AARON BALLARD
Aaron Ballard was born in North Carolina, January 12, 1796. When about the age of 17, he went into the army and served one year, and was then honorably discharged from the service, and after which he came home and married. His companion was soon taken away by death. He then moved to Virginia and was again married. He left Virginia and came to Indiana in 1832 and purchased a farm about four miles West of New Castle where he resided continuously until his death, a period of 45 years. He was a kind and tender husband, a very affectionate father and though we miss him very much we cannot wish him back to a world with so much sin and strife. He was a firm believer in the eternal, unconditional election of the people of God and believed Him to be an all wise disposer of events; an Independent, self-existent God, one who holds the eternal destiny of his creatures in his own hand. Working all things after the counsel of his own mind, he was opposed to theological institutions, temperance, mission, Bible, and tract societies, and Sabbath-schools, believing them to be inventions of men, and opposed to the teachings of the Bible. He belonged to what was called Lick Branch Old School Baptists. He was ready to go and his end was peaceful, and we feel the happy assurance that he is with his dear Saviour in the world of eternal blessedness.
