Judge Edward Ballenger, for many years well known in this place, died at the
home of his son in New Troy, Saturday, aged 86 years.  Mr. Ballenger in 1832
came to Berrien county and purchased property in Berrien Springs, and returned
to Indiana.  He returned next year and opened a store in that place, afterward
having Thomas Love, late of Chickaming, for partner in the mercantile business.
 In 1843, he was elected Justice of Peace and filled the same office for several
terms after that date.  He at one time owned the string of bluffs just south of
the Michigan Central railroad, selling the lot for $15.   After that he lived in
Dowagiac, California and other places, and was back to Buchanan in 1866.  He
remained here steadily after that until about a year ago, when was separated
from his second wife by his children taking him to care for and leaving her to
care for herself.  She is now in California with her brothers.  The funeral
services were held at the place of his death, on Monday afternoon.
