Virginian Pilot Thursday February 2, 1899
 MR. JOS. F. BATTLEY

The many friends of Mr. Joseph F. Battley, proprietor of "The Bank" saloon, No. 
11 Bank street, were pained to hear of his sudden demise, which occurred at his 
residence, No. 101 Mariner street, at 2 o'clock yesterday morning, after an 
illness of only four days.
Mr. Battley was on duty at his place of business Saturday night.  At 12 o'clock 
Tuesday night he was engaged at his home in a business conversation with one of 
his employes, who resides with him.
Deceased was the son of Mrs. Tomasia L. and the late Mr. Joseph F. Battley, of 
this city, and was 29 years of age.  He leaves a widow, the daughter of Mr. John 
Sadler, of Norfolk, formerly of Petersburg, and two children.
Mr. Battley was a member of Norfolk Lodge, B.P.O. Elks and Lafayette-Lodge, 
I.O.O.F., both of which will attend his funeral from Freemason Street Baptist 
Church, at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon.  For six years Mr. Battley was in the 
employ of the Atlantic Hotel, and had the full confidence of his employers.  
When the late war broke out he was Quartermaster Sergeant of the Fourth Virginia 
regiment and went as far as Richmond with the command, whence it was called into 
active service.  He was a gentleman of genial and whole-soul manners, and a 
general favorite with all who knew him.
