A Peaceful Passing Away—More Than Three Score and Ten Years of Age.
The death of Zenas H Ballard occurred at 8 o'clock last evening from the effects of hemorrhage of the brain. He had a chill Monday, after which he grew worse, but retained consciousness until yesterday morning at 4 o'clock. After that time he did not recognize any one. The end came quietly—peacefully as was his wish. He enjoyed good health until t wo years ago when he suffered a stroke of paralysis, since which time he had been more or less confined to his home, 886 west Main street. He was born in Rochester, N.Y., and was 70 years of age last May. He was in the dry goods business for many years in his native city at the same time owning and running a line of boats on the Erie canal. About thirty-two years ago he moved to Kalamazoo where he has since resided. He leaves six children, three daughters and three sons, Mrs. R. N. R. Wheeler of Saginaw, Mrs. S. C. Rickman of Grand Rapids, Miss Hattie of this city, and Messrs. W. A. Bullard of Detroit, C. G. Bullard and L. H. Bullard both of this city, also a sister, Mrs. M. A. Salmon of Rochester, N. Y. Mr. Bullard is well known to the older residents having been closely identified for so many years with Kalamazoo
Mr. Bullard was a kind father, and one of his children in speaking of him said this morning to THE TELEGRAPH, “He has been father and mother both since our mother died fourteen years ago.” Mrs. Wheeler arrived last evening at 10 o'clock and W. A. Bullard reached the city yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Rickman was expected today. Kalamazoo Daily Telegraph November 22, 1894 page 1
