JOHN A. BALLARD, M. D., was born in Fryeburg, Oxford Co., Me., Feb. 11, 1842, 
residing there and receiving an academic education previous to his entering 
the war in 1863. Enlisted in Co. E, of the 3d Maine, and served in all of the 
battles of the Army of the Potomac, from the battle of the Wilderness to the 
battles around Petersburg, and was at Appomattox at the surrender of Gen. Lee. 
After the war, he spent a winter in Massachusetts; then he came to River

taken up with his brother, a practicing physician of that place. In September, 
1866, he entered the Chicago Medical School, from which he graduated in March, 
1868. Immediately following his graduation he was for six months house 
physican and surgeon in Mercy Hospital, Chicago, after which he spent two 
years in Chicago, following the practice of medicine, and also being the 
Superintendent of the Inebriate Asylum, after which he removed to La Crosse,

medicine. Mr. Ballard was married in Chicago, Nov. 19, 1868, to Miss Henrietta
