Death of Claud Ballard
Claud Ballard passed away last Friday after a lingering illness of several months. Claud was raised in Coulterville and was a favorite with everyone. Genial and wholesouled he had endured himself in the hearts of the people and when the final summons came, while it was expected, the whole town mourned his death. He was a young man just arrived at mature manhood, being 26 years of age. Life was at its brightest "with eager winds kissing every sail," but in a moment there came a wreck and life's journey was over. Perhaps while yet we mourn a shout in ringing through the portals of the skies that welcome him welcome him to a world where his tent will be forever pitched in the valley of rest. His sorrowing mother and relatives were with him. They have asked us to thank the many friends for them who assisted in his last illness and are gracious for every kindness shown him. He was buried in the Coulterville cemetery, Saturday, July 28th.
