Biography
- Birth: 26 January 1842; Canada West
- Death: 30 January 1872; Jackson County, Kansas
- Burial: Holton Cem., Holton, Kansas
- Note: 1856 Iowa state census and 1870 Census, Franklin Tp, Jackson county, Kansas (extracted by K. Simon) both indicate that William was born in Ohio; however, as 1851 census gives Canada (now Ontario) as place of birth I am assuming the earlier reference is probably correct.

George C. Bateman

Parents
Biography
- Birth: 8 March 1845; Canada West
- Death: 2 August 1911; Jackson County, Kansas
- Burial: 8 August 1911; Holton Cem., Holton, Kansas
- Note: 1900 census indicates George was born in Canada and came to the USA in 1866, although this is clearly incorrect as he was in Iowa in 1856 when he was said to be 10 years old and born in Ohio (as does the 1880 census).
Obituary from the Holton Signal, August 10, 1911 (extracted and transcribed by Kathie Simon):
George C. Bateman was born the 8th day of March, 1845, in the state of Ohio. Deceased spent over a half century in the vicinity of Holton, where he owned one of the finest farms in Jackson county.
Mr. Bateman was 66 years, four months, and twenty-five days at the time of his death. He leaves no children from either marriage. He leaves a widow, Mrs. Susie Bateman, a host of relatives and every one was his friend. His familiar form will be greatly missed by all. Uncle George despised shame of every form, himself honest and frank, he therefore expected the same of every one else. He was sick less than twenty four hours and died August the second. The burial services were conducted at the Baptist church of which he was a member, joining the church a great many years ago. Prayer was offered in the home before leaving for the church in the afternoon at 2 o’clock. It was one of the largest funerals ever held in Holton. The Odd Fellows attended in a body. The pastor, his wife and daughter, and Mr. Jackson did the singing and the sermon was preached from Job using these words, “If a man die shall he live again?” From the church a great concourse of friends accompanied the remains to the Holton cemetery, where amid a profusion of flowers all that was mortal of our dear friend was laid to rest under the auspices of the Odd Fellows dismissed by his pastor, Jesse H. Jones. Uncle George has been toiling with his hands to build a character not massive and grand, but one that like pure gold, will grow brighter with the using, and passing of time, and so we say peace to his ashes and blessings upon his deeds."
Note, although this obituary also says George was born in Ohio, the 1851 Canadian census confirms he was born in Canada.
- Note: Susan M. Williamson; Source: Index to Jackson County marriages, 1855 - 1884, edited by Dan Fenton, 1989. However, in 1900 George and his wife "Margaret" were living in Pottawatomie county, Kansas, where her name was given as Margaret, probably her middle name.

Biography
- Birth: 13 March 1852; Bothwell, Ontario

- Burial: Holton Cem., Holton, Kansas
- Note: In 1856 said to have been born in Canada, age 5, in contrast to info on his older brothers. In 1870 Robert was 19 years old and living with his parents in Kansas. He was a farm laborer.
Marriage records from Jackson County give 4 different marriages for Robert Bateman. It is not certain that these are all the same Robert, but the death dates for the wives, obtained from cemetery records, do make it possible. I have seen a letter in which a resident of Holton was reported to have said that Robert had three wives. In 1920 Robert was a widower living with his son-in-law, Marion Shields in Liberty tp, Jackson county.

Kathie Simon submitted the following obituary, taken from the Holton Recorder, September 19, 1897:
John Parrott, one among the old settlers of Jackson county, died of old age, at his residence in this city, yesterday at 12 o'clock m. [sic] Mr. Parrott was born near Bandon, Ireland, March, 1894 [sic -probably should be 1794], and was, at his death, past eighty-five years of age. In 1819, about a year after his marriage, he removed from Ireland to Barthel, New Brunswick, and shortly after arriving at his new home, embraced Christianity and joined the Wesleyan Methodist church, in which he was an active laborer, contributing largely to the building of the first Wesleyan church in Barthel. In the year 1847 he removed with his family to Ohio, and from thence to this county in 1859. After coming to the United States he joined the M. E. church, continuing in the same a faithful, conscientious member until his death. He lived with his wife, who survives him, a little over sixty-one years. The deceased was an honest, hard working farmer, who in the course of his life cleared two large farms in the forest and improved one on the prairie. He impressed everyone with whom he came in contact that he was a faithful, zealous Christian and one who enjoyed his religion and esteemed it above every earthly good. His last hours were hours of triumph. Among his last words uttered was a verse of the last hymn written by Charles Wesley: -
In age and feebleness extreme
Who shall a sinful worm redeem?
Jesus my only hope thou art.
Strength of my flesh and failing heart;
O, could I catch a smile from thee
And drop into eternity.
The funeral takes place from the M. E. church this afternoon, at 2 o'clock.
