The Evening Post 21st February 1914 shows
Ballard - On the 20th February, at Wellington, James Gardiner Ballard, late Inspector of Telegraph Offices; aged 62 years. Private interment
The Evening Post 23rd February 1914
The death occurred in Wellington on Friday of Mr. James Gardiner Ballard, one of the first officers in the Post and Telegraph Department of the Dominion, he having joined that branch of the Civil Service at Christchurch in 1866. Mr. Ballard's father was one of the pioneers of the Canterbury district, and held an official position in the Immigration Department for many years, dying in 1877. His mother, also an old Canterbury settler, is still living in Dunedin, and has reached the age of 96 years. Mr. Ballard was stationed at Waipukurau as postmaster during the Maori troubles of 1869, and had occasionally to assist in manning the stockade there on account of frequent rumours of Native outbreaks. He also held the position of chief postmaster at Blenheim and officer-in-charge of the Telegraph Office at Dunedin, being ultimately appointed Inspector of Telegraph Offices upon the creation of that Position in April, 1907. Failing health brought about his retirement on pension in 1909, and he succumbed to an affection of the heart on Friday at the age of 63 years. Mr. Ballard leaves a widow (a daughter of the late Mr. Sol Levy, one of Wellington's earliest settlers) and a son and daughter (Mr. Leonard Ballard and Mrs. T. Roberts, of Dunedin). The funeral took place this morning, the interment being made in the Bolton-street Cemetery. The chief mourners were Mr. Ballard's son, and his nephews (Messrs. W. and G. Townsend), and his brothers-in-law (Messrs. Falk Cohen and George Levy). The pall-bearers were Messrs. Dall (Assistant-Secretary), Buckley (Chief Electrician), Hawk (Superintendent Telegraph Office), and Andrews (Senior Clerk, Telegraph Division). Among others present were Mr. J. F. Andrews, I.S.O., Secretary to the Cabinet, and Mr. J. Stephens, late inspector of the National Bank. The floral tokens from Mr. Ballard's associate in the Department and his private friends were very numerous and beautiful.
