Ballou Family
Born March 27, 1862 in Illinois, Miss Myra Ballou never married. Apparently she remained at the family farm near Milton, Oregon with her parents. The other siblings left.
Family relationships among the siblings are as follows:
- Children
- Lillian, born in Lisle, IL, August 20, 1860
- Myra, born in Lisle, IL, March 27, 1862
- Grant Alby, born in Lisle, IL, March 16, 1864
- Clarence O., born in Lisle, IL, January 18, 1866
- Edna Mabel, born in Lisle, IL, December 9, 1869, died June 18, 1873
- Henry Euberto, born in Lisle, IL, August 22, 1871
- Bertha Amelia, born in Santa Rosa, CA, April 18, 1874
- Florence Perditon, born in Milton, OR, October 22, 1880
The family home in Umatilla County, Oregon was known as "Brookside." It was a home very dear to the children.
Orlando R. Ballou, Myra's father, was engaged in farming, dairying and fruit raising. He was said to have rendered valuable service to the Union during the Civil War.
Not much is written about Myra except that she came to Spokane with her father to bring fruit to the Fair.
Florence Ballou married David Brown in 1903. He died in 1951.
- Helen McMillen (of Denver and Milton-Freewater, OR)
- Sylvia Goodrich (of Spokane, WA, Mrs. Warren Goodrich)
- Gordon Brown (of Olympia)
