    • 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 wedding of much interest was celebrated at the Waitahuna Presbyterian Church on April 30, when Miss Caroline V. Crane, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs Jos. Crane, of "Fairview," Waitahuna, was married to Mr Allan R. Bateman, third son of Mr and Mrs J. H. Bateman, of Waitahuna. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. H. Hogg, and Miss Muriel Noble presided at the organ. The church was beautifully decorated with autumn foliage and flowers by the girl friends of the bride. The bride entered the church on the arm of her father, and wore a beautiful frock of ivory satin charmont, effectively beaded, and with it a veil of finest net relieved with orange blossom. She carried a beautiful bouquet comprising white chrysanthemums, carnations, and maidenhair fern. She was attended by her sister, Miss Hazel Crane, who wore a pretty frock of pale green brocade taffeta, shot with gold, and hat to match. Two little maids, Vonna Crane and Mavis Cameron, attended as flower girls, and looked very dainty in frocks of lemon crepe-de-chine, with large tulle bows on the hair. They carried baskets of flowers. The bridegroom was attended by his brother, Mr Bert Bateman, as best man. The wedding breakfast was served at the residence of the bride's parents, when the usual toasts were duly honoured and congratulatory telegrams read. The young couple were the recipients of many beautiful and useful presents, including a number of cheques. The bride's travelling frock was of nigger brown face cloth, trimmed with fur and Oriental cloth and panne velvet hat to match. Mr and Mrs Bateman departed on their honeymoon amidst showers of confetti and the best wishes of their friends. Their future home will be at Clinton.
