SUCCUMBED TO EFFECTS OF INJURIES IN SCALDING ACCIDENT
Newton friends were greatly shocked last evening to learn that Andrew Balling, the Santa Fe engineer who was scalded in an accident at Kackney, on the Strong City branch recently, had passed away at the company hospital at Topeka, Thursday evening at 10:30. It was reported here the middle of the week that Mr Balling was doing well, and the announcement of his death came as a great sorrow to his many friends in Newton. Mr Balling was employed by the Santa Fe here for a number of years, and was held in high esteem by all who knew him.
He will be brought to Newton in the morning, and services will be held at the Duff undertaking parlors at 10:00 o'clock Sunday forenoon,in charge Rev R P McPherson of the Christian church. Interment will be made in the Newton cemetery.
A peculiarly sad feature to the death of this popular man is the fact that he was married but a few days ago to a lady, whose home was at Omaha, Neb, who is not well known in Newton. They resided at Superior, Neb, the end of Mr Balling's run.
The accident which eventually caused his death was a bursting of an arch flue in the engine, resulting in severe scalds.
A brother, Henry Balling, lives at Wichita. Mr Balling had run into Newton a share of the time during the last few years, but had not made his home here for several years.
