Balfour, John Hutton (1808-1884), botanist, was born in Edinburgh on 15 September 1808, the eldest son of Andrew Balfour, an army surgeon who later settled in that city as a printer and publisher, and Magdalene, daughter of the Revd George Goldie, an Edinburgh minister. James Hutton the geologist was a first cousin of his grandfather. Balfour was a brilliant student and was able to resist his mother's determination that he follow her father into the church. After a thorough grounding in classics at Edinburgh high school and Edinburgh University, he was initially sent at sixteen to study theology at St Andrews, but he had acquired his
father's fondness for botany and both he and his teachers there saw he was better suited to a medical career. His parents reluctantly permitted him to attend Professor Robert Graham's botany class at Edinburgh, on the condition that he completed his divinity studies. In 1827 they finally gave way, and Balfour was apprenticed to the professor of military surgery, Sir George Ballingall, apparently with the aim of following his father into that branch of the subject. He graduated MD in 1832 and, after qualifying MRCS and FRCS Edinburgh, extended his surgical studies in Paris before returning to Edinburgh in 1834 to take up private practice. The next year he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, of which he was later to be an active secretary for more than ten years.
Botany now increasingly took over. In 1836 the Botanical Society of Edinburgh, the first specialist body in that subject in Britain of national standing, had its inaugural meeting in Balfour's house, and in 1838 he was equally to the fore in the founding of the Edinburgh Botanical Club. In 1840 he began lecturing on botany in the Edinburgh Extra Academical School of Medicine, and equipped by that he successfully competed the next year for the chair at Glasgow University vacated by Sir William Hooker, which at last enabled him to give up medical practice. His Glasgow stay, however, proved brief, for in 1845, on the death of Graham, he returned to Edinburgh as professor of medicine and botany, regius keeper of the Royal Botanic Garden, and queen's botanist for Scotland. Soon after, with his future now on a settled course, he married Marion Spottiswood Bayley, the daughter of Isaac Bayley, a writer to the signet. Among their children was the botanist Sir Isaac Bayley Balfour.
Though Balfour served the Edinburgh medical faculty as dean for nearly thirty years, he took no regular part in the clinical teaching and was otherwise free to devote all his considerable energies to botany. His induction into botany occurred before microscopical work had been largely developed, and before the advent of later concerns with plant morphology and physiology, so he was, almost of necessity, for the most part a systematist. His original work was not extensive and it was as a teacher and writer of textbooks that he was distinguished academically.
His teaching was painstaking and conscientious, earnest and impressive, and characterized by a wealth of illustration and a gift for imparting his own enthusiasm. That enthusiasm was most of all in evidence in the lively tradition of Saturday student excursions that Balfour inherited from his predecessor. On the longer of these trips, undeterred by the frequently rough going and primitive conditions, leading botanical ‘outsiders’ would often join the party, augmenting with taxonomic expertise the professor's discourses on the local vegetation and geological features. No one was more tireless than the wiry Balfour, his geniality contagious, his jokes and puns keeping everyone in good spirits as they toiled up some long ascent. Not for nothing was he known to generations of students by the nickname ‘Woody Fibre’. On one occasion, in the Isle of Arran, the party became lost in the hills in deep mist, and in the account subsequently published by him of that shaking experience the deeply religious strain in his character is strikingly apparent. He resembled an Old Testament prophet in appearance, and his youthful immersion in theology had left its mark so that the intricacy of nature was always for him indubitable testimony to a great designing mind. Among the many books he wrote were several linking botany with religion, one of them, Phyto-Theology (1851), winning a wide enough readership to achieve a third edition.
Amid all this activity the Royal Botanic Garden was in no way neglected. Under Balfour's care and in co-operation with the successive principal gardeners, the very able McNabs, father and son, the garden was much enlarged and improved, and a fine new palm house, an arboretum, a good museum, and excellent teaching accommodation provided. Latterly as many as 354 students a year were attending Balfour's botanical lectures there. A final accomplishment was the construction and planting of the great rock-garden.
Severe illness brought about Balfour's retirement in 1879, when each of the three universities with which he had been connected marked the occasion by conferring on him an honorary LLD. He had been elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1856, and was also a member of a wide range of other scientific bodies. He died at Inverleith House, Edinburgh, on 11 February 1884. He is commemorated in the genus alfourodendron; two British plants long bore his name as well, but Poa balfourii, a grass which he collected on Ben Voirlich in 1842, is now considered a
mere variant of a more widespread species, and Rubus balfourianus, a name given in his honour by Babington to a blackberry, after a century disappeared into synonymy.

The cause of her death was Consumption.

General Notes: in an e-Mail received from Lesley Wood in December 2021, she stated as follows:
Here's a bit more about Sophia (this is adapted from a my very lengthy chapter on Rev. Thomas Wood in the family history I've been writing for, oh, 10 or more years now!):
Left with three young children after the death of his first wife, the Rev. Thomas Wood married again in April 1849. His second wife was Sophia Goldie (b 1823), the daughter of Lieutenant-Colonel and military auditor-general Andrew Goldie of the East India Company and his wife, Meerium. Sophia came from a large family - so far, six sisters and two brothers have been identified - but two of the girls died young. All were schooled in England, with Sophia attending the same school as several of her cousins, including Isabelle Goldie Murray, who became Thomas's third wife.
Sophia and Thomas added three children to the family: Andrew Goldie (b 1850); Edith Ramsay (born in 1854) and Reginald (born in 1857). Another daughter, Ellen Urquhart, was born in 1855 but died in 1857 of dysentery.
Tragedies mounted for the family in 1857. An article published after Thomas's death mentions that the family, stationed in Fort William (in Calcutta) during the Sepoy Revolt (1857-1859), housed a number of refugees. It doesn't mention the huge price the Revolt exacted on Sophia - her parents and her sisters Mary, Ellen and Emily were all killed in July 1857. One can only imagine the mix of emotions Thomas and Sophia would have felt in leaving India and bringing their family back to England around 1860. They settled in the Wood family home in Sandwich, Kent.
However, the stress was too much for Sophia. She died of tuberculosis and "exhaustion" on April 12, 1862, in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, with Thomas by her side. Her sister Charlotte and husband Frederic Urquhart were living in Cheltenham at the time. Sophia is buried there (photo of marker attached).
A few more notes. I don't think I will ever forgive Thomas for the epitaph he chose -- it is hard to make out on the photo, but it is: "God be merciful to me a sinner"! Yes, a good old Church of England sentiment, but for such a young woman who'd suffered so much? Really, Thomas??
Sophia's death saved her from more suffering as it turned out. Son Andrew Goldie Wood died in 1874 when in his early 20s. He's accompanied the new Bishop of Barbados down to the bishop's see and died shortly after arriving. Not sure how. Andrew had been a brilliant scholar at Oxford and a book of his poetry was published some years after his death (I managed to track down a copy for myself).
Son Reginald, newly accepted to Oxford, died of TB aged 18, in 1875, before he could begin his studies. He is buried in Sandwich, Kent. Grave no longer marked.
Daughter Edith never married and remained with her father and Isabelle all her life. After her father's death in 1894, she and Isabelle continued to live together and the two died within a few weeks of each other, both of strokes, in 1912, while visiting Goldie relatives in Southampton.

Sophia married Rev. Thomas WOOD MA [87879], son of James WOOD [87889] and Susanna FOWLE [87890], in 1849 in India. Thomas was born on Jul 16, 1815 in Sandwich Kent England, died on Feb 5, 1894 in Northbourne Kent England at age 78, and was buried in 1894 in St Augustine's Northbourne Kent England.

General Notes: The WebSite Northbourne Sources states:

DEATH OF THE RECTOR OF NORTHBOURNE

The quiet little village of Northbourne has been thrown into mourning by the death of the highly esteemed Rector (Rev. Thos. Wood), which took place at the Rectory early on Monday morning. The late reverend gentleman has been in failing health for some years past. About four years ago a cataract formed in his eye and he underwent a very successful operation by Dr. Critchet. It has been evident to his relatives and the parishioners of late that he was suffering from creeping paralysis. His vitality was encouraging almost to the last, but his limbs appeared to get weaker and more feeble each day. Meeting his faithful old Churchwarden (Mr. Wyborn) while walking in the village last autumn, he remarked to him. "I am all right; it is only my legs," though he is known to have expressed to his son soon afterwards that he was going down hill, but had had a good innings, and must not grumble. A little later he was unable to walk at all, and had to be carried from one room to another, and although those around him saw but little change, it was evident to others who did not visit him so frequently that he was failing rapidly. It was not until the end of last week that he entirely kept to his bed, and he passed peacefully away at five o'clock on Monday morning. In reply to a question two hours before his death, he said he was not in any pain.

The Rev. Thomas was born in the year 1815 [1], at Sandwich, in the old house [2] in Strand-street, at which Queen Elizabeth is said to have taken up her abode during her visit to that town, and the property has remained in the hands of the family to the present day. Educated at Chatham House School, Ramsgate, he took the degree of M.A. at St. John's College, Cambs., about the year 1835. On his Ordination he was appointed Curate of Winchnore, Gloucestershire, and subsequently held a curacy at Cranbrook, near Staplehurst.[3] From 1841 to 1860 he was a Military Chaplain in India, serving under the East India Company, and subsequently under the Imperial Government. He was stationed at Dinapore[4], Dumdum, and Fort William, Calcutta, being at the latter throughout the Indian Mutiny[5], and receiving as many refugees into his house as possible.

During the first year or so after his return to England he stayed in various parts of the country, and on settling down, became curate of Eythorne, where he remained some six years, till the death of the Rector (Rev. Mr. Fairbrace).[6] He was then appointed Curate of Northbourne, under the late Rev. S. Cook, whom he succeeded in the living, which he has held for 17 years. He resided at Sandwich while holding the Eythorne and Northbourne Curacies, and used to walk to his Church every Sunday. He also held the Chaplaincy of Sandwich Gaol until that establishment was abolished.[7] During his residence at Northbourne the late Rector has thoroughly endeared himself to the parishioners, and through his influence many improvements to the Church have been carried out. The new seating, new vestry, new south porch, nave paving, have all been carried out since his appointment to the living, besides the handsome little organ which, built by Mr. F.H. Browne, of Deal, at a cost of some £250, was only opened in August last.

The deceased gentleman has, like many other country clergymen, felt the agricultural depression of recent years, and when his church officers have been inclined to doubt whether they would ever raise sufficient funds to carry out this or that necessary renovation or improvement, or perhaps to purchase the much-needed organ, he has encouraged them with the words, "Have faith; have patience." At the last Eastry Vestry a special vote of thanks was passed to the Rector for his services to the Church, it being stated that nearly £900 has been spent upon the fabric during his occupancy of the living. In his Churchwarden (Mr. Wyborn), whom he found and left in office, he had great support, and we know that of late years Mr. Wyborn has carried out many little improvements at his own expense, rather than trouble the Rector with them in his affliction.

The funeral arrangements were in the hands of Mr. G.A. Wanstall, undertaker, of Northbourne, and were conducted throughout with careful regard to every detail. The coffin was of 1½ inch polished oak, with moulded plinth and lippin, and massive brass handles; a solid brass cross extended over the whole length and width of the lid, and at the foot of the cross was a stepped pedestal, forming the plate, on which was engraved the following inscription: -

Rev. Thomas Wood,
Died 5th February, 1894,
Aged 78 years.

THE FUNERAL

The funeral took place in the churchyard of the village at three o'clock yesterday (Friday) afternoon. The weather was exceedingly rough, although rain kept off, but the church was entirely filled with a most sympathetic congregation. There was scarcely a villager who was not present, while a very large number of friends came in from the surrounding district. The funeral cortège was met at the gate by the following clergy: - Revs. Canon Bliss, Canon Nisbet, Revs. T. LI. Griffith, F.B. Blogg, - Lake, - Villiers, W. Flower, A.M. Chichester, J.H. Champion McGill, H. Venn, F. Savage, F.D. Hodgson, F.W. Hodgson, W. Lindsay, W. Hamilton, - Simmons, - Butler, J. Jacquet, - Adams, and - Maughan. The prefatory sentences were read by the curate (Rev. Mr. Lake). The mourners were Mrs. Wood (the widow), and Mr. T.P. Wood,[8] Dr. Hilton and Mrs. Livesey,[9] Rev. Edward Wood (nephew),[10] and Mrs. Hilton, Mr. James Wood (nephew), and Mrs. T.P. Wood; the servants from the Rectory and the gardener and his family following. Among the congregation were Lord Northbourne, Dr. Roberts, and friends from Sandwich and all parts of the district. The service was choral, Mr. Jolliffe presiding at the organ. Canon Bliss and Canon Nisbet conducted the service, the hymns being Nos. 297 and 401 (A. and M.), while the service was deeply impressive throughout. Canon Bliss conducted the interment service.

There were wreaths from the fourteen grandchildren (Helen, Mary, Hilda, Ruth, Naomi, Frank, Jean, and Allan Livesey, and Mary, Percy, Arthur, Margaret, Harry, and Frank Wood), "The Mother's Meeting," the Churchwardens (Messrs. H. Wyborn and G. W. Frank), Rev. H.P. and Miss Lake, Miss Kidder, Capt. and Mrs. Voules, Mr. and Mrs. Hammond and Miss Chalk, Mrs. and Miss Kathleen Ranken, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, Miss Daisy Stevens, Mrs. Pritchard and Mr. and Mrs. D. Pritchard, Mr. and Mrs. R. Marsh, servants of Northbourne Rectory (Hannah, Fannie, and Lizzie ),[11] Mrs. Davison and family, Mrs. J. Worthington Bliss, teachers and scholars of Northbourne School, Mr. Job Clark (gardener) and Mrs. Clark and daughters, Miss U. Seeley, Mr. Mrs. and Miss Turner, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Wood, and Mr. and Mrs. Walter Green; crosses from Mrs. F.H. Solley, Mrs. Hannam, Mrs. and Miss Lancaster Lucas, "surviving daughters and son," Mr. and Mrs. T.M. Fuller and family, Miss Daisy Stevens, and Mrs. and Miss J. Branfill Harrison; flowers from Misses Elsie and Marjorie Deane.


'Deal Walmer and Sandwich Mercury' 13 July 1895
DEDICATION OF THE LYCH-GATE AT NORTHBOURNE
The old churchyard at Northbourne, with its picturesque surroundings, was the scene of a very interesting ceremony on Thursday evening, when the massive oak Lych-gate, which had been erected by the parishioners and friends in memory of the late Rector, the Rev. Thomas Wood, was dedicated by the Right Rev. the Bishop of Dover [Dr Eden]. The new structure is built of solid English oak, weighing as much as four tons, and does the utmost credit to the workmanship of Mr. G.A. Wanstall, builder and undertaker, of Northbourne, the design being by Mr. Harrisson, of London. A bronze plaque on one of the supports bears the inscription "In memory - Thomas Wood, Rector - 1877-1894." The Lych-gate was erected at a cost of about £100, of which a small balance still remains to be made up, while the collection taken at the dedication service was about £5. The amount has been almost entirely subscribed in the village, and there is not a single parishioner, from Lord Northbourne down to the humblest cottager, who has not contributed something, a fact which indicates that the late rector was held in the highest esteem, and that his memory will ever remain dear to those amongst whom he laboured for seventeen years. The chairman in connection with the fund was Mr. R. Turner, the Treasurer, Mr. May Inge, and the Secretary, Mr. Jolliffe.
The service commenced at six-o'clock, by which time the church was crowded. The opening hymn was "Jerusalem my happy home." The service was conducted by the Rector, the Rev. G. Litting. The first lesson was read by the Rev. Canon Flower (Worth), and the second lesson by the Rev. D. Bruce Payne (Vicar of St. George's, Deal). Other Clergy present were the Rev. J.H. Champion McGill (Rector of St. Andrew's, Deal), Rev. F.B. Blogg (Rector of Mongeham), Rev. H.N. Bernard (Rector of Ripple), and Rev. F.B. Villiers (Curate of Eastry). Psalms appropriate to the occasion were sung, and while the hymn "The Church's one foundation" was being sung, the clergy proceeded down the church and through the west entrance to the Lych-gate, the Bishop of Dover leading the way. This portion of the ceremony presented a most impressive scene. The Bishop stood in the gateway, supported by the clergy, and the congregation, among whom were Lord and Lady Northbourne..........
