• Notes

  He was called ‘Willie’ in Gordon Allison’s version of the family tree. It’s not clear whether this was an error. AD Dr. Balcom seems to have been a clever young doctor who had to work under primitive conditions, sometimes relying on his wife for help. They moved to the western USA looking perhaps for better opportunities but he became an alcoholic and then a drug addict, and died early (Aunt Ruth). He was practicing as physician and surgeon at Addington, Restigouche, NB in 1881. Graduated from University Medical College, New York University., 1875. He was Mott silver medallist.
