Our line follows through John Bradley Ballard, who is buried in Central City, Colorado. He moved out here prior to Colorado becoming a state, and is considered a "Pioneer" for the state of Colorado. I noticed your mention of certain names being passed down, and wnated to share with you that my father-in-law's name is Charley Ernest Ballard.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Mrs. Galyn M.

Then wash with lot of water. - Alway clean the countertop as early as possible. If you see some liquid falling on countertop, remove immediately so that they do not cause any stains. <br /><br />and<br /><br />coffee or tea stains can be scrubbed off using a damp sponge sprinkled with baking soda. For countertop stains:1.Squeeze on lemon juice and let set for a few minutes. Then sprinkle on baking soda and scrub gently with dampened sponge. May need to let baking soda paste set for half an hour.2.Make a paste of baking soda and water, let set for a few minutes, then wipe clean.3.Use club soda or a laundry stain remover, let set for a while, scrub with a nylon scrubber. Spray grease spatter with a weak solution of ammonia and water, wipe immediately. Remember counter tops can be polished with furniture polish, car or floor wax for a shiny protective finish.
