Brother Ballard spent many years preaching the gospel, and he was the means of the establishment of the cause of Christ in many parts of North Alabama. The esteem in which he was held in his own community was evidenced by the very large crowd that attended the funeral and by the many expressions of praise which were voluntarily made by the people of Leesburg. Funeral services were conducted In the Methodist Church at Leesburg the writer, assisted by a Mr. Palmer, a Baptist minister, who has for a number of years been an intimate friend of the Ballard family. The remains were laid to rest in the Leesburg cemetery. --Aruna Clark, Gospel Advocate, Oct. 25, 1917, 1042.
