Please use this corrected version - my spell check missed a typo.. sorry about that.

He was a graduate of the Boonville Schools and the University of Missouri, he taught school in Boonville for several years, and at the time of his death, he was the manager of the MFA at Fulton, Mo. He was a life long member of the Baptist Church where funeral services were held with Dr. Fred Niger, Rev. Mel Lantz, Rev. Walter Cox and Rev. Frank Kirkland officiating.

Mary- When the Balkenbusch family went beyond Anton somebody dropped the 'c' from the last name and subsequently there were/are a bunch out there lacking the 'c' in Balkenbusch. Though I am not one to pass judgment I think it's more stately with the 'c' retained- but, it is a long last name subject to all kinds of confusion!
