John Benjamin Ballard
Aug 15, 1853
Feb 16, 1891

"Gone But Not Forgotten"

Additional Comments:
This is the oldest grave in James Chapel Cemetery.  

They were originally going to bury him in Springfield Cemetery, but Blood 
River was in flood at the time.  So they buried him at a place called Hickory 
Hill.  Which is now the present site of James Chapel United Methodist Church 
and Cemetery.
