Last week two children of Division Street resident Richard Balge here
died one after the other –one 8 years old and one 9 months. The children
were buried together on Friday.
[Note from cem. office: I don’t show 3 in 1907 – only Irma (9 mo) & Lyman (2 yr)
(both buried on 9/27/1907). I think the newspaper just made a mistake on Lyman’s
age in the 2nd obit.

2 BURIED FROM SAME HOME TODAY
Death Has been Cruel to Mr. and Mrs. Richard Balge
Twice within a week had Death entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Balge,
Division Street, and this morning, a double funeral was held from the saddened
household, the bodies of the two infant children of the couple being laid to
rest in the same grave at Evergreen. A few days ago death claimed the two year
old son of the family and Thursday night another child, aged 9 months was taken.
Many friends will tender sympathy to the bereaved parents.
