DEATH OP M. D. BALKAR
East Sunday morning the many
friends of M.D. Balsar were pained
to hear that he had dropped dead
in his home on the Sandspit, at
a'bout 10 am. As was U9ual some
of hja close freinds called every
Sunday morning for a chat with
him, between 10 and 12 o’clock.
A native man called at 8 am on
Mr. ftalzar and found him in good
health and spirits..
Oilier freinds calling later found
'him dead on the floor, a note
found on the table said, “Ed. look
after things, I am awfully sick,
signed* M.I). ftalzar, 10 am, Sunday
March 5“. The note was evidently
addressed to Ed Jensen, who al
ways called every Sunday morning
to bring water, wood and other
things for him, as Mr. B&lzar was
a cripple having lost his leg a few
years ago. He had as usual on Sun
day made bread and it was in the
oven baking at the time of his
death.
He was suffering from diabetes
and had evidently eaten something
that did not agree with him thus
causing his death. He was ^born
in Lynn, Mass., Sept. 22. 1860, and
after graduating from college
went to Wisconsin, later went to
Montana, thence to Tacoma, Wash
became Interested in Alaska com
ing here In 1900, was engaged in
the foundry and mining activities
until six years ago when his right
leg was amputated. Mr. Balzar
was respected for Ills good busi
ness judgement and his honesty
and loyalty to friends, who will
miss him, especially Joseph Hend
riks; his partner for *20 years. He
is survived by a nephew, Clinton
Balsar, of Lynn, Mass.
The funeral of the late M.D.
Balzar took place Thursday at 2
p.m. from the Nome Federated
Church, Rev. Forrester conducting
the services. In the eulogy which
he delivered he spoke feelingly of
the Christian principles of the de
ceased whom lie said was one of
of the fine old pioneers of Alaska,
and one of the noblest men it had
been his pleasure to meet. After
the church services the body of the
deceased was placed in the morgue
at Belmont Point. The following
old freinds acted as pall bearers:
Thomas Gaffney, Tborulf Lehman,
M.J. Walsh/ Pete Bather. Arthur
MoLean. Thomas I). Jensen. A
large concourse of friends and
neighbors filled the church to pay
their last respects.
