Obituary of George Balch.
Died at his home in Earlton, Kas., August 16, 1909, George B. Balch. He was born in Coles county, Illinois, March 15, 1832. He lived in Illinois until the breaking out of the war of the rebellion and in 1862 enlisted in the Third Wisconsin volunteers and served three years and six months. After the war he came to Kansas in 1866, and to Neosho county, where he spent his after-life as a very busy, energetic farmer and stockman of extra ability. He was married to Mrs. Sarah Noble in 1870. To them were born three sons and one daughter, all of which, with the wife and mother, are left to mourn the loss of a devoted husband and father. He was converted in a revival held in Earlton by Rev. N. I. Verda and united with the United Brethren church and remained in the same a faithful and earnest Christian man. Thus the church and the G. A. R. post at Earlton loses from their ranks a good man and brother. He leaves a very large circle of friends to mourn with the kind and afflicted family their lass, but feeling that their loss is His gain. He had been in rather poor health for some time, and but just recently he returned from a trip to the North in search of health and to visit a son and friends in that country. Only being permitted to stay two weeks, he returned home to take another and final trip to a better country.
Dear friends and family and comrades of the G. A. R., let us strive to meet him in his better home. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. L. W. Stone, pastor of the United Brethren church, Earlton, Kas., and the G. A. R. post of the same place on August 18, and the body of our brother was laid to rest in Elmwood cemetery, Chanute, Kas.
