    • Newspaper Article - Thursday, June 6, 1889 Sandy Creek News - Sandy Creek, New York - Orwell - Mrs. Walstein Balch lies in a very singular state. Last Thursday evening she was taken worse, she haying been sick for a number of weeks from the burning of her hand with hot lard and after a short time she went into a comatose state and up to this writing, which is five days, she has slept and taken no food or nourishment of any kind and has not shown any signs of waking. Her sleep seems quite a natural sleep, her breathing being quite regular. The doctors that have attended her say she will never be conscious or cannot live but a short time.

      Newspaper Article - Thursday, June 13, 1889 Sandy Creek News - Sandy Creek, New York - Orwell - The funeral of Mrs. Walstein Balch took place last Saturday at her late residence. Rev. Mr. Weed conducted the services. Mrs. Balch was an old resident of the town and leaves many one friends to mourn her loss. Many relatives from out of town attended the funeral. She leaves a husband and one son. She was a prominent member of the W.C.T.U. in town. The seven days preceding her death she laid in an unconscious state from which she never rallied. She was buried in Evergreen cemetery.

      Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, June 13, 1889 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Chataugay - Mrs. Waistein Balch had a shock of apoplexy a few days ago, from which she never recovered entire consciousness, and from which, together with the bursting of a blood vessel on the brain. she died June 6th.

      Newspaper Article - Thursday, June 13, 1889 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Vorea - We were very sorry to hear of the death of Mrs. Balch, and she was such a good, kind and affectionate woman that she will be missed more than ordinary people are. We extend our sympathy to her bereaved kindred, knowing as they do, that she was one that was rarely equaled in all the qualities that constitute a noble woman.
