On 24 Jul 1861 the New York Times paid tribute to the Rhode Islanders killed at Manassas, including Major Ballou and six other officers from his unit.
He was mustered out of the Army on 28 July 1861 because he had died of his wounds.
His remains could not be recovered from Manassas until after the Confederates left, so his burial in Providence was on 31 Mar 1862.
