If anyone has anymore information on this family, please let me know!

Minnie Ballard Stacy is the daughter of William R. Ballard born in New York and Sarah E. Livengood born in Indiana.
Minnie's sister, Carrie who married Abe Kindel, is buried in the local cemetery. Carrie was born in Iowa but you can see the family in 1885 in Center, Kansas with Minnie (she was the youngest). I realize it shows the father as Millan and a brother of the same name but William and Millan can easily be confused. Carrie also has a sister named either Cora or Cara but the ages of everyone are perfect for the William Ballard family. William and Sarah Ballard were in the home of Abe and Carrie Kindel in Crescent City, Del Norte county in 1900, the same year Minnie is in her home in Smith River, Del Norte County. Del Norte County is extremely small county. Smith River is about 10 miles from Crescent City.

Carrie Kindel stayed here in Del Norte County and died here on Christmas Day 1954.

1. Clarence Leroy stacy Birth 12 Sep 1896 in Bacon, Vernon, Missouri, United States Death 2 May 1973 in Pittsburg, Crawford, Kansas

2. Elbert Abe Stacy Birth 13 Jan 1901 in Crescemt City, Del Norte, California, United States Death 28 May 1962 in Kansas City, Wyandotte, Kansas
