  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.

  Notes	WEDDING A very pretty wedding was solemnised at the Waitahuna Presbyterian Church on Tuesday, April 15, when Miss Eva M. Bateman, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs J. H. Bateman, of "Braemore," Waitahuna, was married to Mr James T. Smith, of Waitahuna. The church was tastefully decorated for the occasion by girl friends of the bride. The Rev. H. Hogg officiated at the ceremony, and Miss Muriel Noble presided at the organ. The bride, who was given away by her father, looked charming in a gown of cream crepe de chine, effectively trimmed with pearls and lace. She wore the customary veil, arranged with spray of orange blossom, and carried a pretty bouquet of white carnations, lilies, and maiden-hair fern. The bridesmaid, Miss Vera L. Bateman, wore a dainty frock of rose pink crepe de chine with head trimmings and black picture hat, and carried a floral bouquet. After the ceremony, a reception was held in Cavmody's Hall, where these guests were entertained by Mr and Mrs Bateman. The bridegroom was attended by Mr Alex. McLachlan as best man. Later Mr and Mrs Smith left for the north, the bride travelling in a navy blue serge costume, trimmed with henna braiding and a hat to match. The young couple's future address will be Waitahuna.
