Many thanks to Susan Ing, and
a special thanks to Connie Nisinger for her
genuine kindness, time, and photographs! |

Note: Section
9 of the cemetery is a common area, meaning
these are individual graves which were used
as needed, and not family lots. It is also
the oldest part of the cemetery, and as seen
in the following photos, this section has no
headstones.

 The
daughter of Christopher Anthony Ballard
& Eleanor (Mossman), Louisa was born
28 Feb 1809 in Grayson Co., Virginia. By

Twp., Logan Co., Ohio and ten years later
the family was in Springfield, Illinois
where she married Ezekiel Pilcher, son of
Shadrach Pilcher and Sarah (Proctor) on
08 May 1828.
She and her family appear to
have lived in or around Springfield where
eight of their ten children (including
two sets of twins) were born. Family
papers indicate that Ezekiel died in
Woodburn, Macoupin Co., Illinois in 1858,
and by 1860 Louisa had moved to St.
Louis. Her household at that time
included five of her children: Richard
M., Alexander, Edward, Ellenor, and
Clarissa.
Louisa later lived with her
married daughter, Eleanor Burden, where
she was enumerated in the 1870 census in
the 9th Ward of St. Louis. She died on 22
Dec 1872 at the age of 63 years, 9
months, and 24 days.
