The following are extrapolated from notes in the Fell Cemetery section of the Fairfield Public Library about George F Balding: "Fairfield Tribune, Wed. July 5, 1899 7-4. Libertyville. George F. Balding and wife of Hot Springs, Ark., are visiting at A.J. Slimmer's. George will be remembered by the old settlers. He belonged to Co. E, Second Iowa Infantry, and after the war, in 1866, he went west and his friends never heard from him until last winter at Hot Springs, Ark. He is quite feeble in health. Fairfield Daily Journal, Dec 27 1915 2-3. OLD SOLDIER PASSES AWAY. G. F. Balding, an old time resident of Jefferson County, and a Civil War veteran, died at the home of his sister, Mrs. C.G. Day, in Winfield, Friday morning the 24th, after a brief illness. Mr. Balding was born in Ross County, Ohio July 24, 1841 and came to Iowa with his parents in 1850, locating near Libertyville in Jefferson County. He enlisted in Co. F, 2nd Iowa Cavalry, serving for four years. At the close of the war he went west, where he remained until 1908, when at the death of his wife he returned to Iowa where he made his home with his sister until his death. He is survived by one brother, W.H. Balding of Dayton, Washington; and four sisters, Mrs. C.G. Day of Winfield; Mrs. J.N. Slimmer and Mrs A J Riniker of Libertyville; Lydia Brooks of Calif. Funeral services were held at Winfield Dec 25 and interment was made at Libertyville." Note: Lewis G Balding was a brother of George. He is reported in the same Fell Cemetery notes (undated) as having enlisted in Co. F, 3rd Iowa Cavalry, August 26, 1861 as Company Q.M. Sergeant; died of wounds October 28, 1864 at Fort Leavenworth, Kans. Buried in National Cemetery, Fort Leavenworth, Section D, grave 1081. His entry can be found at the Fort Leavenworth National Cemetery (Kansas) listing on Find A Grave. (Lewis is interred as LJ Baldwin) Evidently the Balding family placed Lewis's name on the same headstone as is George's as a memorial, but did not specifically state on the Fell Cemetery headstone that Lewis is in fact buried at Fort Leavenworth National Cemetery. After contacting Leavenworth National Cemetery, Lewis is indeed buried in Leavenworth but under the incorrect last name. He is listed there as LJ Baldwin.
