  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 McLACHLAN - BATEMAN A wedding of considerable interest was solemnised in the Waitahuna Presbyterian Church on October 8, when the Rev. E. E. Andrews united in the bonds of matrimony Vera Logan, youngest daughter of Mrs and the late J. H. Bateman, of Waitahuna, to Alexander Miller McLachlan, eldest son of the late Helen and James Campbell McLachlan, of this city. The church was tastefully decorated by friends of the bride, and there was a large gathering of friends present to witness the ceremony. Miss Muriel Noble presided at the organ. The bride entered the church on the arm of her brother, Mr John Bateman, and was becomingly attired in a long-sleeved gown of ivory crepe de chine and lace, with a beautiful embroidered tulle veil, attached to a coronet of orange blossom. She wore satin slippers and hose eu suite, and carried a dainty shower bouquet of spring flowers and maidenhair fern. The bridesmaid, Miss Ruby Bateman, wore a very pretty ankle-length sleeveless frock of green floral ninon with shoulder cape daintily trimmed with georgette to tone, her wide drooping felt hat and satin slippers being of the same shade, and she carried a shower bouquet of spring flowers in gold tones with streamers to match. When the happy couple left on their honeymoon trip the bride was wearing a frock of blue celanese satin with hat and shoes to tone. A blue coat and marmot stole completed a very charming ensemble. Mr James McLachlan, of Dunedin, brother of the bridegroom, attended as best man. After the marriage ceremony Mrs Bateman entertained the guests in Brown's Hall, where the usual felicitations and toasts were proposed and honoured.
