Mrs. Anna Ballard, age 77 years, the widow of D. J. Ballard, of St. Paul died yesterday afternoon at 3:15 o'clock of pneumonia. Mrs. Ballard was in failing health for the past year.

She was the daughter of Joseph R. and Catherine French and was born in Middletown, Indiana on February 15, 1846.

Mrs. Ballard resided in St. Paul her entire life. On September 18, 1867 she was married to Dr. D. J. Ballard, a prominent doctor and Civil War veteran.

To this union were born three sons, one of whom survives her, Harry W. Ballard, of Detroit, who was present at the time of her death. Two sisters, a brother and a grandson also survive Mrs. Ballard. They are: Mrs. E. Derbyshire, of Kissimmee, Florida; Mrs. Elizabeth Plymate, of Acton, Indiana; William French, of Eldorado, Oklahoma, and the grandson, Jack Ballard, of Detroit.

Dr. Ballard preceded his wife in death four years ago, having died on January 9, 1920. Both he and Mrs. Ballard were of the sturdy worthwhile character found in the early pioneers of Indiana.

Mrs. Ballard at the age of fourteen years joined the Methodist church in St. Paul, and furnished an excellent example of good Christian motherhood. Her long residence in the community and her usefulness and kindness makes her loss the more keen to her neighbors and friends.

The funeral will be held from the late residence in St. Paul on Monday morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. Watkins, pastor of the Methodist church at St. Paul will officiate.

Interment will take place in Paul Hill cemetery, in charge of C. F. Fix & Son, funeral directors.
