Departed--Eva Ballard

With sadness of heart and tear filled eyes I write this notice of the death of my beloved wife, Eva, on October 22, 1966. However, I write with a deep consolation and a peace that passeth understanding, because Eva was a faithful Christian. Eva was stricken with cancer in August of 1964. An operation at that time seemed to be successful and for over a year we had hopes of a complete recovery. However, last March, the doctor told me the cancer had spread to her liver, spine, hips and shoulders and that there was no cure. Four of the best doctors in this area did everything known to medical science, but they could not whip it. Funeral services were conducted by brother Olen Holderby of Merced, California, and brother Pat Broaddus of Alameda, California, on Tuesday, Oct. 25th, after which Eva's earthly remains were gently laid to rest in beautiful Memory Garden's Cemetery in Concord, California, to await the resurrection unto eternal life. Eva was born May 3, 1922. I baptized her into Christ when she was fifteen years old. We had been married 29 years on the 13th of last September. Beautiful floral offerings came from several different states, and expressions of sympathy from friends and brethren in the Lord have been many, and make the load less heavy. I have been preaching the gospel for 30 years, and I am glad that Eva was with me during 29 of these years.
