George William Balderson was born in Muskingum county, Ohio, on may 3, 1855, and died at his home in Pickrell, Neb., on Monday, July 13, 1936, at the age of 81 years, 2 months, and 10 days.
When 9 years of age he moved with his parents to Northern Illinois, where he lived until 1872, when he went to Lancaster County, Neb. In 1884 he moved to the Balderson farm near Pickrell, and lived there and in Pickrell for 52 years, until called home.
Of interest to those who knew him was the fact that he had cut hay where the present magnificent capitol of Nebraska stands, and that he helped build the river line of the Burlington railway.
In 1887 he went back to Illinois and claimed Miss Martha Noon as his bride, at Sterling. Their home was blessed by five children, of whom died in early infancy. Tow sons, Ben H., who lives on the home farm near Pickrell, and Ray R. of Corning, Calif., and two daughters, Mrs. Sam Hoff of Omaha and Mrs. William Blomenkamp of Lincoln, Nebr., 22 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren survive him. His wife preceded him in the eternal home some nine years ago. One brother and one sister also survive him, as well as many other relatives.
Funeral services were held by his request from his home in Pickrell in charge of his pastor, Rev. Joseph G. Howell. A splendid tribute was brought in the sermon by a former pastor, Rev. F. W. McKain of Angus, Neb. A mixed quartet, Miss Agnes Johnston, Mrs. Clarence Schnake, F. L. Pothast, and P. C. Spencer, sang two gospel songs. Interment was in Pleasant View Cemetery beside his wife.
