Descendants of John R. Balch - Howard Stone Baulch Family

Descendants of John R. Balch 

Generation No. 1 

1. JOHN R. 2 BALCH (? 1 ) was born 11 Oct 1810 in Tennessee or Kentucky, USA, and died 30 Jul 1892 in 

Gallatin, Sumner, Tennessee, USA. He married SOPHIA STONE 17 Jan 1833 in Sumner, Tennessee, USA, 

daughter of NICHOLAS STONE and ELIZABETH LOVING. She was born 06 Aug 1814 in Gallatin, Sumner, 

Tennessee, USA, and died 05 Sep 1885 in Gallatin, Sumner, Tennessee, USA. 

Notes for JOHN R. BALCH: 

There is no Balch or Baulch listed in the 1830 Census of Sumner County, so it is presumed that John R. 

Balch moved to Sumner County, Tennessee between the 1830 census taking and January 17, 1833 when 

he was licensed to marry Sophia Stone. 

From the Sumner County, Tennessee Court records, 

"State of Tennessee, Sumner County, SS. 

To any regular Minister of the Gospel, having the care of souls -- 

Or to any Justice of the Peace for said County -- GREETING -- 

By virtue of the full power and authority in me vested, 

I do hereby and authorize and empower you, or any of you, 

to celebrate and perform the rites of Matrimony between 

John Balch and Sophia Stone 

and join them together as Husband and Wife -- he having 

given security according to law. Given under my hand, 

at office, this 17th day of January A. D. 1833 

and 57th year of American Independence. 

A. H. Douglas, Clerk" 

1840 Census of Sumner County, Tennessee; Sixth Census of the United States, page 47, lists John Balch 

and his family as follows: 

Free White Males: one under age 5, one age 5-10, one age 30-40 (this would be John and sons William 

Nicholas and Alfred Nelson, although both sons were under the age of five at the time of the census) 

Free While Females: one under age 5, one age 5-10, one age 10-15, one age 30-40 (this would be Sophia 

and daughters Mary Catherine and Elizabeth F., although both daughters were between 5-10 at the time 

of the census; it is not known who the person age 10-15 might have been) 

No Free Colored Persons recorded; No Slaves recorded. 

1850 Census of Sumner County, Tennessee; Seventh Census of the United States, Tennessee, Sumner 

County, Microfilm M432, Roll 897, District 11, Page 280 lists John as the head of household number 44 as 

follows: 

Name, Age, Sex 

Balch, John, 39, M 

Balch, Sophia, 36, F 

Balch, Catharine, 17, F 

Balch, Elizabeth, 15, F 

Balch, William, 13, M 

Balch, Alfred, 11, M 

Balch, Elizabeth, 9, F 

Balch, Martha, 7, F 

Balch, Nancy, 5, F 

Balch, John, 1, M 

Note: The ages for Susan Eliza, Martha, and Nancy appear incorrect in this census. According to later 

census data and the John R. Baulch Family Bible, at this point in time, they were 5, 3, and 2, respectively. 

1860 Census of Sumner County, Tennessee; Eighth Census of the United States, Tennessee, Sumner 

County, Civil District 10, lists household 99 as follows: 

Name, Age, Sex, Birthplace

Balch, John, 49, M, Tenn 

Balch, Sophia, 47, F, Tenn 

Balch, Wm, 23, M, Tenn 

Balch, Catherine, 25, F, Tenn 

Balch, Alfred, 21, M, Tenn 

Balch, Eliza, 15, F, Tenn 

Balch, Marthy, 13, F, Tenn 

Balch, Nancy, 11, F, Tenn 

Balch, Jane, 8, F, Tenn 

Balch, Joseph, 4, M, Tenn 

1870 Census of Sumner County, Tennessee; Ninth Census of the United States, Tennessee, Sumner 

County, Civil District 11, page 728 lists House # 106-106 as follows: 

Name, Age, Birthplace 

Baulch, John, 59, KY 

Baulch, Sophia, 55, Tenn 

Baulch, Nancy, 21, Tenn 

Baulch, Susan, 19, Tenn 

Baulch, Jane, 18, Tenn 

Baulch, Joseph, 14, Tenn 

Hickison, Robert, 8, Tenn 

Note: The age for Susan appears incorrect in this census. She would have been 25 at this time. Robert 

Higgason (misspelled as Hickison in the 1870 Census) came to live with the Baulch family some time after 

his father, John W. Higgason, was killed in the Civil War in 1864. Siblings Sarah and Fountain were taken 

in by the William Nicholas Baulch family (household 108). Son Alfred is recorded in household 107. 

The 1878 map of District 9 (Gallatin and areas northwest) identifies the properties of J. Baulch (John 

Baulch) and A. Baulch (Alfred Baulch) on Douglass Pike. 

1880 Census of Sumner County, Tennessee; Tenth Census of the United States, Tennessee, Sumner 

County, Rolls 1202, Page 133, as recorded by W. C. Dobbins, "Page No. 12, Supervisor's District 3, 

Enumeration District 215, Inhabitants in 9th civil district in the County of Sumner, State of Tenn 

enumerated by me on the 9th day of June, 1880." Information was recorded as to Name; Race/Sex; 

Age; Relationship to Head of Household; Single/Married/Widowed/Divorced; Occupation; Birthplace; 

Father's Birthplace; and Mother's Birthplace as follows: 

Balch, John; W; M; 70; ; M; Farmer; Tenn; Scotland; Ireland. 

Balch, Suffia; W; F; 66; wife; M; Keeping (house); Tenn; Va; Tenn. 

Balch, Susus E.; W; F; 30; daughter; S; ; Tenn; Tenn; Tenn.

Lindsay, John F.; W; M; 3; grandson; S; ; Tenn; Tenn; Tenn. 

Lindsay, Fannie A.; W; F; 2; grandaughter; S; ; Tenn; Tenn; Tenn. 

Of note, regarding the aforementioned census information is the following: 

1) John Balch listed his birthplace state as Tennessee; family legend led us to believe that he was from 

Kentucky; in this same census, Alfred Balch listed his father, John's, birthplace state as Kentucky. 

2) Suffia Balch is Sophia Stone Balch; the phonetic spelling reinforces the presumption that many census 

takers were uneducated. 

3) Susus E. Balch is Susan E. Balch. In this census her health condition is listed as "paralized." 

4) Jane Lindsay is Matilda Jane Balch Lindsay. Her husband, William H. LIndsay, is not listed in the 1880 

Census for Sumner County, but Jane Lindsay listed her marital status as "Married" and not "Widowed" or 

"Divorced". 

5) The ages of Susan and Matilda Jane are reversed. 

Nothing definitive is known about John R. Balch's parents. The only documented clue we have is from the 

1880 Census where he reported that his father was from Scotland and his mother was from Ireland. Yet, 

we do not really know if John's family came from Scotland and Ireland. Howard Stone Baulch's father and 

uncles (James H. Baulch, Ernest F. Baulch, and Nelson H. Baulch) passed along that the Baulch family 

came from Germany originally and that the "u" was dropped to Americanize the name. It is possible that 

the family could have migrated from Germany to Scotland and later to the States, but we can find no

evidence to support that nor any evidence of Baulches in Germany. The similar name in Germany is 

Bolich. 

The following information is transcribed from a letter by family researcher, Jessie Nimmo Hunter, passed 

from James Homer Baulch to Howard Stone Baulch, regarding the spelling of Baulch and from where John 

R. Balch may have come: 

"All of Grandpa's [William Nicholas Baulch's] records in Sumner County (deeds to land, etc.), the name 

was spelled B A L C H. You may recall that Uncle Alfred spelled his name 'Balch.' We thought, of course, 

that he was the one who was 'out of step.' Also, all my references were for this spelling. I am positive 

that, though I've never found why, Grandpa changed it about 1830 and the original spelling is correct. ... 

Since the only folk story repeated about the Balch family was that the John Balch who came to Sumner 

County when he had run away from home was that his sister had lost her wedding dress when crossing 

the Green River. I thought this would be easy [to research] but that river crosses up and down and across 

Kentucky from one end to the other." 

D La Pierre Ballard (a fourth cousin, a fifth cousin, a double fifth cousin, twice a double fourth cousin once 

removed, and a quadruple fifth cousin of Howard Stone Baulch), who has done much research and 

gathered much information on the Stone and Baulch families, offers this perspective on the Baulch name: 

"Before 1850 names were as they were pronounced and any reasonable spelling was all right. 

Undoubtedly, Balch was the original, but Baulch was adopted to keep the 'ah' or 'au' sound rather than to 

let the 'a' go to the 'a' as in apple. My name Ballard did not have its spelling changed because the 'a' as in 

apple did not make it awkward to say. The early pronunciation of Ballard had the 'a' as in ball. You can see 

this if you see the movie, 'Mrs. Miniver', incidentally. In England, Ballard has the 'a' as in ball rather than 

the 'a' as in apple as it does here in America. The 'au' in Baulch is pronounced as the 'au' as in author." 

A potential father of John R. Balch could be John Baulch who served in the War of 1812 in Allison's 

Regiment of the East Tennessee Militia. No research has been done on his family. 

Gene Edward Balch, a 12th generation descendant of John Balch (1631-1690) who settled in Lord 

Baltimore's Maryland Colony in 1658, offers another possibility. Gene has researched the Balch family for 

over thirty years. He believes "that John R. Balch may be one and the same as young John Balch, son of 

William & Rebecca, of Sparta, Tennessee. This John Balch disappeared from the campsite during a trip 

with his two brothers and his mother, in about 1827-1828." He could be correct, even though William & 

Rebecca Balch of Sparta, Tennessee were born in Maryland and North Carolina, not in Scotland and 

Ireland as John R. Balch reported for the 1880 Census. The coincidence of family legends is striking. 

The Balch DNA project received results from Gene Balch's testing in November 2009, comparing the John 

R. Balch line (Howard Baulch's DNA) with the Balch Family of Maryland. They matched on 37 markers, so 

there is a Balch connection somewhere between these two family lines.

Information from 1850 Census of Sumner County, Tennessee; Seventh Census of the United States, 

Tennessee, Sumner County, Microfilm M432, Roll 897, DIstrict 11, Microfilm Page number 280 does not 

list a "Susan Eliza" but does list another Elizabeth who is probably Susan Eliza. Nonetheless, the census 

gives an age of 9 putting her birth date about 1841, not 1844. 

In the 1880 Census she is living with her parents. As her tombstone is enscribed "Susan E. Baulch", it is 

presumed that she never married.

Tennessee, Sumner County, Microfilm M432, Roll 897, DIstrict 11, Microfilm Page number 280 lists Nancy 

but lists her age as 5 putting her birth at about 1845 as opposed to 1848. Note that the census spells 

her last name as Balch. 

At the time of the 1880 Census she was living with her uncle, Francis A. Stone, in Kaufman Co., Texas.

"In Memory of Mr. Wyley Brazzell, Who Died Aug. 11, 1878. 

Dear Uncle Willy:-They tell me that without my knowledge you have lain six months in your cold bed of 

clay, beneath the old wild cherry tree, which for fifty years has bent its friendly boughs over the cold 

immaculate forms of our loved ones. I knew that someday you would have to lay there, too. I knew that I 

would not always visit my old home and find you to greet me, and yet I was not prepared for this sad 

news, and oh, how hard to give you up-all the father that I ever knew-being bereft of my own dear parent 

in my early childhood, and it was you, dear Uncle, and old Grandmother, that took our widowed mother 

and us five little ones to your quiet hearthstone and supplied our many wants until we grew to man and

womanhood, and all we could ever give you in return for your kindness was love and respect. Now, all 

that we can do is to mourn with your bereaved companion and children, who miss you sadly. I hoped to 

meet you again on earth, but God's will be done. I hope we will meet in Heaven. W. A. B., St. Louis, Mo., 

Feb. 9, 1879."

He was listed as age 8 at that time. He is not listed with them in the 1880 census. By 1880 he either had 

moved away (quite reasonable because he would have been of age) or had died.

Note: Sarah and Fountain Higgason (mispelled as Hickerson in the 1870 Census) came to live with this 

Baulch family some time after their father, John W. Higgason, was killed in the Civil War in 1864. Sibling

Sumner County, Microfilm M432, Roll 897, DIstrict 11, Microfilm Page number 280, taken October 28, 

1850 lists a John at age 1. There is no John Balch born 1849-1850 listed in the family bible, but there IS 

Matilda Jane listed as being born in January 1850. It is logical to assume that the census taker made an 

error in listing Jane as John in the 1850 census. 

In the 1880 Census, Jane Lindsay is listed as married with two children but living with her parents, John 

and Sophia Balch. 

In the 1900 Census, Jane Linzy (sic, Lindsey) is listed as widowed and daughter, Fannie, is living with her.

In the 1920 Census, Matilda J. Lindsey is listed as widowed and living with daughter, Fannie, and her 

husband, Edward J. Fuqua. 

The death certificate for Matilda Jane Baulch Lindsey was recorded in 1921 in Sumner County, Tennessee,

Notes for L. WYLIE BRAZZEL, JR.: 

From The Dallas Morning News, January, 6, 1917, page 5: 

"SHOOTS AND WOUNDS WOMAN; KILLS SELF 

----- 

L. W. BRAZZEL DEAD -- MRS. CHAS. BISHOP HIT TWICE. 

----- 

Shooting Takes Place in Bishop's Home in Oak Cliff -- Woman Will Recover. 

----- 

After shooting Mrs. Charles Bishop twice last night, L. W. Brazzel, a laundry employee, turned his 

pistol on himself and sent a bullet through the brain. The shooting took place in a bedroom at Mrs. 

Bishop's residence, 600 North Madison Avenue, in the North Loop section of Oak Cliff. 

Brazzel died almost instantly. Mrs. Bishop was shot though the left breast and left arm. She was taken 

to St. Paul's Sanitarium. She is expected to recover. 

Brazzel met Mrs. Bishop when she got off the car one block from her home as she was coming from 

work at the Union Station, where she is employed by the Union News Company. He shot her almost 

immediately after they entered the house. 

Mrs. Bishop's 14-year-old daughter, Daisy, and Dutch Carroll of New Orleans, LA., an old friend of the 

family, were in the house at the time of the shooting. Daisy met her mother and Brazzel as they entered 

the door. 

"Who is here with you?" Brazzel is said to have asked her. 

"Dutch is here. He is in the kitchen reading the paper." she replied, according to her husband. 

After walking into the bedroom adjoining the reception room, Brazzel opened fire. Mrs. Bishop ran to 

the back bedroom, where Carroll went to her assistance. The last bullet entered the right side of Brazzel's 

head. 

Charles Bishop is a waiter at the Adolpus. He said last night that until two years ago he and his wife were 

friends of Mr. and Mrs. Brazzel and they frequently called at each other's homes. At that time, Brazzel 

threatened to kill Mrs. Bishop unless she went with him, he said. 

Bishop said that his wife told him Thursday that Brazzel was bothering her again. He said that Brazzel 

had phoned Daisy, Mrs. Bishop's daughter, several days ago that he had a box of candy for her downtown, 

but when she got to the place where he said he would leave it, there was none. 

Held Pistol on Her. 

Mrs. Bishop said that she and Brazzel passed several men after getting off the car before they reached 

her home, but that Brazzel held a gun on her and told her that if she opened her mouth he would kill her. 

She said that Davis street, along which they were walking, was very dark and no one else could see the 

revolver. 

Dutch Carroll lived in Dallas until about three months ago, rooming at the Bishop home. He returned 

to Dallas Thursday. Bishop told him yesterday to get something to eat and go on out to the house, he 

said. 

Both Mr. and Mrs. Bishop are 33 years of age. They have been married four years. Daisy was her child 

by her first marriage. 

Funeral arrangements for Brazzel had not been made last night. He was 47 years old and is survived 

by his wife, a son, Victor Brazzel; two daughters, Thelma and Blanche Brazzel, and a brother, Bennie 

Brazzel of Elmo."

USA; d. 07 Oct 1993, Hermitage, Davidson, Tennessee, USA. 

Notes for NELSON HOWARD BAULCH: 

Nelson was raised and schooled in Sumner county, Tennessee. It is recorded in the Stone Family Bible 

that he married Peryle Reynolds on December 22, 1929. Nonetheless, in the April 1930 census of Sumner 

County, he is recorded as living at home with his parents and that he is still single. There is no Peryle (or 

Pearl) Reynolds recorded in the 1930 census in Sumner County. 

He was an instructor and educator in public and private schools almost his entire life. He was a 

schoolmaster at the "Baulch Junior School for Boys" in Park City, Kentucky before becoming an 

agriculture teacher at Gallatin High School, Gallatin, Tennessee. He lived most of his life on the Baulch 

homestead on Portland Road, Gallatin, Tennessee. He was quite active member in civic affairs and the 

Methodist Church. Nelson and his wife, Peryle, visited the Holy Land during the latter years of their life 

together; they always looked fondly upon that trip as an inspirational moment in their spiritual lives. After 

retiring from teaching, he and Peryle lived their remaining years at McKindree Manor, Hermitage, 

Tennessee. Nelson and Peryle had no children. 

At http://www.wdbj.net/~tnknox/schools/utk/1925volunteer/utksenior1925.htm, Nelson is listed in the 

1925 Senior Class at the University of Tennessee. 

For the fiftieth wedding anniversary celebration of Nelson and Peryle, their niece, Sarah Baulch McGinley, 

and her husband, Dr. Jim McGinley, composed and led the singing of two songs. Given that their marriage 

was at Christmas time, it was appropriate that both songs were sung to Christmas melodies. One was to 

the tune of "Wassail, Wassail" and sung by Sarah and Jim, while the other was to the tune of "The Twelve 

Days of Christmas" where everyone joined in. The lyrics were as follows: 

THE GALLATIN COME-SAIL 

Come sail, come sail, we'll travel the world 

Young Nelson had made his offer to fair Peryle. 

She answered him that nite, "Yes, I will be your wife." 

This two became one through their journey of life. 

The first year together found courtship so blissful 

He toasted his bride, his tea cup it was full. 

"Thou not so hard stir, my dear Nelson, sir." 

Twas a wet lesson he learnt: listen to her. 

Schloss Brandon it was cold that day in December 

That year, '29, twas a fine one we remember. 

The family fest well, Andrew Jackson Hotel. 

Ah, they honeymooned there while winter snow fell. 

As Linden professors their duties were well done. 

Her teams ever won; his prize bull, champion. 

In counseling their students, th'advice always well hit. 

No basketball girls ever stepped in cow .... barns. 

The whole world their playground: Miami to Munich 

But settle down they must and a fine spot did pick. 

Having seen the best, from Havana to Nome, 

They returned to Gallatin, there is no place like home. 

Now we mark 50, we all here salute you. 

Your love has brought you through, tis kind, good and true. 

So lend all an ear, there's a lesson just here

Tis God's journey through life, this couple so dear. 

THE FIFTY YEARS OF MARRIAGE 

On the first year of marriage our Nelson gave to Peryle, 

A Farm ridge in Tennessee. 

On the second year of marriage our Nelson gave to Peryle, 

Two brothers Baulch, and a farm ridge in Tennessee.

More About NELSON HOWARD BAULCH: 



Notes for PERYLE REYNOLDS: 

Peryle is first listed in the 1910 Census of Davidson County, Tennessee, living in the Tenneessee Baptist 

Orphan's Home on Delaware Avenue in Nashville. She is accompanied by two older siblings: brother 

Clifton, age 13, and sister, Stella, age 11. 

A woman of varied abilities and skills. A successful teacher and girls' athletic coach. An ardent aide of her 

husband in his work with young people. Much of the ancestral information of the Stone Family came from 

The Holy Bible of Clara Thomas Stone Baulch. This Bible was in the possession of Nelson and Peryle 

Baulch until shortly before her death when it was given to Howard Stone Baulch in 1992. Peryle lived the 

last years of her life in McKindree Manor, Hermitage, Tennessee. At her wake, many Gallatin school 

teachers and former students spoke about her vibrant way with her basketball players and looked fondly 

upon her leadership, especially when they participated in state basketball tournaments.

Notes for ERNEST FRANKLIN BAULCH: 

Ernest was raised and schooled in Tennessee. He attended Middle Tennessee State Teachers College, 

Emory and Henry College, the University of Tennessee, and Vanderbilt University. He received B.S., B.D., 

and M.A. degrees. At http://www.wdbj.net/~tnknox/schools/utk/1926volunteer/utkjuniors1926.htm,

Ernest is listed in the 1926 Junior Class of the University of Tennessee. His B.D. Thesis at the Vanderbilt 

University School of Religion was "Centenary Methodist Institute, a short account of the past and present 

of Centenary Methodist Institute", 1933. 

From the Lincoln County, Tennessee newspaper, August 24, 1944: 

"Social Happenings At Petersburg 

Morgan School 

The fall term of the Morgan School for boys and the Petersburg Grammar School will open Monday, 

September 4. A capacity enrollment is expected at both schools. 

Making up the fall term faculty for the Morgan School are: R. Kenneth Morgan, headmaster; Ernest F. 

Baulch, principal and mathematics; John G. Morgan, coach and social science; Thomas B. Clark, Latin; J. 

T. Johnson, English; J. H. Baulch, mathematics and business; Miss Juanita Rowell, Librarian; Miles 

McMillan, junior school principal; Mrs. Miles McMillan, science; Mrs. E. L. Mitchell, junior school." 

He was founder and head schoolmaster of "Baulch Junior School for Boys" in Park City, Kentucky from 

1946 to 1952. The following excerpt from a Baulch Junior School promotional booklet describes Ernest's 

teaching philosophy: 

"It is quite reasonable that in dealing with boys for twenty years one should have learned some things 

and gained some convictions as to how to deal with boys to make them better - morally, spiritually, 

physically, mentally, and socially. These things because of limited time and space I am just going to jot 

down. Some will seem trite, some trivial, but in my experience of twenty years they have all borne fruit. 

1. I have learned that there is some good in every boy and that good can be reached to such an extent as 

to make that good better and to thereby reduce the bad and increase the good. 

2. I have learned that to be a boy's teacher one must truly be a learner in the group. I learn things I 

never knew from the boys I come to know regularly. No man, save Jesus Christ, can ever know it all; and 

much that is Iearned must come through experience, melIowed with age and kept ever young by 

constant contact with the youth of our land. 

3. I have learned that a beginning teacher relies on theory and his sense of brain judgment, and that a 

seasoned teacher comes to depend on experience and deep seated convictions of his heart. The one 

thinks he knows and the other knows he knows. 

4. I have learned that a boost that lifts a boy's spirit is better than a knock that depresses him. Things 

that to the casual eye seem unimportant are often profoundly important to a boy. Truly then, ridicule is 

not for teachers but wholesome humor is a valuable tool. 

5. I have learned that it is not so much what you get as how you get it. In mathematics answers are so 

frequently a hindrance to learning. 

6. I have learned that it pays to play square with a boy, to be truthful and to call a spade a spade. In so 

doing, I find frankness paves the way for an understood solution of many a difficult problem. 

7. I have learned to trust boys and to believe them. I have seldom been deceived and I know suspicious 

men that are continually deceived. 

8. I have learned that a boy away from home in a school needs a friend and that the teacher that is his 

friend is the one he vvill "work his head off" to please and satisfy. 

9. I have learned that threats belong to a past age and that friendly co-operation gets far better results 

even with small boys. 

10. I have learned that friendly rivalry is helpful and very conducive to learning when brought to play 

even in the classroom. 

11. I have learned that God has made boys different and that no iwo boys can be handled in exactly the 

same way in order to get the best results. 

12. I have learned that many a so-called poor student ws a poor student just because the subiect matter 

had never been put across to him. I have seen dumb boy come to life and be leaders in the class, and yet 

still be the dumb boy in some other class. 

13. I have seen many a mischievous boy, alway in trouble, become a model boy and an "A" student when 

his energy was challenged in some subject and he really became interested in it. 

14. I have learned that the art of teaching can't be secured merely by' attending a teachers college 4, 6 

or even 7years, but that it is more a matter of personality than training. Modern methods sometimes just 

about ruin what might have been a good teacher. 

15. I have learned that better work is often done in some of these "disreputable" one room rural schools, 

as given down the road in certain current magazines than in some demonstration schools hitched on to 

teachers colleges with Ph.D,'s heading each of maybe ten departments. 

16. I have learned that rules mean more when they are few and far between. Trees grow better that way 

too. A school operated with a few rules tends to lead to gentlemanly conduct for the sake of being 

gentlemen. 

17. I have learned that it is better to learn the fundamental subjects well than to Iearn a multiplicity of 

subjects in a superficial, slovenly manner. So much tends to reflect in one's later life. 

18. I have learned that for a boarding school to meet the needs of a small boy it must be a home school 

that really maintains the home atmosphere.

19. I have learned that it pays to listen to a boy talk. Often you can use what he says later on to get 

under his skin ancl inspire him to greater accomplishments. 

20. I have learned that parents are anxious to cooperate when you show them that you are really trying 

to help their boy become a better boy. 

Not to be numbered but of paramount importance and above all others, I have learned that the molding 

of a good character is more important than the instilling of vast knowledge. 

Our slogan gleaned from 20 Years - 'Baulch Builds Better Boys' " 

Ernest was an instructor at Columbia Military Academy in Columbia, Tennessee. He was the 

Superintendent of Caverna Independent School District, Kentucky, and the Director of Summer Head 

Start Program. 

He was a Methodist minister in Petersburg, Tennessee at the Methodist Episcopal Church South. While 

teaching at Morgan Preparatory School, Petersburg, Tennessee and preaching at a rural church, he was 

asked to "fill in" at the Petersburg Presbyterian Church that was without a minister. After several months 

of doing this, the Presbytery said he could not preach regularly there as a Methodist. [See below.] He 

then was accepted and ordained as a Presbyterian minister.Chairman of Inservice Committee. 

In a letter postmarked September 9, 1989 from James H. Baulch (age 74) to Howard S. Baulch: 

"... an 'abbreviated' statement as to the answer Ernest [F. Baulch] gave the Presbytery pertaining to their 

question of his belief in predestination. 

When Ernest went before the Presbyterian council in regard to being accepted as a Presbyterian minister 

since he, as a Methodist minister, was preaching regularly in a Presbyterian church that did not have a 

minister, the matter of his belief in predestination came up. 

His statement to them was that in regard to that question, he would give them two answers and they 

could then make their decision. He told them that he would give them first the answer that they probably 

desired which was the one contained in the Presbyterian doctrine and that his second answer would be 

his own personal belief whereby he did not believe in strict predestination as he did not believe that it 

was pre-destined as to whether or not he would be accepted by the Presbytery but that he believed that 

God had a plan for the world and that ultimately God's plan would succeed. He said that he might have 

received the call to be the minister of that church but that he could refuse the call (someone else would 

have to accept the call). If he was called to be a Presbyterian minister that his refusal to accept the call at 

that time did not mean that God would not make the call to him again. 

Ernest never had, or never gave me, a copy of his written answer nor was it ever written out in any of his 

sermons that I had. He used it at times in sermons I heard and also in some meetings I attended during 

which he elaborated more, however, the main belief is that God's will in an overall viewpoint will be 

accomplished - God may have a job for Jim Baulch to do but Jim Baulch may not do it; so God will find 

someone else to hear his call. 

I know that I got a lot of my beliefs from my brother as I lived with his [family] for a while, worked in a 

boarding school with him, and owned and operated a boy's boarding school with him, and it is hard for 

me to explain my own belief on predestination. I know that God's plan for the world will succeed, but I 

am not that sure that God's plan for Jim Baulch has succeeded. I just pray that one of his alternate plans 

will succeed. There is no way that I can believe in strict predestination when I look at the happenings in 

the world in this century or in any of the past nor can I explain Christ's statement that he lost only the 

one that was so predestined." 

In his later years Ernest was the Sgt. of Arms of the Cave City Civitan Club, Kentucky, and served as the 

City Judge, Park City, Kentucky.

Notes for JAMES HOMER BAULCH: 

The middle name of Homer came from the man who delivered James into this world, Dr. Homer Reese. 

He was raised and schooled in Sumner County, Tennessee and spent his grammar school years at the 

Salem School building where he laughingly claimed he "was the smartest one in the eighth grade ... and 

the only one!" He attended Spartanburg Textile Industrial Institute (l.k.a. Spartanburg Junior College), 

the University of Tennessee, and Bowling Green College of Commerce from which he received his 

bachelor of science degree.

The 1935 yearbook of Spartanburg Textile Industrial Institute, "The Trail Blazer", lists Freshmen in 

attendance. On page 21, it lists "James Baulch, Gallatin, Tenn." 

The 1936 yearbook of Spartanburg Textile Industrial Institute, "The Olympic", lists Sophomores in 

attendance. On page 10, it lists "Jim Baulch, Gallatin, VA (sic), 'What I must do concerns me, not what 

people think.'" 

The 1938 yearbook of Bowling Green College of Commerce, "The Towers", lists the 1938 Seniors in 

attendance. On page 20, it lists "James H. Baulch, B. S., Gallatin, Tennessee, 'Most powerful is he who 

has himself in his own power.'" 

After graduating from college, Jim became an instructor and business manager at Harrison-Stone-Jackson 

Agricultural High School and Junior College (l.k.a. Perkinston Junior College), where he met the student, 

Madie Gibson, who became his wife. 

The record of Jim and Madie's marriage is in the Harrison County, Mississippi court book 50, page 640, 

where it indicates that they were married April 13, 1940 by H. C. Moore, Justice of the Peace. 

He and Madie then traveled to Gallatin, Tennessee to visit his family, and they moved to Charlotte, North 

Carolina where he was a bookkeeper and instructor for Carolina Business College. At that time they lived 

at 410 West 8th in Charlotte. It was there that they started their family; Barbara Anne Baulch was born 

June 20, 1941. They later moved to 310 West 10th, Apt. 7 in Charlotte about 1943. 

In 1944 Jim became a teacher at Morgan Preparatory School From the Lincoln County, Tennessee 

newspaper, August 24, 1944: 

"Social Happenings At Petersburg 

Morgan School 

The fall term of the Morgan School for boys and the Petersburg Grammar School will open Monday, 

September 4. A capacity enrollment is expected at both schools. 

Making up the fall term faculty for the Morgan School are: R. Kenneth Morgan, headmaster; Ernest F. 

Baulch, principal and mathematics; John G. Morgan, coach and social science; Thomas B. Clark, Latin; J. 

T. Johnson, English; J. H. Baulch, mathematics and business; Miss Juanita Rowell, Librarian; Miles 

McMillan, junior school principal; Mrs. Miles McMillan, science; Mrs. E. L. Mitchell, junior school." 

Jim then moved the family to Lewisburg, Tennessee where he worked as a hospital administrator. Soon 

another career opportunity summoned him to Glasgow, Kentucky where he worked in hospital 

administration at T. J. Samson Community Hospital. 

In 1946 he joined his brother, Ernest, as schoolmaster at "Baulch Junior School for Boys" in Park City, 

Kentucky. Together they and their wives (Ernest, Nelle, Jim and Madie) were the teachers of all subjects 

required for the private school for boys. BJS records show pupils came from across the United States as 

well as abroad to enjoy a disciplined and well rounded education. While at Baulch Junior School, the 

Baulch family expanded with the birth of Sarah Lee Baulch on August 26, 1948 in Glasgow (the nearest 

hospital to Park City). 

Realizing that the private school did bring enough income to support two families, Jim and family moved 

to Hopkinsville, Kentucky in 1950 where he was Business Manager for Hopkinsville Lincoln-Mercury and 

bookkeeper for Hopkinsville Auto Parts until 1958. He was then recruited by Oak Motors of Nashville, 

Tennessee to be their Assistant Business Manager. In 1959 he was recruited by Jim Burke Buick of 

Birmingham, Alabama to be Business Manager of the largest Buick dealership in Alabama. In 1964 he 

followed his doctor's advice to find a less stressful job and moved to Slidell, Louisiana to be Business 

Manager and part owner of John Brown Olds (later Tom Brown Olds-Buick, Del Williams Motors, and Bill 

Ward Motors), Slidell, Louisiana until his retirement in 1986 (excepting for a brief return to Birmingham, 

Alabama to help out Jim Burke Buick in 1971). 

James Baulch was received into membership of the Salem Methodist Church, north of Gallatin, Sumner 

County, Tennessee in October 1929 by his brother, Rev. Ernest F. Baulch. He remained an active member 

of the United Methodist Church his entire life, holding numerous positions on its boards and committees 

and taught an Adult Sunday School Class for over 30 years. He was an ardent believer in maintaining a 

healthy body, engaging in a variety of exercise programs, particularly those centered around running. He 

won numerous awards for finishing top in his age group for 10K and 5K runs through age 76. Having 

been raised on a farm, the "farmer blood" never left him. He maintained a vegetable garden wherever he 

lived and helped his children establish ones for themselves. 

Largely due to his active life style, he looked and acted younger than his years. He was admired and

espected by his friends and family for his physical, mental, and spiritual strength. He was the epitome of 

reliability: if he promised he would do something, he did it as committed and did it well. While quite 

introverted, he was a friend to anyone who needed him, often selflessly sacrificing himself in support of 

others. Friends and family knew they could count on him. 

He and his wife, Madie, lived a beautiful fifty-two years together. They were always committed to each 

other, to their family, to their church, and to their friends. They were both victims of a tragic car accident 

(being hit broadside by a one-ton truck that ran through an inoperative red light) in May 1992 and were 

hospitalized for over a month. With two brain hemorrhages and numerous broken bones, recovery was 

slow and physical therapy was difficult. Six months later, a massive stroke put Jim in a deep, irreversible 

coma. With no hope of a functional life, his family followed his often repeated request if such an occasion 

arose. He was taken home and removed from life support systems. He died on November 24, 1992, two 

days before Thanksgiving. It was as he would have liked it: he was at home in his own bed, kept warm 

by the quilt made by his mother that had been a wedding gift to Madie and him, and surrounded by his 

family. Madie, all three children, and all their spouses were there, singing hymns from the United 

Methodist Hymnal. It was during his son Howard's singing of "How Great Thou Art" that he breathed his 

last breath here on earth. His son-in-law, Floyd Duvall, fittingly read the Twenty-Third Psalm as he joined 

the angels in heaven. 

Originally, Jim was placed in a mausoleum in Forest Lawn Cemetery, Slidell, Louisiana. After Madie 

moved to Franklin, Tennessee in September 1997, he was moved to his final burial place in Woodlawn 

Memorial Park in Nashville, Tennessee, near his parents and his brother, Nelson Howard Baulch.

Notes for MADIE GIBSON: 

Madie was given the name Mae Belle at birth, but her sister, Mittie Ruth, could never pronounce it right 

and called her Madie (with a long A). Eventually she legally changed her name to Madie and dropped any 

reference to Mae Belle. She was raised in Bond, Mississippi and attended Harrison-Stone-Jackson 

Agricultural High School and Junior College (later known as Perkinston Junior College). 

The following is her wedding announcement contained in a local newspaper: 

"Mr. Abner Gibson announces the marriage of his daughter Miss Madie Gibson to Mr. James H. Baulch, 

son of Mr. G. N. Baulch of Gallatin, Tenn. The groom is a graduate of Bowling Green Commercial Law 

School of Bowling Green, Kentucky and has been bookkeeping instructor and business manager at 

Perkinston Junior Colege (sic) for two years when he resigned to take a position in Tennessee. The bride 

is a graduate of Perkinston High School. The young couple left as soon as his work was completed at the 

Junior College. They will be at his home in Gallatin, Tenn." 

Madie was an accomplished seamstress, making clothes for her children and thirteen grandchildren. She 

was an active member of the United Methodist Church, having held numerous positions on church boards 

and committees. One of her greatest gifts is her contributions to the Altar Guild and, more directly, the 

talent she has with the flower arrangements for the church services. When Jim entered semi-retirement, 

they enjoyed travels to West Germany, Austria, England, Canada, and Brazil. Life was difficult for Madie 

after Jim died in November 1992. In September 1997 she moved from Slidell, Louisiana to Morningside 

Assisted Living at 105 Sunrise Circle in Franklin, Tennessee. As her health deteriorated, she spent time in 

NHC Place of Franklin and then moved to Southern Care at 3595 Carothers Parkway in Franklin in 2007. 

In 2008 she moved to Claiborne Hughes Health Center located at 200 Strahl Street in Franklin. It was 

there that she had a major stroke on Friday, July 3, 2009. The children were summoned, and one or 

more of them was usually at her bedside until her death on Thursday, July 9. On the day of her death she 

was sung to and comforted by her daughters Sarah and Barbara, her son Howard, her son-in-law Floyd, 

and her daughter-in-law Sally. Her son-in-law Jim came as soon as possible as her breathing became 

labored, but he was unable to arrive before her death.
