Published: Wednesday, September 3, 2008 3:55 AM EDT
Edward Parke Ballard of Gillett, Pa., born April 4, 1916 in Troy, Pa.,
the beloved son of the late Harry Shepard and Jennie (Parke) Ballard, died
Monday, Sept. 1, 2008, at his home at the age of 92.
On May 19, 1951, Edward was united in Holy Matrimony to Grace Bell.
This past May marked their 57th anniversary.
Survivors include: his loving wife, Grace; daughters, Marjorie (Thomas)
Burkert of Howell, Mich.; Christine Ballard of Lockhaven, Pa.; sons, Lynn
(Barbara) Congdon of Gillett, Pa.; Tom (Jeanette) Congdon of Pine City,
N.Y.; step-son, Lynn Lewis of Tampa, Fla.; along with 13 adored grandchildren
and several much-loved great grandchildren. Edward has been a member of
the Free and Accepted Masons for over 60 years. He was the past Thrice
Potent Master of the Scottish Rite Consistory, 32nd Degree Mason, past
Noble Grand & District Deputy of the International order of Odd Fellows
and also served as President of the Troy and Gillett Senior Citizen Organizations.
He was also a member of the Advisory Committee for the Area Agency on Aging.
In 1995, he was the White House Conference on Aging representative. For
over 12 years, he was the South Creek Township supervisor, a school board
director, township assessor and a Republican State Committee man. For 70+
years, Edward consistently voted in elections and received Presidential
Recognition for that accomplishment. As a State Representative, he attended
four Republican Conventions. He was a charter member of the South Creek
Lions Club and was a member of the Gillett Baptist Church. Edward was very
involved with the Bradford County history and was a great genealogist and
outstanding historian. Family and friends are invited to gather at 1 p.m.
on Friday, Sept. 5, 2008, at the Gillett Baptist Church (Route 14 South)

Need a volunteer to type in Excel spreadsheet the Mercantile licenses
for Tioga County for several years- Can send .jpg images. It will be
by township with years in columns. Will require patience. The result will
be a good business directory for each township over a period of time roughly
1920-1945. An excellent project for a serious local history scholar. |
