"Mrs. Minnie L. Morrison-Batchelder, wife of Willliam W. Batchelder, died at her home in Batchtown, Sunday evening, Sept. 20, 1888, aged 28 years, 7 months and 6 days.
She was born in Morgan county, Illinois, Jan. 24th, 1860, and was married to W. W. Batchelder in Graham Co. Kansas, June 30, 1878 at the home of her parents.
In the fall of 1880, they came to Batchtown, the early home of her husband, where they lived in the enjoyment of a pleasant affinity which was ended by the decree of the Death Angel.
Besides her consort, Mrs. Batchelder leaves three bright little girls, the youngest being two years of age, an aged father and mother at Falls City, Nebraska, two brothers and four sisters all living in different parts of the west, and many distant relatives, and a host of sympathizing friends at Batchtown and throughout the immediate community.
She became a member of the Methodist Church at the age of sixteen and maintained an honorable Christian deportment during the remainder of her life.
She was held in high esteem by the best members of society, and, though young in years, she had a particular love for the company of the aged, among whom she found some of her most intimate friends and associates. The predominant characteristic of her inestimable life and influence in the home and the social circle was a love for everything good and enobling, and a dislike for everything low and groveling. As a wife and mother, she possessed the highest traits of character; such as are well worth the imitation of any mother in her love for husband, children and home.
The walls of her ever cheerful home always bore some ornament, placed there by her own busy fingers; but the most endearing shrines are those "the heart hath builded" and which will adorn the walls of memory as long as time lasts. Her funeral was preached in the M. E. church by the writer and immediately afterwards the remains were followed to the private burial ground of A. B. Lowe, and interred beside the resting place of a little girl, who died in infancy several years ago.
Among the company of mourners, was the mother of the deceased, who arrived from Falls City, Nebraska, Tuesday."
