BAL025Description
Studio portrait of Carl Balch (1903-1998). In an April, 2006 interview, Mary Balch Kennedy recalled that the children at the Balch/Case compound would sometimes soap the tracks of the Interurban electric railway which ran past their home. The result was that the cars could not make it up the hill past the Hamsher residence. The kids would then climb up into the trees to "watch the show." A worker would have to get out of the car, carrying a bucket of sand, to sand the tracks and make them usable again. BAL025Collection
