Note

Mrs. W. C. Ballard

Mrs. W. C. Ballard, wife of Judge Ballard deceased, and one among the oldest residents of Dickens county, died at her home in Dickens during the night Sunday night, January 21, her remains being interred Monday in the Dickens cemetery.

Grandma Ballard lived here in the very early days of the settlement of the country and before the organization of Dickens county in 1891. Her deceased husband, Judge Ballard, was active in the organization of the county, served as County Judge and possibly held other official positions later, and was among those who dramatically "purloined" the county official records and removed them from the county site at Espuela to Dickens following the historical county site fights in the early days. Grandma Ballard was among those good pioneer women who made sacrifices in the opening of a new country to settlement and in paving the way for present day development and civilization. To these women, as well as men we owe much, and our debt of gratitude can never be repaid nor fully appreciated.

Grandma Ballard leaves a daughter, Mrs. Willie Scott, with whom she lived, and several step children, as well as friends and acquaintances throughout the country, who mourn and regret her passing on to an unknown but spiritually greater and wider field of activity, service and enjoyment.
