Obituary:
The Pulaski Citizen 02 Jan 1902
Mrs. Mary Rivers Batte, wife of Dr. William Batte, died suddenly Saturday at noon of heart failure caused by dropsy. She had been lying down, and expressing a desire to sit up a while, was being assisted by the nurse to a chair by the fire place, when she suddenly sank down and expired. She had been a semi-invalid for a number of years.
The news of Mrs. Batte's death was received with general regret, for although her physical infirmities prevented her from being about a great deal, nevertheless she was much beloved by many friends, and being warm hearted, she never lost an opportunity to do an act of kindness or charity, many of which she has to her credit.
Mrs. Batte was a sister of the late William C. Rivers and Mrs. B. F. Carter, deceased, and an aunt of Flournoy Rivers. No children survive her.
Funeral services conducted by Rev. Granville Allison were held at the Memorial Church of the Messiah Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, followed by the burial at Maplewood Cemetery.
To her husband, who has been all that a husband should be throughout the period of their companionship, and other relatives the Citizen extends sympathy.
