Chapel cemetery. Rev. Murr of Paoli conducted the services, with Rev. F.L. Hacker, pastor of the West Baden Baptist
church assisting. Mr. Ballard died suddenly at his home Friday (Jan 3, 1930) after a very short illness, Death was caused
by uremia. His death was shock to his many friends throughout the county and state. Mr Ballard had extensive interests
in French Lick and West Baden and his passing will be mourned alike by his associates and friends. Mr. Ballard attended
the French Lick public schools, and at an early age embarked upon a business career. By his ambition and zeal for his
various enterprises he had risen to a position of wealth. In addition to owning the Gorge Inn and Elite Cafe in French
Lick, he was interested in the Grand Hotel at Mackinaw island, Mich., where he and his family spent the summer months.
Mr. Ballard was the son of James and Mary Elizabeth Ballard, one of a family of nine children. He is survived by three
brothers, Charles Edward of West Baden, John of Asheville, N.C., and George of French Lick; one sister, Mrs. Rilla
Ballard Ragsdale of California. Four brothers, William, Scotty, James Logan and Andrew have preceded him in death,

Ballard. His widow, Olive Ellis Ballard, and one daughter, Betty Lou, also survives to mourn his passing. One son,
Joseph Leslie, Jr. has preceded him in death. Gus Edwards, famous stage star and intimate friend of Mr. Ballard sang at

at his home in West Baden, Indiana Friday, January 3, 1930, at the age of 46 years, 9 months and 1 day. Seemingly in
the prime of his manhood the dreaded ailment of uremia made it appearance twenty-four hours before the final call, and
without warning the Hand of Death has touched this home. Joseph Leslie Ballard was one of the family of nine children
born to James and Mary Elizabeth Ballard. He is survived by his brothers, John Ballard of Asheville, North Carolina
(who is here today), Charles Edward Ballard (at present in Europe), George Ballard of French Lick and his sister Rilla
Ballard Ragsdale of California. Four brothers preceded him in death, William and Scott in childhood ages, James Logan
Ballard and Andrew Ballard in manhood estates. Tis only three weeks since the last rites were given the remains of the
brother Andrew Ballard from the same home. Joseph Ballard attended schools in French Lick, but at an early age
entered a business career. A born leader of men, he has been the type of man whose opinions have had great weight in
the many matters in which he has been interested, and his influence sought for many causes. His zeal and ambition for his
various enterprises were remarked upon by his friends and associates in business life. On November 2, 1914 he was
united in marriage to Miss Olive Ellis, whose devotion to him and their children has been an inspiration to those that knew
them best. A child, Joseph Leslie Jr. came June 24, 1916 to brighten their home for a few short months, but God's call
came to him December 16th, 1917. A daughter, Betty Lou, blessed them September 27, 1918 and the happiest
moments of the life that passed, have been spent in the efforts to make his child happy, and the memories of the devoted
wife and daughter will ever hold the kindness and love given them by their dear one whose voice is now stilled."   He was
