BATCHELDER,
Nathaniel
Obituary
The Forum Whitehall, Michigan 29 August 1889 Page 1
LOCAL POINTERS Nathaniel Batchelder died of old age at
the farm residence of George Mills Saturday last, aged 94 years. The funeral took place
Sunday.
Will/Probate
7 November 1889 Page 1
The trial of the will contest over the
will of the late Nathaniel Batchelter, of Montague township, has been in
progress before Judge of Probate Aldrich this week, and a number of White Lakers
have attended as witnesses. Deceased left a will bequeathing his property, valued at about
$2,000, to G. A. Whitbeck. This is contested by the daughter of deceased, a Mrs. Hagerman, and also
by George Miller and son who claim a prior will. The old man was declared incompetent
some time before his death and C. L. Streng was appointed guardian. The claims of Whitbeck and the Millers
are based on care taken of the old man during his life. Mrs. Hagerman claims as heiress to his
estate. The case has taken all the
week, and Mrs. Mary Holmes of Whitehall, is watching the outcome in order
to make a claim as the widow of the deceased.
14 November 1889 Page 1 LOCAL POINTERS The Batchelder will case is still
hanging fire in the probate court in Muskegon. 28 November 1889 Page 1 LOCAL POINTERS The proof and arguments are all in in
the Batchelder will contest, and Probate Judge Aldrich will announce his
decision on Saturday of this week. 5 December 1889 Page 1 In the Batchelder will case Judge Aldrich
last Saturday decided not to admit the will to probate. This defeats the claim of G. A. Whitbeck, the devisee of the will, and leaves the estate to the daughter of
deceased. Mr. Whitbeck talks of
appealing the case. After the will
question is settled it is understood that Mrs. Mary Holmes, a relict of the
decedent, will claim a share of the estate.
30 January 1890 Page 1 LOCAL POINTERS The Batchelder will case, of Montague,
which attracted so much attention in the probate court, will be appealed to the
circuit court.
20 March 1890 Page 1 LOCAL POINTERS Judge Aldrich has appointed Edward Leedom special administrator of the estate of Nathaniel D. Batchelder.
1, 8, & 15 May 1890 Page 4 Probate Order .In the matter of the estate of Nathaniel
C. Batchelder, deceased. On reading and filing the petition duly
verified of Mary Ann Batchelder, representing that she is widow of deceased and
praying that an allowance for her support pending administration be made
out of the personal property now in the hands of the Administrator. Thereupon it is ordered that Monday the
19th day of May next at ten o'clock in the forenoon, at the Probate Office, in
the City of Muskegon, be assigned for the hearing of said petition and that
notice of said hearing be given to the persons interested in said estate,
by causing a copy of this order to be published in the Whitehall Forum, a
newspaper printed and circulated in said county of Muskegon for three successive
weeks previous to said day of hearing.
5 June 1890 Page 1 LOCAL POINTERS W. E. Osmun went to Kansas City this
week to take W. H. Baker's testimony in the Batchelder will case. When this matter has run the legal
gauntlet what there is left of the Batchelder estate can be stuffed into a
gnat's eye.

ANOTHER
VICTIM - The dreaded weather, as might be expected, has produced another
suicide. But the unfortunate who has this time anticipated nature was
a weary of life without the additional provocative of such superlatively suicidal
surroundings. Fannie Bean was not long ago a very pretty girl, and
virtuous, too no doubt. She has been married but her husband died about a
year ago. Deprived of her natural protector, poor Fannie became engulfed
in the maelstrom of social vice, and was soon whirled into the hotbed of
immorality yclept Chicago, where on Sunday night, just before laying down to
sleep in eternity, she penned the following heart-rending words: TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Please
write or telegraph to my father and mother. It was mother's last request
when I left her that, in case of sickness or anything, I should let her know.
She said that in such case she would come after me. Oh, I want to be
buried by my husband. FANNIE BEAN Address, Mary A. Bean,
Muskegon,
Mich. The girl had been
ailing for some time, and was in correspondingly low spirits. Besides, it
was evident that memories of the past were preying upon her, and, by degrees,
consuming her. The means of destruction adopted was poison -- a narcotic.
She was found dead in her room Monday morning by one of her companions in
vice. The coroner held an inquest of the victim of misfortune was complied
with, and the corpse arrived in this city Wednesday for
interment
