  Notes	EARLY DAYS TO THE EDITOR SIR, - A reference by Mr E. Godfred, an early-day resident of Port Chalmers to having shipped on the Wild Deer has revived memories of my landing at Port Chalmers in - I think - the year 1883. The ship Wellington brought out a large number of emigrants. We left Greenock about the same time as the Wild Deer, and there was some speculation as to which would get to New Zealand first. We had a protracted voyage which extended to well over 100 days. I was nine years old at the time, and there were a number of children on board. My late father acted as schoolmaster on the voyage. When Fort Chalmers was reached there was great excitement. We watched the tug puffing down the harbour to pull us into the wharf. We children were all agog, and when the pilot climbed up over the side the first news given out was that the Wild Deer had been wrecked. I could not understand at the time why some of the passengers wept on hearing this, but later I learned that they had friends on board that ship. By last mail I received letters from Home that were posted on August 1. If they had taken as long to come to New Zealand as the ship Wellington took at the time of which I write they would not have been delivered until some time in October. I am etc., A. E. Bateman.

  Notes	BIOGRAPHY. Annie Logan Redpath was born in 1871 at Glenledi near Milton, Otago. She attended Waitahuna and Mount Stuart schools. In 1894 Annie married John Henry Bateman (known as Jack), at her mother's home at Mount Stuart, Otago. Annie and Jack had both been working in Waitahuna - Annie as a domestic servant and Jack on his grandfather's farm. John Henry Bateman was born on 19 July 1867, in Bampton in Oxfordshire, England. He was the eldest child of Thomas Henry Bateman and Elizabeth Edwards. The family left England at the end of 1882 on the Wellington and arrived in Port Chalmers on 12 March 1883. The family lived at Fairfiew Farm at Mount Stuart, but Jack, who was fifteen, went to live with his mother's parents John and Louise Edwards. Jack's grandfather was managing a farm at Glenledi near the coast from Milton. He worked there for several years then returned to Waitahuna when his grandfather bought the property known as 'Paddy's Point'. The couple lived at 'Paddy's Point' with Jack's grandfather Edwards until his death ten years later. By this time Annie and Jack had seven children and Jack was working for Otago Farmer's Agency. When John Edwards died the farm was sold and Jack and Annie moved to Waitahuna. Jack died on 20 March 1925 in Waitahuna and is buried at Waitahuna. Annie died 21 January 1949 at Waitahuna and is buried with Jack (and his parents) in Waitahuna cemetery. The following obituary appeared on page 31 of the Otago Witness on 31 March 1925. Obituary Mr J H Bateman died last Friday after a short illness, aged fifty-seven years. Mr Bateman was a public man and a very great favourite with all he came in contact with. His loss will be greatly felt in Waitahuna. Mr Bateman leaves a wife and five sons and three daughters to mourn his loss. The funeral on Monday was the largest seen in Waitahuna for very many years.

  OBITUARY. MR J. H. BATEMAN. Mr J. H. Bateman, of Waitahuna, whose death occurred on Friday morning last, was laid aside for some months two years ago, but for the past 13 months had been partially attending to his duties for his employers, the Otago Farmers' Co-operative Association (Ltd.). Born at Brampton, Oxfordshire, in 1863, he received his education at the primary and later the local high school and there was apprenticed to the drapery trade for a short period prior to sailing for New Zealand with his parents in 1865. They proceeded to Waitahuna immediately upon arrival at Port Chalmers. Mr Bateman followed the occupation of a shepherd and drover for some years, being engaged in the former capacity on several estates at Glenledi, near Milton, at Teviot Station, at Spylaw, and others. Ultimately he settled down at Waitahuna, taking up a farm at Paddy's Point. He was married to a daughter of Thomas and Ann Redpath, of Mount Stuart, and she survives him with a family of five sons and three daughters. Some 18 years ago Mr Bateman joined the staff of the Otago Farmers' Association as local agent, and later was appointed one of the firm's auctioneers, relinquishing that position some two years ago to take up his old place as agent for the firm at Waitahuna. Of a genial and cheery disposition, and ever ready to lend a helping hand, he won the esteem and goodwill of all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. He was a prominent member of the Farmers' Club, and was president for a term. Of strict business integrity, his services and advice in a private capacity were often in demand. The funeral took place on Monday, and was one of the largest seen here for many years. Tho Rev. H. Hogg officiated at the house and graveside. Among those present were Mr F. Freeman, Mr Jasper Clark, Mr J. Couchman, Messrs Cameron, Kettle, and Cannon, Messrs J. Smith (Tapanui), A. F. Low (Middlemarch), Wm. McLachlan (Clinton), C. Leith (Mosgiel), A. McLachlan (Milton), J. Lockhart (Moneymorel, C. and H. Duff and S. A. Dumbleton (Tapanui), J. S. Blackie (Mosgiel), and Geo. Simpson (Dunedin).
