The Ballard Cemetery is on Stayman Flats located below the Knapp’s Hill Tunnel on Hwy 97A between Entiat and Chelan. This is a private family cemetery. Permission must be gained from the property owners.
From Entiat: At the intersection of Hwy 97A and Risk Street, go north 8 miles on Hwy 97A to Stayman Flats Road. Proceed 3 miles north on Stayman Flats Road. Turn west/left onto an unmarked, narrow, partly paved road. Proceed up the hill .7 of a mile to a house. The cemetery is located approximately 200 feet beyond the house on a small knoll. The cemetery is about 1/2 acre surrounded by a chain link fence. It contains six graves.
From Chelan: At the intersection of Hwy 97A and Hwy 971, proceed south 6.9 miles on 97A and turn left onto Stayman Flats Road. The Ballard family lived near Lakeside, Chelan County before the 1910 census. The family burial ground is near the site of the family’s first cabin on the edge of Ballard Flats overlooking the Columbia River.
The Ballard family operated a 240-acre farm/orchard on Dover Flats, now Stayman Flats, until their land began to be overrun by setbacks for the railroad and by rising water behind the Rocky Reach Dam. 
“Homesteaders of Chelan Butte” by Ford Van Voorhis is an excellent resource for this family. The book is available at the WAGS Library [WA CO-04 979.935 Chelan Butte].

The Custom SEARCH Builder ‘Add Condition’ Button filter above the data table is used to search (filter) data in any or all column(s) of the data table. You select the columns needed to limit your search. To start over, first try your Refresh key; then use the Clear ‘X’ or ‘Clear All’ button to clear out any prior search text you have entered.
Use the ‘+’ button on the left of the row to better view data for that row in a dialog box window rather than the wrapped text in each cell of the table.
The table SEARCH box filter on the top right can also be used to search for data in ANY column. No need to use ‘wildcard’ characters in your search–the filters do that automatically. Therefore don’t put too much info in the custom or table filter boxes; it could cause nothing to be found. Start with just a few characters in the search boxes.
