to ST. Johnsbury where they have since
resided. Mrs. Balch was an active member
of the Universalist church, a great help in
the work of the Ladies' Society and for
many years a member Of the Woman's Re-
lief Corps. She was a lady of many lovable
traits of character, kindhearted, always
eager to help others in sickness and one
who will be greatly missed in the home.

Charles F. Varney, an aged mother in East
Charleston, two sisters, Mrs. Mary A. Cate
of ST Johnsbury and Mrs. S. G. Streeter of
