LUNENBURG
BURIAL OF w. E. BALcH

The community was again sadden
ed on Thursday, to learn of The
death on Wednesday evening of w
E. Balch in st. Johnsbury, after
long and painful illness, during which
he has been cared for most faithfully
by friends. Mr.. Balch was the old
est son of the late George S. ano
Elisa Glines Balch, was born in Lun-
enburg and with the exception of a
year in Michigan in his early life
! had always lived in this vicinity. His
work in taxidermy and later in pho
Biography and with the orchis of
this locality gave him deserved no.
tice among scientific men of the
country far and near.
A short service was held in the
class room of the Fairbanks Museum
at St. Johnsbury on Saturday after
noon, where many of Mr.. Balch's
masterpieces are installed, with eulog
by Rev. DR.. Poole of the South Con-
gregational church, and the body was
brought to Lunenburg and laid to rest
in Riverside cemetery, a short burial
service being read by Rev. G. w.
Douglas, and many of his friends
being present to say the last good
bye.
Much sympathy is felt for the only
son, Walter, and his wife and invalid
mother in their loss. The following
tribute to the memory of Mr.. Balch
was taken from the church calendar
of Sunday prepared by Rev. G. w.
Douglass
an the passing of William E.
Balch, whose body was buried yes
terday in the quiet yard at the foot
of the hill, underneath the flowers
which he loved, we have lost a fell
low ownsman and naturalist of
note. He knew where the rarcst
flowers grew, knew the habits, haunts
and habitat of the wild creatures of
the wood, photographed the timid
beaver at his work, mounted the form
of beast and bird, tropy of the
hunter, and found JOY not in pagean-
try and display, but in the secrets
concealed in the heart of nature. He
was erich in lore of fields and
brooks"
The ancient teachers never dumb
Of Natures unhoused lyceum.
While we do not possess his know
ledge, and while we may not attain
his skill, the life of Mr.. Balch speaks
to us of joys near yet rare, and urge
us to the seeking of Natures sec
rets, far and deep bur reminding us
still more of the wealth of field and
wood, close at hand, and that he may
be enriched who will"
Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Balch, Miss
Gratia Balch, Mrs. II. M. Pearl, Mr..

ternoon to attend the burial service
