WILLIAM J. BALLARD

William J. Ballard, 60 (photo), who since October of 1953 had received more than 100 blood transfusions, died early Thursday afternoon at Holy Family Hospital, Manitowoc, after a lingering illness. He resided at 817 S. 20th
St., Manitowoc.
Funeral services will be at 8:30 a.m. Saturday at the Pfeffer Funeral Home, Manitowoc, and at 9 a.m. at St. Paul Catholic Church. The Rev. Clement Kern will officiate and burial will be in Calvary Cemetery.

Mr. Ballard was born in New Orleans, La., on March ?, 1895, and came to Manitowoc in 1917, where on Feb. 1, 1921, he married Evelyn Aumann. She died in October of 1954. For the past 23 years Mr. Ballard was employed at the Rahr Malting Co. During World War I he served with the Naval Reserve, being stationed at New Orleans. He was a member of the Holy Name Society of the parish, Knights of Columbus, Drews-Bleser American Legion Post, Machinists Local 516 and Engineers Local 504.

In March of this year Mr. Ballard was interviewed by a Herald-Times reporter who wrote in his story that each month Mr. Ballard received a complete new blood supply. Twelve pints were required every two weeks to arrest what Mr. Ballard described as a spleen condition.

Surviving him are a daughter, Miss Margaret Ballard at home; a brother, Irwin, and two sisters, Mrs. R.A. Duffard and Miss Berneice Ballard, of New Orleans.

Friends may call at the funeral home where at 6:30 o'clock this Friday evening members of Machinists Local 516 will meet in a body and where at 7 o'clock the Rosary will be recited by the Knights of Columbus and the Daughters of Isabella.
