built. In the process of grading they came upon an
Indian skeleton in a sitting posture. The skeleton was given to a
doctor. It is my impression it was Dr. S. D. Newbro, who practiced
in North Lansing about that time.
Dr. S. D. Newbro M. -
The building of the Ramshorn Railroad was an important event in the
life of our city. We had our share in it as its track was diagonally
across the farm. Great was the day when the first train went through,
and long to be remembered was the first train load of soldier boys
bound for southern camps in 1861. Our own hearts were burning with
excitement for out from our home three boys were bound on the same
mission. The fourth enlisted in Kansas.
Most of the old place is still in the Ballard name, the farm house
with its great hewn timbers still stands on its original foundations,
not for some past year cleared, and there too is the big black walnut
tree in front that brother Henry Ballard transplanted from the
woods before he went into the army. For a time between the years 1853
and 1861, eight boys and girls went from this home with dinner baskets
to school. Two of them to the Michigan Female College and six to the
Cedar Street School.
When I first went to school Mr. Taylor was the principal and Mrs.
Taylor taught the primary. This Mr. and Mrs. Taylor were teachers of
large influence in Lansing in the years from 1850 to 1860. They first
conducted a popular private school up town. While we lived up there
sister Sindenia attended that school. I have a vivid remembrance of
one day going to school with her. It is the first event I really
remember. Doubtless the reason it made such a lasting impression upon
my mind is because the occurrence struck terror to my young heart. At
close of school we started home in the rain when a cyclonic wind
struck me. I was clinging to her hand as hard as I could, she was
trying to keep the umbrella over us, but the umbrella was blown into
space, and we were tumbled into the corner of a rail fence somewhere
about the three hundred block on South Capitol Avenue and we were well
drenched before we were able to pick ourselves up and proceed those
few blocks home. No doubt my discomfiture over a ruined hat and dress
had no small part in my distress.
One of the enjoyable memories of our Cedar Street School years was the
spelling contests. When we were about fourteen years old I remember
standing with two boys after the rest of the school had dropped out of
the long line around the room. The two boys were Dwight Smith and
Charlie Wood. I wonder if they would enjoy a spelling contest
today. A little later, there were the famous mental arithmetic drills
under the prince of teachers, Martin V. Rork, in which we tried
hard to compete with Russell Ostrander, the late Judge
Ostrander.

The Michigan Female College, which was established in 1856 and
conducted by the Misses Abigail and Delila Rogers, was the
educational mecca for young people around Lansing. It was built in the
midst of a square of four blocks at the west end of Franklin Avenue
where is now the School for the Blind. Sister Sindenia was in the
first class that graduated. Miss Emma Haze, sister of Dr. R. A.
Haze, was also in that class. My brother Henry was a student
there, for although it was primarily a girls' school, a few boys were
admitted. I spent two years in the school, and after teaching a few
years, and later studying medicine and graduating at the Woman's
Medical College of Chicago, (now under the Northwestern University), I
filled the position of resident Physician in the Dr. Mary Thompson
Hospital for Women and Children for a year and returned to Lansing in
the spring of 1879 and entered the ranks of the physicians of the
city.
Dr. Mary Thompson F. -
Among my never fading memories is the courteous way I was received by
my brother physicians and the kindly help of those veterans of the
profession, Dr. H. P. Shank and Dr. J. W. Hagadorn. They have
passed on to their reward for their good deeds, not only for their
kindness to a pioneer woman physician, but also for their general
helpfulness to humanity.

CHAPTER: 004: The Name Ballard
****************************************************************
The following is copied from the information supplied to the Ballard
descendants by James Alonzo Ballard. It is not known who wrote it
or who he got it from.
----------------------------------------------------------------
B A L L A R D
The name Ballard appears in the list of names occurring in the Rotule
Hundredorum, or hundred rolls of the date 1273. King Edward the I on
his return from Palestine, after the death of his father, Henry III,
caused inquiries to be made into the state of the demeans, and of the
right and revenues of the crown, many of which during the previous
turbulent origin had been usurped both by the clergy and the laity.
Due inquisitions being made upon the oath of a jury of each hundred
through out the realm, this mass of documents is appropriately called
Rouli Hundredorum, or hundred rolls.
On page 17 of PATRONYMICA BRITTANICA is the following: "Ballard, an
ancient baptismal name, Ballard, H. R. (Hundred Rolls)".
In the ETYMOLOGICAL DICTIONARY OF FAMILY AND CHRISTIAN NAMES by
William Arthur, Printed in N.Y. 1860, Page 62, I find the following:
"Ballard, (Celtic and Gaelic) from BALL, a place round elevation; and
Page .9. 30-JAN-2016
ARD, high. The Gaelic word Ballard signifies noisy, boasting. BAL,
also signifies a lord, and ARD, high."
BURKES GENERAL ARMORY OF ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, IRELAND AND WALES mentions
Ballards of County Sussex, County Worcester, County Kent and County
Notts who are entitled to crests and coats of arms.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The following is from MASSACHUSETTS GENEALOGY, BOSTON AND EASTERN
MASSACHUSETTS.
----------------------------------------------------------------
BALLARD
This surname was in use as early as the twelfth century, from the very
beginning of the use of surnames in England. It is an ancient
baptismal name, and became a surname in the same way that most
personal or baptismal names became surnames at that time. The name of
Ballard is found in the Hundred Rolls. The Ballard family at Horton,
near Canterbury, and at Wadhurst, county Sussex, are of the same stock
and bear the same arms: Sable a griffin segreant ermine armed and
gorged with a crown or. Crest: A demi-griffin with wings endorsed
ermine beaked and legged or. The Ballards of Evesham, county
Worcester, have the same arms slightly varied: Sable a griffin
segreant ermine. Crest: A griffin's head erased ermine. This simple
device may be the oldest. The same arms are borne by the family at
Greenwich, Kent and Southwell, Nottinghamshire.

CHAPTER: 005: Document: William Ballard the Immigrant
****************************************************************
The following is a copy of one of the three pages given to the Ballard
descendants by James Alonzo Ballard in the 1960's. It is not known
if Alice Ballard Crosby sent it to him or if he received it second
hand. The following is the settlement of the estate of William
Ballard the Immigrant who came to America in 1634.

CHAPTER: 006: Daniel Ballard and the Poem, The Lost Boy
****************************************************************
Daniel Ballard b.14-DEC-1806 \OSJSFD M.1806-
Here follows the poem: The Lost Boy. This poem was furnished by
Loretta Ethel Geyer Ballard, an aunt of this writer, on
17-OCT-1995. Years before, this writer remembers another aunt, Dorothy
Mildred Ballard Ballew, telling about this boy who was lost when
the Ballard family was "coming across Vermont and New Hampshire". She
believed that the boy had survived and had fathered some of the other
families named Ballard.
This lost boy was an older brother to Appleton Ballard and was a
great great great uncle to the author.
Here is the entire document.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Lost Boy
The following lines refer to the eldest brother of Mrs. E. H.
Harrigan's mother, Mrs. Sallie Ballard Harrison (1818-1907). The
father Frederick Ballard had just moved with his family to a new
home near Wilmot, New Hampshire, when this sad event occurred. It is
said that there was a thousand people out hunting the lost child the
Sunday following his disappearance. It was more than three-quarters of
a century later that these lines came into Mrs. Harrigan's possession.
No one of her mother's family had known about them. A lady from New
Hampshire, who was visiting in Iowa, happened to have heard of them
and sent them to Mrs. Harrigan.
AN ELEGY
On the loss of a little boy in the woods, who was directed by his
father to run and stop a cow and was never afterwards heard of.
By Daniel Sanders, Grafton, N.H.
Page .11. 30-JAN-2016
Attend, attend, ye gentle muse,
Poetic strains I'll try to use,
For I'm about to relate
Poor Daniel Ballard's dismal fate.
It was in Wilmot, as you shall hear,
And in the state of New Hampshire,
This little Daniel he did dwell;
A doleful story I must tell.
He was just five years and ten months old
When he went off, the weather cold.
He was in a thin summer dress
To face the frowning wilderness.
October on the fourteenth day
This little child he went away,
Into the woods, and he was lost,
Which many a day of time it cost,
To search the woods and hunt around,
But nothing of him could be found,
Except some tracks where he did go,
Some people found--We have heard so.
One man did find, as he told me,
A place where he could plainly see
His little tracks and little nest
Where he had laid himself to rest.
But Oh! alas! no more was found,
Although they sought him all around,
O'er rocks and mountains, woods and trees,
Among the bushes and the leaves.
The brooks and ponds examined too,
No work was spared that man could do,
But all our efforts were in vain;
We lost our labor and our pain.
And now he lies, we know not where,
Perhaps he's eaten by a bear,
Perhaps he's in some watery grave,
Or in some dreary lonesome cave,
Or else perhaps a catamount,
Who of his prey gives me no account,
Has taken and devoured him,
And on his way has gone again.
Or in some hollow log or tree,
Or stretched out on the ground may be,
There all alone covered with leaves,
As they did fall from off the trees.
Oh how he wandered all alone,
To find relief: but could find none,
Till death was sent him to befriend,
And bring his sorrows to an end.
Page .12. 30-JAN-2016
Oh what an awful thing it be
(I think on Daniel painfully)
To think that innocent must lie
There all alone to live and die.
Oh how it makes my breast to bleed,
When I do think upon the need
That he was in, of food and clothes,
Which made him cry, we must suppose.
He cried for papa and relief,
Which makes my bosom swell with grief,
But there was no one to relieve
Which makes me now so sorely grieve.
But what is mine unto their grief,
Who met with this sore sad bereaf;
Their pain must be more to mine
As the sun doth the moon outshine.
Oh how they think upon the theme,
And how they mourn the awful scene;
And what their darling underwent
Before his precious life was spent.
With what keen hunger bite a twig
And with his little fingers dig
Some little roots, but all in vain,
To ease his hungry starving pain.
And how he drank the purling brook,
And with what earnest eyes he'd look,
Wishing his papa now would come,
Then how his little legs would run.
And how he shivered with the cold--
Such griefs as those can't half be told--
And how he sobbed and mourned and cried
And what a lonesome death he died.
And many other griefs could tell,
Wherein their pain doth mine excel,
Which is to them the mournful helve
Of the year eighteen hundred twelve.
But I must draw unto a close,
And strive my mind for to repose:
And I must end this mournful tale--
My grieving lips and pen do fail.

The following is quoted from PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL ALBUM of
WASHINGTON, CLAY AND RILEY COUNTIES, KANSAS which was published by
Chapman Bros. of Chicago in 1890. This is one of the so called
"vanity" biographies which were popular in the late 1800's. While the
language is flowery much valuable information is included.

Notice that the genealogical descent of David Ellenwood Ballard is
incorrect in the following article which was probably based upon
family tradition as David remembered it. It was William Ballard
the Immigrant who first came to America. The others were born here.

HON. DAVID E. BALLARD.
This gentleman has been designated as "one of the most hospitable,
social and liberal men of his community," being public-spirited,
strictly moral and of that courteous and gentlemanly demeanor which
makes everybody his friend. Mr. Ballard is perhaps one of the most
prominent men in Northern Kansas, intimately identified with its
agricultural interests, a thorough and skillful farmer, and in
business transactions his record is unimpeachable.
The subject of this sketch was born in Franklin, Vermont March 20,
1836, and is the son of Appleton and Epiphena (Ellenwood) Ballard.
Appleton Ballard was born in Hanover, New Hampshire, in 1809. When
he was a boy his parents removed to Vermont where he learned
shoemaking at which he worked in connection with farming until 1837.
Then, having decided to seek what was then the West, he emigrated to
Morrow County, Ohio, and locating in Sparta, engaged in general
merchandising until 1847. That year he left the Buckeye State and
removing to Michigan established himself as a general merchant at
Lansing, where he sojourned until 1852. He then met with a sad
misfortune, his store and stock being destroyed by fire, involving a
total loss.
After this event the father of our subject moved just out of town and
securing a little piece of land engaged as a vegetable gardener until
his death, which occurred in October 1885. He was a man of sound
religious principles and from the age of twenty years had been a
consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. His father was
Frederick Ballard, a native of Barnard, New Hampshire, and who
died in Sparta, Ohio. The paternal great grandfather of our subject
was Sherebiah Ballard, a gentleman of English birth and ancestry
who crossed the Atlantic with five brothers prior to the Revolutionary
War and settled in New York State. The entire six participated in the
conflict which afterward ensued, fighting valiantly on the side of the
Colonists until their independence was established.
Epiphena Ellenwood was born near Halifax, Nova Scotia, Sept. 9,
1809 and died in Lansing, Michigan, in the spring of 1888. She was
married to Appleton Ballard in 1830. Her father, Captain
Ellenwood was a seafaring man and the commander of a merchant
vessel. He stood at the head of his profession and was likewise a
successful man in business affairs. He was robbed and murdered in
Page .14. 30-JAN-2016
Halifax harbor after disposing of a cargo of merchandise. To the
parents of our subject there were born ten children: Allen J.
Ballard, Sindenia A. Ballard, David E. Ballard, Henry D.
Ballard, Eunice L. Ballard, Alonzo Ballard, Everette
Ballard, Anna L. Ballard, Sarah A. Ballard and Alice
Ballard. Of these eight are living.
David E. Ballard was the third child of the parental family and
was reared in his native town of Sparta, Ohio, acquiring his education
in the common schools. There also he took his first lesson in
mercantile business and was also thus engaged with his uncle at Mt.
Gilead, and later again with his father at Lansing, Michigan. He
remained a resident of Michigan State until 1855 and then determined
to seek the farther West. We next find him in Tama County, Iowa,
where he was occupied as a clerk in Toledo until 1857. Then crossing
the Missouri River into the Territory of Kansas he was located for a
time in Lawrence, Kansas, and in the meanwhile had a hand in the
troubles of that period, operating under James Lane. Subsequently
Mr. Ballard repaired to Brown County, Kansas, and for some
time followed the profession of a teacher. Later he was connected with
a surveying party, laying out town sites and engaged in other business
tending to the development and settlement of the State. In 1858 he
repaired to Washington, Kansas, and was made Secretary of the first
company organized to lay out the town. Subsequently he assisted in the
organization of Washington County and at the first election of
county officers was chosen Registrar of Deeds and County Clerk. Later
further honors were bestowed upon him as he was chosen by the Free
State party as their first Representative in the Legislature. He
served his full term with great credit to himself and satisfaction to
his constituents.
Mr. Ballard watched the progress of national affairs with the
liveliest interest and maintained his loyalty to the State of Kansas.
During the first year of the Civil War he entered the army as a
private, but soon afterward, by the urgency of friends and officials,
left the ranks and raising a large company joined the Second Kansas
Infantry as First Lieutenant of Company H. This regiment was soon
afterward transformed into the Second Kansas Cavalry, in which
Lieutenant Ballard served until 1865 when he was obliged to send
in his resignation on account of disability. In the meantime his
services received their just recognition by the presentation to him of
a Captain's commission, but he resigned before being mustered in.
During the period of his army life Mr. Ballard operated mostly in
Missouri and Arkansas. In May, 1865 he was appointed Quartermaster
General of the Kansas State Militia. In 1866 he was commissioned
Deputy United States Surveyor of public lands in Kansas. In 1867 he
was commissioned Deputy United States Marshall in his district and in
1868 was commissioned Assistant Assessor for Division Number 4, then
covering what is now the 5th Congressional District of Kansas. He was
still further honored in 1872 by being elected Assessor of railroad
property for the 12th Judicial District of Kansas. In 1878 he was
again elected to represent his county in the State Legislature. His
whole public career is one which reflects honor upon him and in which
it could not be questioned that he had the interests of the people at
heart.
Page .15. 30-JAN-2016
Mr. Ballard in 1869, turning his attention seriously to
agricultural affairs, purchased 160 acres of land on section 15,
Little Blue Township, and there took up his abode. He was prospered in
his subsequent transactions, financially, and added to his landed
possessions until he is now the owner of 1,800 acres, lying on
sections 9, 10, 15, 16, 21 and 22 of the above mentioned township.
When coming to this State he was obliged to borrow money to meet his
current expenses. He long ago liquidated that debt and has the
satisfaction of knowing that every dollar of his money has been made
in an honorable and legitimate manner. Besides that already mentioned,
he also owns valuable city property in Washington, this State. He is
one of the Directors of the First National Bank at that place and has
taken an interest generally in the upbuilding of the town.
As a stock dealer Mr. Ballard is scarcely equalled by any man in
Washington County and is particularly interested in blooded
animals. He is the largest resident landholder within the limits of
the county. His residence is located on section 15 Little Blue
Township, and presents quite an imposing appearance, surrounded as it
is by various other buildings, with cattle sheds in the back ground,
everything being neat and in good order, together with forest and
fruit trees and all the other embellishments of the ideal country
estate. Without making any great display or pretentions to elegance,
the great homestead is in all its appurtenances little less than
complete and resembles a village more than private grounds.
Socially, Mr. Ballard stands high in the Masonic fraternity,
having taken both the Chapter and Council degrees. He has been a
stanch Republican since the organization of that party in 1856. He has
by his hospitality and rare social qualities drawn around him hosts of
friends whom both he and his excellent wife entertain in a manner
worthy of their means and station. Mrs. Ballard was in her girlhood
Miss Louise Bowen, of Leavenworth, Kansas, and was wedded to our
subject Dec. 25, 1865. Her native place was Royalton, Vermont, and the
date of her birth 1844. Her parents were Mark Bowen (who died in
1859) and Sarah L. Harris Bowen, now living in Royalton, Vermont.
They were natives of Vermont.
The ten children born to Mr. and Mrs. Ballard were name
respectively, Ernest F. Ballard, Louise Ballard, Frank C.
Ballard, Mabel Ballard, Miriam Ballard, David C.
Ballard, Winifred Ballard, Mark A. B. Ballard, Anna A.
Ballard, Stella L. Ballard. Louise died when six days old.

The following is quoted from THE UNITED STATES BIOGRAPHICAL
DICTIONARY, KANSAS VOLUME, published by S. Lewis and Company
Publishers, 1879.
Just as in the previous account the ancestral genealogy in incorrect.
The Ballard ancestry going back to William Ballard the Immigrant
(1617-1689) who came from England in 1634 is widely accepted by
genealogists.

HON. DAVID ELLENWOOD BALLARD
Ballard's Falls
David E. Ballard was born in Franklin County, Vermont, March
20, 1837. He is of English descent on both sides, his paternal great
great grandfather emigrating from England over twenty years before the
breaking out of the Revolutionary War, and five of his sons, the great
grandfather and great granduncles of the subject of this article -
Sherebiah, Joel, Israel, John and Daniel participated in the
Revolution. His father, Appleton Ballard, was a thrifty Vermont
farmer, who when the little Vermont farm became too small for his
increasing family, immigrated to Morrow County, Ohio, where David
E. was brought up in the mercantile business in his father's store,
receiving a good business education in the common schools. His mother,
whose maiden name was Epiphena Ellenwood, was born in Halifax,
Nova Scotia and her father, Captain Ellenwood, a sea-faring man
and commandant of a merchant vessel, a thorough business man, was
murdered and robbed in Halifax Harbor, after having disposed of his
cargo. The parents are living at Lansing, Michigan, and are members of
the Methodist Church.
In May 1857, at the age of twenty years, David immigrated to Kansas,
locating in Brown County, taking a claim and teaching school, and
lived there until the ensuing spring, when he moved to Washington
County, where there was land for the settler, and laid out Washington,
the county seat of that county. In 1860 he assisted in the
organization of the county, and was the first county clerk. In 1859 he
was elected to the first State Legislature, and was among the most
active supporters of General James H. Lane for the United States
Senate. Having taken an active part in the free-state struggle, he has
always been an active, influential Republican.
In November, 1861, he recruited about forty men for the 2nd Kansas
Volunteers, and entered that regiment as a private soldier, in 1862
was made first lieutenant, and afterward commissioned captain of the
company, serving until February, 1865, when he honorably mustered out,
to accept the appointment of quartermaster-general under Governor
Crawford, serving in that capacity for two years. In 1867 he was
appointed one of the commissioners to audit the Price raid claims, and
in August of that same year removed to Manhattan and accepted the
position of assistant United States assessor, an office which he held
until the spring of 1869, when he resigned and removed to his farm at
Ballard's Falls, Washington County, where he has since resided,
pursuing the occupation of a farmer. While in the army he was in all
the engagements of his regiment, among which were the battles of Fort
Wayne, Cane Hill, Fort Smith and Prairie Grove.
He is a Royal Arch Mason, belonging to Lebanon Chapter No. 28, at
Page .17. 30-JAN-2016
Waterville; is a member of the Patrons of Husbandry, and was a
delegate to the convention of the State Grange, at Lawrence, in
December, 1878. Although not a member of any church, he is a believer
in the principles of the Christian religion, and has contributed
liberally to all religious enterprises.
He was married in Leavenworth, Kansas, December 25, 1865, to Miss
Louise Bowen, a lady of culture, remarkable for her artistic
taste, many of her paintings not only adorning her own Kansas home,
but that of her parents in Vermont. They have six children Ernest
Frederick, Frank Crosby, Mabel, Miriam, Chauncy Case and Winifred.
Mr. Ballard has been among the most active advocates and
benefactors of all public enterprises, director in the Waterville &
Washington and in the Joseph & Denver Railroads. He has been an active
public man, a delegate to every Republican state convention for the
last ten years. He was a delegate to the Republican state convention
in 1864 and introduced and advocated the resolution which admitted the
military delegates to the convention whereby Samuel A. Crawford
was nominated for governor. He is a member of the present State
Legislature, elected in 1878.

CHAPTER: 008: Captain Benjamin Ellenwood, Remembered
****************************************************************
----------------------------------------------------------------
James Alonzo Ballard told the following story about Captain
Benjamin Ellenwood who was the father of Epiphene Ellenwood
Ballard, the wife of Appleton Ballard. Captain Benjamin
Ellenwood was a great great grandfather to James Alonzo
Ballard.
Captain Benjamin Ellenwood was a sea captain on the St. Lawrence
Seaway. He was murdered by one of his sailors with a marlin spike. A
marlin spike is a tool made of steel which has a sharp point on one
end and is shaped like a punch. The other end is about the size of the
handle on a screwdriver and is used as the handle. A marlin spike is
used by sailors to untie knots.

CHAPTER: 009: David Ellenwood Ballard, Remembered
****************************************************************
----------------------------------------------------------------
James Alonzo Ballard told about his great uncle, David Ellenwood
Ballard, who with three of his brothers served in the Union Army
during the Civil War. James said that the Civil War ruined the health
of all four of them. One died during that time of heart trouble. Uncle
Dave, as James called him, had his body mechanism damaged which
controlled his body temperature. Uncle Dave had to wear newspapers
under his clothes to stay warm. From the way James talked about his
Uncle Dave it is certain that he knew him.
We know from the family history by L. Anna Ballard, M.D. that
David Ellenwood Ballard moved to Miami, Florida in his later
Page .18. 30-JAN-2016
years.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ann Eldora Musgrove Ballard remembered David Ellenwood Ballard
very well and often told about him. Dave was apparently quite a rascal
though his wife was very proper and particular. Once he even spilled a
coffee pot on the dining room table deliberately.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Suzanne Ballard Sell has a calling card indicating that David
Ellenwood Ballard was in business with a man named R. B.
Spilman in Manhattan, Kansas. They were "Real Estate, Tax and
Insurance Agents".

****************************************************************
CHAPTER: 010: Dr. Anna Ballard, Pioneer Woman Physician, Remembered
****************************************************************
----------------------------------------------------------------
The family history by Dr. L. Anna Ballard does not begin to do her
justice. She not only was a pioneer woman physician but she also was a
pioneer in supporting the rights of women and children, especially
women and children who had been abused. She single-handedly got the
state of Michigan to pass legislation giving more protection to abused
women and children. She testified at trials, in an unprecedented
manner, regarding injuries to women and children through abuse. We are
talking about very graphic matters here that would have caused other
women to blanche and decline. In an age where much was swept under the
carpet she stood up and was willing to tell it like it was with all of
the medical terminology and brutal frankness that needed to be told.

Alonzo Ballard went by "Lon".
----------------------------------------------------------------
Alonzo Ballard had quite a life. Here is a brief summary.
He joined Company C of the First Regiment of the United States
Sharpshooters in the Union Army in the Civil War at age seventeen.
He received a severe bullet wound in his side at the Battle of
Gettysburg on 02-JUL-1863. The First United States Sharpshooters
played an important role in stopping the massive Confederate advance
against the Union left on that one fateful afternoon which marked the
turning point of the Civil War away from the earlier Confederate
dominance.
He married and fathered his son, Frederick Eugene Ballard, and
then his wife, Belinda Carmichael just a few years later.
He prospected for gold at Cripple Creek, Colorado during the gold rush
there. His sisters and parents helped raise his son.
Page .19. 30-JAN-2016
He married Carrie Louise Dikeman and had a daughter, Martha Louise
Ballard.
He ran a general store in Barnes, Washington Co, Kansas.
His second wife died tragically following an accident in which a
lantern was overturned while she was going down the stairs to the
celler. Her skirt caught on file.

Suzanne Ballard Sell has a small metal button on which is an eagle
with outstretched wings. That button was from Alonzo Ballard's
Union Army uniform from when he served during the Civil War.

The following letter has been broken into paragraphs for easier
reading. The original was one long paragraph.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Weehawkin Sep 1
1861
Dear Father, Mother and all the rest of the Family.
We started from Detroit Monday afternoon at 6 o'clock. Rode on the
cars to Toledo which place we reached about midnight and went on board
a propeller where we spent the rest of the night. In the morning the
ship started for Dunkirk. We reached Dunkirk Wednesday morning at 9
o'clock. We took the NY & Ere cars at half past three and reached
Jersey City Thursday morning and took the ferry boat over to NY.
We marched through the City and took another boat to Weehawkin which
is situated on the Western bank of the North River.
Our camp ground is about 100 Rods from the river in a fine park which
is about 150 feet above the river. This is the nicest place I ever
saw. I have enjoyed myself much better than I expected. I have seen
more of the world since I started from home than I ever saw before.
Colonel Berdan came over to our camp Friday and told us we could have
our uniforms right away. I guess we will get them tomorrow for were
several boxes of uniforms came here last night. Mr. ?? says we had
better take Sharps rifles. If we do we shall make something. I don't
think we shall leave here very soon. I should just as like hear from
home before long as not for I haven't received a letter yet. Mr.
Bailer and A. C. Winters were here the other day. When we get our
uniforms us Lansing boys will send our things home. I will write again
in a week or so.
Yours respectfully,
Alonzo

Brother Everett
We received yours and Father's letter some time ago but have neglected
to answer it. So I will try it now. Henry has been having a fever
again. Since I wrote before he was pretty sick a few days but is
getting around again. He won't go on duty for some time and when he
does it will make him sick again. I am well at present though I had
one Shake of the Ague the other day.
The doctor put a blister plaster on my side and drew me around all
right again except the blister is sore yet. We are still waiting for
our rifles though there is not much propect of our getting them very
soon. Everett, is there a young fellow that goes to your school by the
name of Blakeslee? I am well acquainted with a young fellow in this
Co. that says his brother, Charles Blakeslee, goes to your school. We
had a letter from Cousin David yesterday. He wrote to Allen some time
ago and has not got an answer yet. He also had a letter from David
Ballard lately.
There is not much news to write today. I received a letter from ??
Thompson day before yesterday. I haven't time to answer it today. From
your brother.

Near Fort Ellsworth
Aug 23rd/62
Dear Father,
The 17th about 650 of us Hospital fellows got aboard the Steamer
United States for Washington. We first sailed to New York where 150 of
the Penns got aboard another boat for Philadelphia and we took the ??
for Washington. We arrived at Washington the evening of the 20th and
stayed on the boat until about the middle of the next day. Then we got
on board another boat and came to Alexandria where we landed and
marched to our present camp ground near Ft. Ellsworth.
I am getting strength faster than I have for some time. I took up my
quarters on the hurricane deck while I was on the boat. I have been
through Alexandria since I came here. I haven't been over to see Henry
yet and don't know as I can get a pass. I wrote Henry yesterday.
McClellen's army is landing at Alexandria and taking the cars for
Manassas as fast as possible. If my Regt comes this way I shall join
them
Page .21. 30-JAN-2016
Earney's Division was on a drunk in Alexandria last night. One or two
of them got killed and a good many badly bruised. I shall not be able
to get any letters while I am here for we have no Post Office but I
would advise Eunice to keep out of the army.
From your son,

Camp Near Brandy Sta.
Apr. 8th/63
Dear Brother
I am getting anxious to hear from home again for I answered the last
one I received about two weeks ago. Since that time I have been on
picket and we have moved camp about two miles. We are camped about a
mile from Brandy Sta. We have gone into an old camp that has been
occupied all winter by the third division of the third corps. Our
shanties were built by the Rebs before we drove them from here. The
house I occupy is built of logs and covered with shakes. It is 10 X 16
and there are six of us living in it. The Rebs are not very good
mechanics for their streets are crooked and their camps irregular.
It has been a long time since I received a letter from Henry. I have
not seen Allen since I wrote last. He is on guard at Division Hospital
yet. I had a letter from Charley Mead a few days ago. He is getting
along well.
We haven't had three days of pleasant weather for over two weeks. It
rains the most of the time and is so muddy we can't hardly get around.
We haven't seen Gen. Grant yet. He has reviewed apart of the army.
I want you to answer this letter as soon as you can for I am waiting
anxiously for news from home and I am afraid my letter to Mrs. Sarah
A. Ballard was lost. Tell me all about your evening visits with the
young ladies for you know I don't know much about sparking and it will
interest me. I don't blame you for enjoying yourself for I expect it's
dubious business staying at home but it's your duty to do so and the
army is no pleasant place either.
I was on police to day and went a mile in the rain to cut wood for
Officers. It is about the same way about a good many other things but
you will think I am a hard case to get along well with. Such is life
if I tell you the whole truth, so goodnight.
Yours truly
Alonzo Ballard

Camp Near Sulpher Spring
Aug 9th 1863
Page .22. 30-JAN-2016
Dear Sister,
I received your letter of the 2nd today. I am as well as ever, have
not heard from Allen yet. A few days ago I got four letters of
Allen's. One was from you, one from Father, and two from Miss Pierce.
I read yours and Father's and sent the others to Sarah.
We came off of Pickett this morning. The weather is very warm. We have
fixed our camp up in good style and have set out pine trees for shade.
Things look as though we might stay here for some time.
We have commenced to draw soft bread and other camp rations again.
While on the march we drew nothing but pork, hardbread, coffee and
sugar.
I was in hopes Henry would get his furlough extended or else a
discharge for they may want him to go into the Invalid Corps. I guess
I had better stop trying to write this warm day with a piece of lead
pencil 1 and 1/2 inches long. I am in hopes we will be paid again soon
and then the Sutlers will come around with every thing necessary to
keep house with. I am getting anxious about Allen. I wish you would
let me know how and where he is as soon as you can after you hear from
him. It's so warm I can't write any more at present.
Yours, Alonzo
----------------------------------------------------------------
Camp Near Culpepper
Sept 24th/63
Dear Sister
I got the receipt for my Express package to day and thought you might
have some trouble a getting the money with out it if father has gone
West. So I will send it in the morning. I don't know yet when we will
march. The news is rather unfavorable from Rosencrans. As I have no
news to write I will close this letter from your Own dear Brother.

CHAPTER: 013: Frederick Eugene Ballard, Remembered
Updated 2007/03/10
****************************************************************
----------------------------------------------------------------
James Alonzo Ballard told about when his father, Frederick Eugene
Ballard, was in the Cherokee Strip Run on 15-SEP-1893. Frederick
Eugene Ballard and one of his first cousins were both in that run.
The father of the first cousin was David Ellenwood Ballard who
raised blooded horses. This Uncle Dave furnished the horses for the
two first cousins to use during that most famous of horse races.
In a letter to Suzanne Ballard Sell dated 10-MAR-1985 Dorothy
Ballard Ballew tells that her father was close to three of the
sons of his uncle, Dave, who were Frank, Ernest and Everett. The three
Page .23. 30-JAN-2016
of them with her father, Frederick Eugene Ballard, were in the
Cherokee Stip Run in 1893. All four of the boys were on fast horses
furnished by Uncle Dave. They all got farms about ten miles west of
Perry, Noble Co, Oklahoma.
----------------------------------------------------------------
James Alonzo Ballard told this story about his father Frederick
Eugene Ballard. Frederick Eugene Ballard wore a truss because
of an injury he received when a young man. He was breaking horses for
his wife's father, James Thomas Musgrove, when one of them threw
him in such a way that he was severely injured.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Dorothy Mildred Ballard Ballew told this about her father,
Frederick Eugene Ballard.
Appleton And Epiphene Ballard were my Great Grandparents. L. Anna
Ballard was a Great Aunt. One of the three children raised by my
Great Grandparents was my Father, Frederick Eugene Ballard, until
he was sixteen or seventeen years of age. Then he went to Kansas and
lived in the home of David Ellenwood Ballard who had a large
family and several boys who were like brothers to Eugene. Alonzo was
my Grandfather. He lived in Kansas and ran a general store.
We need to add that Appleton and Epiphene raised three of their
grandchildren. Also, Eugene refers to Frederick Eugene Ballard who
went by Gene Ballard. L. Anna Ballard refers to Dr. Anna Ballard
who was the noted physician and advocate for the rights of women and
children in Lansing, Michigan.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Frederick Eugene Ballard really liked to eat onions cooked whole
over a campfire.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Suzanne Ballard Sell furnishes this information about her
grandfather, Frederick Eugene Ballard. When he bought a hat he
would roll the brim completely up on one side, usually his right side!
There is even a picture of him with a hat on rolled up in that way.
His head looks lop-sided with his hat that way. His wife, Dora, would
say that he ruined all of his hats by doing that to them.
----------------------------------------------------------------
One winter there was a Christmas program to be held one evening at the
school. The weather was so cold and probably snow was on the ground so
that Frederick Eugene Ballard would not let the five Ballard
children go to the Christmas program. At the party or program a candle
on the Christmas tree turned over and started a fire. The doors to the
school house only opened inwardly. The push to get out was tremendous
but the doors did not open outwardly. The fire was a terrible tragedy.
A number of children were lost. After this the Oklahoma legislature
passed a law that the doors on school houses had to open outwardly.
The Ballard children were not there and were safe.
----------------------------------------------------------------
From several sources comes the story of the passing of Frederick
Eugene Ballard. He was always called Gene. There was a church
picnic at the First Presbyterian Church in Walters, Cotton Co,
Oklahoma. The whole Ballard family took a galvanized bucket of fried
chicken and went to the picnic. They all ate some of the fried
chicken. When they got back home Gene ate some more of it from the
galvanized bucket. He came down with food poisoning and lingered on
Page .24. 30-JAN-2016
for about a week before dying.
A later source for this story comes from Oma Goldie Stapp who was

Perry, O.T.
Oct. 22, 1893
Dear Father
I received your letter the other day. Am glad to hear that you are
getting along all right. Earny just finished his well got plenty of
water at 33 ft. The water is at the bottom of 13 ft of gravel. Frank
and I have started a well on the line between us and we think we will
have to go about the same depth. Uncle Dave is just stiring up some
bread. I am going over to Perry tomorrow and try and buy some horses.
We just got a twenty inch disk harrow with seed attachment.
Please leave the F out of my name as I do not use the F down here. We
moved our tent today to save cleaning house. We had the hardware man
out from Perry today to set up the harrow and take dinner. He fetched
his wife. As it is bed time I will close.
Yours truly
Eugene Ballard
I received the paper and thanks.

Dear Father,
We have been having some very nice weather. We finished up our well
the other day. Just as good a well as anyone's, it is about a rod from
my door. I had quite a siege of contesting, it cost me considerable
but if I get the place all right it will be worth a good deal more
than it cost and I have no doubt but what I will for I was surely the
first one on it.
Please pay that money you have of mine to Uncle Dave as he let met
have more than that yet. And tell him what you can do about it as I
Page .25. 30-JAN-2016
expect I will have to have more help. Contesting is not a very nice
business, but I know I am right. I am a going to make some one else
squirm if they get/steal a claim from me.
The other fellow had two lawyers, but I had the best lawyer in the
strip, and it cost the other fellow about the same as it did me.
When Frank comes down you can send all of the pie plants,
strawberries, horseradish, asparagus or any else you amend to.
After Imhoff gets away I will be alone with my dog, but I can stand it
all right. I was sorry to hear that you lost your pension, but all
that I can say is to keep plugging ahead and we will get on top some
day, but don't worry just laugh at defeat.
It is raining now. Our wheat looks prety good. Remember Oklahoma took
the first prize at the Worlds Fair for making flour and we are in the
heart of it. I was over to Perry yesterday.
Yours truly,
Eugene Ballard

CHAPTER: 015: The First Presbyterian Church, Walters, Oklahoma
****************************************************************
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ann Eldora Musgrove Ballard who went by the name Dora Ballard
often told the following story regarding which church the Ballard
family attended after they moved from Barnes, Kansas to Walters,
Oklahoma Territory in 1902. She was the wife of Frederick Eugene
Ballard.
Her family, the Musgroves, had long been Methodists as had the Ballard
family when she married into it. The Ballard family attended the
Methodist Church in Walters when they first moved there. However, they
soon switched over to the Presbyterian Church in Walters because of
the following event.
In those days it was common to invite the church minister over to
dinner after church. Persons who live in the country in the southwest
call lunch dinner and supper supper. Anyway after dinner it was
customary for all the men to gather in the parlor to smoke. The
Methodist minister, heaven forbid, would smoke with the other men! The
Ballard family switched to the Presbyterian Church in Walters because
the Presbyterian minister did not smoke.
This story used to bewilder some of the Ballard descendants greatly
because of the following questions. First, why did the Methodist
minister smoke? Second, why did the Ballard family expect him not to
smoke? Third, why did the Presbyterian minister not smoke?
The answer to these questions is that the Ballard family had been
members of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Kansas which was the
Northern Methodist Church whose ministers were not permitted to smoke.
Page .26. 30-JAN-2016
The Methodist Church in Walters was a Methodist Episcopal Church,
South which was the Southern Methodist Church which, of course, did
permit its ministers to smoke because tobacco was a Southern product.
The Presbyterian Church was a Northern Presbyterian Church whose
ministers were not permitted to smoke.

In a letter to Suzanne Ballard Sell on 21-MAR-1974 Nina May
Musgrove Grimes wrote the following about the First Presbyterian
Church in Walters, Cotton Co, Oklahoma.
Your Great Grandfather Musgrove (James Thomas Musgrove) and your
Grandfather Ballard (Frederick Eugene Ballard) and your Uncle
Allie (Alfred Edward Musgrove) and Uncle Earnest (John Earnest
Musgrove) helped build it. When they finished building it they
wanted to dedicate it free of debt. So Gene (Frederick Eugene
Ballard) and papa (James Thomas Musgrove) borrowed $100 each
and helped clear it. It was a dry hard year but they were real
Christians and God always took care of them even though they were
pioneers.

The family pronounced the name La Pierre as "la" followed by "peer"
with the letter "a" being short and the accent on the "peer".
La Pierre's mother ran across that name in a book and liked it.
It is very likely that the book was "The Three Musketeers" by
Alexandre Dumas. This book has been in print since 1843 and is in
virtually all libraries. In the book the name La Pierre refers to a
bridge that had an inn on it that Cardinal Richelieu stayed at.
