  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.

  FAREWELL SOCIAL. TO TROOPER J E BATEMAN. Trouper J. E. Bateman who was home on final leave, was entertained by the local Patriotic Committee in Carmody's Hall on Friday, 19th inst. and presented with a wristlet watch (writes our correspondent). Mr F. Whelan presided and made the presentation, and in doing so referred in feeling terms to the hard strain on Mr and Mrs Bateman and their young soldier son owing to the loss they had sustained through the death of their eldest son and brother at the front. He was sure the committee and the residents of Waitahuna would give them all the sympathy and strengthening that they possibly could. He also referred to the fact that there was a returned soldier in their midst. Private W. Cullen, to whom a public welcome would be accorded together with Sergeant Edwards, who was expected to arrive shortly. Mr Murdoch and Mr McCaw each gave short, inspiring addresses wishing the young soldier every success and blessing and pointing out the manner in which victory and a righteous and lasting peace would be most surely secured. The following very fine programme of music and song was given during thee evening:- Instrumental duo (piano and violin) Miss Woods and Master Leuz; vocal duet, Misses Nichols and Darton; song, Miss Woods; song, Mr R. Murray; pianoforte duet, Misses. Oudaille; vocal duet, Misses Woods and Nichols; cello solo, Mr J. Bruce. All the performers had to respond to encores which they did with grace and cheerfulness. The chairman moved a vote of thanks to all who had helped to make the meeting a success, specially mentioning Misses Woods, Darton, Nichols, Hart, and Browne, who had come from Lawrence to give their services. A vote of thanks and the National Anthem brought the meeting to a close. Source: Tuapeka Times, 24 April 1918, Page 3.
