From the Westford Wardsman, 5 July 1913
Obituary. Mrs. Sarah F. Balch, wife of Wayland F. Balch, died at her home on Friday afternoon of last week after a long illness. She was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Solomon Richardson and was born in Jaffrey, N.H., in 1841. For many years the family home was in Parkerville, at the south part of the town, but about seventeen years ago Mr. Balch bought the pleasant village home on Boston road, where they have lived since.
Mrs. Balch is survived by her husband, three daughters—Agnes and Mary, of Westford, and Mrs. Edwin B. Currier, of Carlisle; two grand-daughters, Edna and May Currier, also of Carlisle; one brother, Charles N. Richardson; one sister, Mrs. Sherman H. Fletcher, and two nieces, Misses Gertrude and Julia Fletcher.
Mrs. Balch was a loving wife and devoted mother to the daughters who in turn cared so tenderly for her in her illness. She possessed a gentle and refined personality and was gifted in all the gentle arts of housewifery and the needle, and was especially fond of music, flowers and pictures. Her memory will be cherished by all the relatives and friends who came within the circle of her love and friendship.
The funeral was held from her late home on Monday afternoon of this week, Rev. Lyman B. Weeks being the officiating clergyman. There was a profusion of beautiful floral offerings. Interment was in the family lot in Fairview cemetery.
