Julia (Ballard) Heddins' newspaper obituary, Jan. 1937 |
Tombstone of Isaiah & Julia (Ballard) Heddins at Myrtle Springs
Cemetery near Canton, Texas. See
FindAGrave Memorial Corrections: Isaiah was born in 1857 (not 1855) and Julia was born in 1860 (not 1862). Also, Isaiah always spelled his last name with the S at the end (see his tax records), but his son Jim--who omitted the S--had the tombstones made. :-) |

(Scott) Heddins They had no children. Joe was the runt of the family and was said to be "slow." He died of diabetes related heart failure at the age of 50 in 1946. After his death, Vula moved to Sweetwater, Texas where she is buried (she is not buried next to Joe even though her name is on the tombstone) |
