Noted Educator Succumbs to Heart Disease at His Home in Galesburg, Ill
------------------------------------
Galesburg, Ill., Oct. 21 1897 [Special.]--Dr. Newton Bateman died this evening of angina pectoris. He had suffered 10 or 12 yrs... one of the most noted educators of the west. Announcement made tonight to the Illinois Presbyterian Synod; resolutions of condolence were passed.
Dr. Bateman was born in Cumberland Co, NJ, July 27, 1822... came to Illinois 1833. Inspired by anniversary exercises he heard at Illinois College, he resolved, despite poverty, to enter college, did so in 1839, having but $2.50. His weekly expenses were 45 cents. Graduating in 1843, he opened a private school in St. Louis in 1845. In 1847 he was chosen professor of mathematics in St. Charles Col., MO; 1851... elected principal of the Jacksonville schools; 1854 assisted organization of State Teachers' assoc.; 1858 one of the founders of the Illinois Teacher and its editor.
That year he was elected principal of the Jacksonville Female Academy and assisted in founding the State Normal Univ. He was elected State Superintendent of Public Instruction, was nominated 7 times and elected 5 times by large pluralities. In 1860 he began the series of reports on which rests his fame as an educator. He was elected Pres. of Knox Col. in 1874 and served until three years ago, since which time he has been President emeritus and professor of mental and moral philosophy. In addition he has lately been engaged as editor in a history of Illinois. His wife died here in 1877. He leaves two daughters, Mrs. Wiley K. Wright and Mrs. Rev. J. Y. Ewart of Pittsburg, Kas. Dr. Bateman was a warm personal friend of Abraham Lincoln.
