Surviving Mr. Bateman are his widow, Mrs. Agnes H. Bateman, two children by a former marriage, C. Palmer Bateman of Somerville and Mrs. Carl E.

His forebears were Hollanders and the first settlement of the family in this country was on Long Island. His great-grand father, Israel Bateman, enacted an historic part in the war of the Revolution, having responsibility for acquiring boats at Lambertville to be used by General Washington in the memorable crossing of the Delaware River prior to the battle of Trenton. Mr. Bateman was educated in the public school in Pennington and in Pennington Seminary, from which he was graduated in 1880. He taught school for one year, then entered Princeton University, receiving his degree there in 1885. It was in 1887 that Mr. Bateman entered the fourth estate, as a cub reporter for the "State Gazette" in Trenton. Later he was identified with the "Trenton Times" and the "True American," of which he was city editor for four years. From the time he began newspaper work, Mr. Bateman followed closely affairs of the State Legislature and until 1908 he was legislative correspondent and political writer for the "New York Evening Post," "Philadelphia Evening Telegraph," the "Paterson Call" and the Associated Press. For many years he was correspondent here for the "Newark Evening News" and in 1909 he was president of the New Jersey Legislative Correspondents' Club. In 1891 Mr. Bateman became financially interested in the "Unionist-Gazette" here and was its managing editor until the merger of Somerville newspapers took place in 1930. Mr. Bateman was a member of the original New Jersey Civil Service Commission in 1908 and was reappointed to that body in 1910. He served as private secretary to two presidents of the State Senate, during the terms of Senator Charles A. Reed and Senator Lewis A. Thompson At the time of his death he was president of the Somerville Savings Bank and a member of the board of directors of the New Jersey Reformatory in Annandale. In the death of Mr. Bateman the Second Reformed Church loses one of its staunchest members. He had served both as elder and deacon and for many years was superintendent of the Sunday school. He was a member of the Monday Evening Club, Fireside Club, Somerset County Historical Society, Somerville Lodge BPOE and the Rotary Club. Of the latter he was a former president. Mr. Bateman's first wife was Miss Louise Palmer, their marriage taking place in 1896. Mrs. Bateman died in 1927. His second wife was Mrs. Agnes Rice Hill of Trenton.
