ALBERT FRED BATCHMAN

ALBERT FRED BATCHMAN was born in Erie County, Ohio, March 27, 1859, and came to
Barton County in 1878. He first located at Ellinwood where he remained for ten
years, with the exception of about eight months, while he was in Colorado and
New Mexico. He then began the farming business in Stafford County and was there
eight years before he returned to this county and bought 280 acres of land in
section 6 of Comanche township. Mr. Batchman farms all of this land and owns 160
acres in Stafford county which he rents, and 160 in South Bend township which he
also rents by the year. Mr. Batchman was married in 1890 to Miss Carrie Nesling
of Ellinwood, Kansas. They are the parents of three children: Pearl, 19 years of
years; Hildred, 12 years of age; and Albert, 9 years old. All of them are
students in the schools of the county. Mr. Batchman's home place is one of the
most desirably located and most highly improved to be found in his township. The
residence consists of seven rooms in addition to the closets, pantries, etc. The
barn is 30 by 38 feet in dimensions with a large loft and is well built and
conveniently arranged. The orchard which is found near the home is well kept and
contains a wide variety of fruits common to this section of the country. The
home is situated in neat, pleasing surroundings, there being ample shade trees
as well as trees and shrubbery for ornamental purposes. Mr. Batchman has had a
great deal to do with the development of the land lying south of the river and
is an enterprising and progressive citizen. He uses modern farming methods and
his success is due to this fact and the fact that he has gained the knowledge
necessary to successful farming by going through the bad and good years that
have elapsed since he took up his home here.
