    Alfa Ballard, 88

    Alfa C. Ballard, the daughter of John and Maria (Winkjer) Wicken was born November 23, 1908, the first of five children. She was baptized at East Moe Lutheran Church where she later confirmed her faith. The family later moved from the Garfield area to a farm on the south shore of Lake Darling. Alfa attended high school in Alexandria. Because of her mother's death at an early age, Alfa accepted the responsibility of raising her four younger brothers. She was employed at the Alexandria Hotel as a young woman.

    Alfa was married in the fall of 1928 to Wallace L. Ballard. Two children were born to them. Following Wallace's death in 1954, Alfa was employed at the Herberger Department Store in Alexandria. After her retirement she continued her involvement in church and community organizations. She was an active member of First Lutheran Church and for many years was responsible for the nursery at the United Methodist Church. A member of the Sons of Norway, Alfa was very proud of her Norwegian heritage.

    Alfa died at her home in Alexandria on April 9, 1997. She was 88 years of age. She will be remembered by family and friends for her unfailing optimism, her sense of humor and her infallible memory.

    She loved to tell stories about the early days of Alexandria, particularly recalling events and people she worked with at the Alexandria Hotel and Herbergers. She loved people and always had time for a cup of coffee and some visiting. A lifetime resident of Douglas County, Alfa was frequently called upon to "set the record straight" concerning some family history, or other historical facts.
