   LINZY BALLU, retired, son of Linzy and Agnes (Repley) Ballu, was born in
Wayne County, Ky., July 7, 1805; his parents located in Kentucky in an early
day. Thence they removed to Tennessee, where his father died; his mother died in

State, and in 1827 came to Indiana, and first settled on forty acres of land in
Monroe County; he cultivated this farm about ten years, when he sold and settled
on forty acres in Madison County. When he had improved this, he disposed of it
and purchased 160 acres in Taylor Township, Howard County; he subsequently
located at Nevada, Tipton County, where he purchased town property; here he
remained until 1878, when he came to Sharpsville, where he is living a retired
life with his daughter, Mrs. Mary G. Wisner. Mr. Ballu was married in Wayne
County, Ky., August 26, 1824, to Miss Nancy Sims, of North Carolina, daughter of
William and Rachel (Hose) Sims. Mrs. Ballu died in Tipton County, Ind., August
5, 1876, leaving three children-Mary G., Allen P. and Rachel. Mr. Ballu was
elected Justice of the Peace in 1863, and served twenty years; he has held the
position of Deputy Postmaster and railroad agent at Nevada; he is a member of
the Methodist Church, and a Republican in politics.
