The Daily Courier  March 29, 1909
BALSLEY, MRS. SAMUEL L.    Samuel L. Balsley expected to go to Pittsburg this
morning to be present at 
an operation upon his wife, but a message from Mercy Hospital at an early hour took
him there by the 
first train only to find Mrs. Balsley a corpse.  Up to that time reports of her
condition had been very 
favorable.
  Mrs. Balsley was taken to the hospital on Friday and the operation was not to have
been performed 
until today.  She was alone, but her husband expected to join her today.
  It was deemed advisable to have the operation performed at an earlier date than
was expected.  It was 
only to have been a slight one and no serious consequences were anticipated.
  When the message came early this morning that Mrs. Balsley's condition was
serious, he and Paul 
Wiant, father of Mrs. Balsley, took the express for Pittsburg.  Before they arrived
at the hospital Mrs. 
Balsley had passed away.
  Mrs. Balsley was 34 years nod and was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Wiant
of Washington 
avenue.  She was born and reared in Clarion.  About 22 years ago the family moved to
New Haven, later 
going to Washington avenue, Connellsville.  About 12 years ago Mrs. Balsley was
married to Samuel L. 
Balsley, a well known resident of Connellsville.  Mrs. Balsley was an active member
of the Trinity 
Lutheran Church and its various societies and had a wide circle of friends who will
regret to learn of her 
untimely death.  In addition to her husband and two children, Thomas, aged 8 years,
and Ella Louise, 
aged 5 years, deceased is survived by her parents and three brothers, Rev. Max
Wiant, Fred and Ralph 
Wiant.
