For the past dozen or more years Mr. Batchelder had been practically an invalid and a great deal of the time was confined to his bed. While eating supper Saturday evening he was stricken with heart failure and passed away very suddenly. Isaac Batchelder was born Feb. 24, 1840, at Rupert, Vermont, and died a the age of 76 years, 2 months and 11 days. He grew to young manhood in Vermont and on June 5, 1859 was united in marriage with Mary E. Covvey [sic], who remained his faithful companion and now survives him. Heading the call of his country during the dark days of the Civil War, he enlisted as a recruit in the 123rd New York volunteers on August 24, 1864. Joining General Sherman's forces at Atlanta when that city was destroyed by fire, he served under Sherman until the close of the war and received an honorable discharge at the national capital. In 1868 Mr. And Mrs. Batchelor [sic] came west, locating at Belmond, Wright county, Iowa, and the following year they came on to Lincoln county, Dakota Territory, settling on a farm hear Eden, which is now Hudson, S.D. In1871 they purchased homestead relinquishment in Union county, seven miles north of Akron, where the family resided until 1890, when they moved to Akron and this place has since remained their home. Mr. Batchelder engaged in the ice business in Akron for about ten year, when the condition of his health compelled him top retire from labor. His health was badly broken at the close of the was and doctors informed him he might possible live six months. This was what decided him to move to the prairies of the west, and the result was the prolongation of his life considerably beyond the allotted span. Mr. And Mrs. Batchelder were the parents of ten [sic] children, six of whom are living. The eldest daughter, Hattie, died in 1896; a son, Charles, died here in December 1910; a daughter, Mrs. A.J. Tresler died here about eight years ago, and a son, William died at Tulsa, Oklahoma, four or five years ago. The surviving children are David F., of Tulsa, Okla; N.A. of Dimmock, S.D.; Mrs. George Frost, of Chicago; Mrs. A.B. Tresler, of Akron; Mrs. Warren Husted of Sioux City, Iowa; John Batchelder of Akron. Mr. Batchelder was a man of strong patriotic impulses and deep religious convictions, both of which traits he was free to express and always ready to defend. For many years he lived a useful and active life, and before the long-threatened shadow of illness settled down, was a prominent figure in this community. After a brief service at the family home Tuesday afternoon by Rev. F.E. Volck, the funeral was held in the Akron Baptist church, of which the deceased had been a member for many years. The local G.A.R. and W.R.C. members attended the services in a body, along with many sympathizing friends. Interment was made in Riverside cemetery. Relatives who came from a distance to attend the funeral were: N.A. Batchelder, with [wife?] and children of Dimmock, S.D.; Mr. And Mrs. Warren Husted and daughters, Eva and Edith of Sioux City; Mrs. L. Moran and Mrs. A.D. Covvey, of Sioux City; Eugene D. Covvey, William Allen and Mrs. Chas. Blumberg [Blomberg], of Hawarden. -Obit from Martin Davis.
