Lake Odessa Wave, 24 Jun 1925

Beautiful Life of Lake O’ Girl Taken

Wife of C.C. Batdorf and Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C.B. Carpenter Laid to Rest 
at Lake Side.

Great was the surprise of the family and of the many friends of Lottie 
Carpenter Batdorf when the message came that she had passed away at the time of 
an operation at a Petosky hospital.

Many were the friends that expressed sympathy to the bereaved family here and 
at their home.  At Levering a funeral service was held at night as the body was 
to be shipped early the next morning too early for a funeral service.

Mrs. Batdorff was so well known and so much admired by her family and friends 
here and her accomplishments of so much service in the world that her death 
seems untimely and to be deplored, however, God who allows those things to 
come, will help those who sorrow to know that it must have been best.

The beautiful childhood and girlhood of Lottie Carpenter was appreciated by all 
who knew her.  She and her husband even before their marriage were on many 
musical programs in this village and often gave their services to the M.E. 
Church here where Mrs. Batdorff was a Sunday School attendant from childhood.

She was studious and bright graduating with the class of 1910 and teaching 
afterward.

The funeral was held at the Carpenter home here Sunday afternoon Rev. F.H. 
Cramer gave an excellent talk and a quartette composed of Messrs Leon Gilson, 
M.A. Wade, Merlin Morgan and Wm. Gilson sang.

Those from out of town in attendance at the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs. Geo. 
Carpenter of Remus, Mrs. Edwin Davis and son, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Davis of 
Lansing, Mr. and Mrs. Emerson Batdorff and children Dale and Lorna of Rudyard, 
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Batdorff of Sault Ste Marie, Mrs. May Batdorff, Mr. and Mrs. 
Claud Batdorff and Loraine Adams of Grand Rapids, Frances Hoyland and Mrs. Ruth 
Buckborough of Chicago, Mr. and Mrs. E.F. Bradley of Tecumseh, Mr. and Mrs. 
Henry Carpenter of Detroit, Mrs. Alfred Rowlander of Mt. Pleasant, Mr. and Mrs. 
Ambrose Cooper of Woodland, Mr. Clint Rudd and Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Stewart of 
Berlin and Mr. Galloway of Ionia, also Mr. and Mrs. Bert Holly and Mr. and Mrs. 
Jake Reisinger of Woodland, Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Lawrence and Mr. and Mrs. A.T. 
Luther of Ionia, Mr. and Mrs. E.G. York of Grand Rapids and Mr. and Mrs. Coal, 
Mr. and Mrs. Harting, Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Morrow, John Spensley and Ed Cousins of
