Well Known Citizen Passes Away. William S. Bateman, one of the oldest and best
known citizens of this community, died Saturday at his home in West Shoals. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon and interment was made in the cemetery at
Waggoner's Chapel, Lost River township. Mr. Bateman was born in Lost River township, February 7, 1844, and spent almost his entire life in that township
until he moved to Shoals for residence a few years ago. He spent three years as a soldier in the Civil War and after receiving his discharge from the army, he was married to Miss Louisa Abel of this county, January 6, 1866. To their union were born three children, two of whom have departed this life. A son, George F.
Bateman, of Odon, Indiana, survives. Mrs. Bateman died about 1871. On January 18, 1872, Mr. Bateman was united in marriage with Julia Johnson, and to their union eight children were born—John Willie, Malinda, and Tilman, who passed away in infancy, and William Lenze, who departed this life August 9, 1908. The widow and four children survive. The children are Alexander Bateman, of Hope,
Arkansas; Dexter Bateman, of Vincennes, Indiana; Willard O. Bateman, of Washington, Indiana, and Mrs. McClelland Jones, who with her husband and children had resided with her parents during her father's illness. Mr. Bateman
also leaves three half brothers — George Fox, of Dexter, Missouri; James Fox, of Knox county, and Tilman Fox, of Daviess county. Twenty-five grandchildren and
three great grandchildren also survive him. The deceased was baptised and united with the Baptist church in 1893, remaining a true and devoted christian until
death. "Uncle Bill" as he was called by almost all his friends in Martin county, especially in Lost River township where he spent the greatest part of his life,
always had a warm feeling for all who were trying to do right and was a friend to everyone. He will be sadly missed by his family and friends. Pallbearers at
the funeral were George F. and Edgar Bateman, of Washington; Dexter and Delbert Jackman, of Vincennes; William Jones and William Fox, of Shoals.
