William Anson Balch was born on March 3, 1870, and died Jan. 6, 1926, aged 55 years, 10 months and 3 days.
Mr. Balch was the son of the late Charles D. and Sylvia Bliven Balch, and was born on the Balch homestead near Lake Koshkonong, some four miles from the village of Milton Junction. On this farm he spent practically all his life, growing to manhood there and later entering into partnership with his father. Upon the death of the father he took over the farm.
August 15, 1907, he was married to Miss Alice Jane Miller, who with five children, Erford, Thelma, Edwin, Lenora and Elizabeth, are left to mourn his death. Besides these there is a sister, Mrs. Harry S. Green, and a brother, Homer, both of whom live on neighboring farms.
He had been in poor health for three years, having suffered partial paralysis. However, he had improved so as to be able to get about the place until a few days before his death when he was stricken with what seemed to be a severe cold which hastened the end.
Mr. Balch was baptized by the Rev. George W. Hills, and united with the Rock River Seventh Day Baptist church in about 1888, and remained a member of the church until it disbanded.
Funeral services were held in the Milton Junction Seventh Day Baptist church, Sabbath afternoon, January 9, and were conducted by the pastor, Erlo E. Sutton. Burial was in the Rock River cemetery.
