Histories

Elizabeth, daughter of Nathan and Clara G. Hanes was born in Chemung county, New York, November 27, 1864, and died of appendicitis at her home 520 East First street. She was married to Andrew Balling in 1886. They came to Kansas about 1896. She was a member of the Christian church, and had always been faithful and active in whatever duty came to her, serving the church on its board of officers at the time of her death.

"She has finished her work, and her journey is over,
The war is accomplished, the triumph begun;
She laid down her armor beside the cold river,
And brilliant with stars is the crown she has won."
