Read More	John Wood Batchelder was born at Alexandria, Sullivan county, New Hampshire, August 27, 1828. He was 67 years, 2 months and 10 days old. When he was some 10 years old he came with his parents to Winnebago county, Illinois, near Rockford, where he had his residence for 32 years. He was married to Miss Louisa M. Whitwood in 1852. To them were born four sons, who survive him, and one daughter who died when 2 years old. Mr. Batchelder moved from Illinois to Seward county, Nebraska in 1870 and located on his homestead in B township. Thus he has been an honored resident here for 25 years. Mrs. Batchelder died in 1878 and the widower, with his boys, remained on the farm for some 7 years. In 1885 he was married to Mrs. Mary J. York, who also died on January 4, 1889, leaving him again a widower. Mr. Batchelder's last occupation was that of a hardware merchant in Bee. He became a Christian in the days of his youth, and since that time he has always had membership in the nearest church. When the United Brethren church was organized in Bee he became one of its charter members, and ever since that time he has been one of its most trustworthy leaders and indispensable advisers, always willing and competent to discharge official duties. He was at the time of his death the church steward, a member of the board of trustees and the secretary of the quarterly conference. His life was so pure, so irreproachable and so consistent as to render him an honor to any church or community. As a pioneer citizen of Seward county he has extensively known, and so extensively held in high esteem as a man among men, he commanded respect in every station of life. For several terms he has been elected justice of the peace and for years he held and nobly filled different township offices. His latest position was that of a township clerk to which office he was re-elected one day before his death. The funeral services were conducted by his pastor, Rev. M. Fulcomer, at 3:30 p.m. on Friday inst. The business houses and the schools were closed. Seward Independent, Seward, NE, Fri, Nov 15, 1895
