BATCHELLER, EZRA - The funeral of Ezra Batcheller, who died at Grand Haven, Mich., Monday, occurs at that city this forenoon at 10 o'clock and remains will be taken to Lyons, Iowa, for interment.
Mr. Batcheller came to Chicago in 1837 from Paxton, Mass. where he was born Nov. 10, 1820. Arriving in Chicago he entered the employ of Philo Carpenter, who at that primative day was doing business where the lumber market now stands. Mr. Batcheller saw in young Chicago's rapid growth financial gain, and invested in real estate, entering the firm of Holden & Batcheller. In 1865 he removed to Lyons, Iowa, where he entered the real estate business and found a wife. Mr. Batcheller was until ten years ago a prominent and respected citizen of Lyons, being major of the city at one time. In 1880 he returned to Chicago and again entered the real estate business in this city. By dint of hard work he accumulated a large estate. Two years ago his health began to fail him, and last November he went to Grand Haven, Michigan, to visit a sister and try and regain his wanted health. Relief did not come, however, and during the last nine months he failed rapidly, a combination of diseases hastening his end. One of the old settlers, his death will cause many reminiscences of the past among many of those who ar left and whom in his delightful social way Mr. Batcheller was accustomed to entertain. The deceased leaves a daughter, Mrs. J.F. Baker, Clinton, Iowa; a sister, Mrs. Sarah Shippey, Grand Haven, Michigan; and two brothers, Webster Batcheller of Chicago, and Jenison Batcheller, Glens Falls, New York.

BURKITT, John W., Sr., one of the most active, powerful and versatile business men in the history of Arlington Heights and of Palatine, passed away at 4 o'clock Wednesday morning in Park Ridge, having been in a coma since Sunday morning, from a stroke. The funeral service will be at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Hazel Burkitt Schmitz, West Euclid avenue at the North Western tracks, Arlington Heights, Saturday afternoon. This is Mr. Burkitt's home during most of his business career here.
Mr. Burkitt was a true type of the hardy, capable pioneer stock that so rapidly built in this western wilderness a highly developed civilization. Born on a farm on East Euclid avenue, near the present Draper farm, he started his business career working in a tin shop in Arlington Heights, owned by Mr. Ben Kinder, who, in the nineties, still comes down to occasional work in the Kinder shop in Des Plaines. From a tinsmith he developed into a jeweler, having a store at about the same site as the present Arlington Bootery on Dunton avenue near Campbell street.
He had a hardware business along with his jewelry shop, which he moved to a building he built and which is now the Winkelman Tire and Battery shop on Davis street. He made and repaired bicycles in the rear of this shop. He also, about 1899, took over the telephone exchange, which was in this building, and from ten or eleven phones, he built up the business until there were some 250 phones, his children operating the switch board while he looked after the business end. Some of the watches Mr. Burkitt sold 45 or 50 years ago are still in use, and come in for repair once in a while.
Mr. Burkitt for a time in the 80's had hardware and coal business in Palatine. He had a coal business on Dunton street in Arlington Heights, at about the identical site now occupied by the Chicago & North Western freight station. He was also called the "Cherry King" of Illinois. On his farm just south of the intersection of Euclid avenue and the tracks, were picked as high as twelve to fifteen tons of cheeries of choice varieties in a single year. This was before the days of serious fruit pests. To Mr. Burkitt also went the distinction of starting the first commercial garage in Arlington Heights, the cement block building on Davis street next to his former Jewelry shop and now used as an annex by the Gaare Motor Sales. This was erected about 22 years ago, E. M. F. and Flanders cars were sold.
Besides all this, Mr. Burkitt was a great windmill man, he put up most of the windmills in this part of the country. He later erected a commercial garage in Park Ridge, for his son, John W. Burkitt, Jr., which business is now in operation. In 1916, he moved to Park Ridge, and was cared for by his deceased wife's cousin, Miss Lydia M. Decker, who, after the mother passed away, has mothered the entire family.
Mr. Burkitt was a great home man, never drank or used tobacco in any form, and had extraordinary vitality. His illness began by accidental falls in 1918, followed by many sucessive strokes of paralysis, from which he rallied again and again. His physician has been amazed at his vitality. His wife, who was Miss Lydia Pratt of Palatine, passed on years ago, also one son, Granado Burkitt, in 1905. He leaves three children, Ralph E. Burkitt and John W. Burkitt, Jr. of Park Ridge, and the one daughter, Mrs. Hazel Burkitt Schmitz of Arlington Heights. Mr. John Proctor of South Dunton street, said to be the oldest native resident of Arlington Heights is his first cousin. His youngest and last surviving brother, Lorenzo C. Burkitt, passed away in Waterloo, Iowa, about two months ago. A sister, Mrs. Sarah Goldsmith, in Chatfield, Minnesota. He has left a notable number of descendants.
Mr. Burkitt was a member of the summer resort colony of Arlington Heights on the Fox river at Cary, Illinois. (Arlington Heights Herald newspaper, dated April 24, 1931).
The funeral service was conducted by the Rev. Allan Billman of Lake Forest, Ill., a friend of the family. Mrs. Grace Lorenzen sang at the home, "A Light Upon the Shore" and "The Sweet Bye and Bye" and at the cemetery, "Sands of Time" The pallbearers were Mr. E. N. Berbecker, Mr. John Proctor, Mr. S. E. Pate, and Mr. George Klenm, all of Arlington Heights; Mr. Hall of Des Plaines; and Mr. Will Whiting of Evanston.
Relatives from out of town were Mr. and Mrs. George Vosseller and son, Edward, of Waverly, Iowa (his brothers Will's daughter, husband and son); Mrs. Carrie Bernard and Mrs. Lizzie Bernard (his sister Sarah's children and Mrs. Bertha Bernard Bailey all of Chatfield, Minnesota, the Misses May and Myrtle Burkitt from Michigan; Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Baldy/Baiday? all from Chewem/Hawen, Iowa, and Mr. and Mrs. Wail? Lecker from River Grove, Ill. Mr. Burkitt was the last of his generation, and these are of the younger.
Mr. Burkitt leaves three children, one having passed away before him, five grandchildren, seventeen nieces and nephews, 76 grand nieces and nephews and 148 great grand... and 9 great great grand..

FANDRY, Clarence - Willow Springs -- Clarence Fandrey, 67, was killed when his home at 220 Willow Springs Rd., caught fire Friday, Jan. 9, 1970. Fire appeared to have started in the bedroom where most of the damage occurred, but definite cause was undetermined. Fandrey, who lived alone, died of smoke inhalation and was pronounced dead on arrival at LaGrange Community Memorial Hospital. Police Chief Chester Burda said that a story, reporting that Fandrey had died because the fire department disconnected their hose to allow a Gulf, Mobile and Ohio train through, was completely false. "The fire was reported at 10:10 p.m. and Fandrey was evacuated promptly on arrival of firemen some minutes later. The house was almost demolished by the time the hose was disconnected to allow the train through at midnight," he said. It was necessary to lay the hose across the tracks in order to get it to the closest hydrant to the house. Fandrey was the brother of Harold Fandrey, former trustee and current sewer inspector for the village. Contributed by source #1

HENRY FOREMAN PASSES AWAY.
One of the First Merchants Who Settled in Chicago Dies, Eighty-two Years Old.
Henry Foreman, 82 years old, died at his residence, 3418 Vernon avenue, yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, after an illness of several months. Mr. Foreman was one of the first merchants in Chicago and although he retired from active business in 1867 he has been connected, through his sons, with the Foreman Shoe company, Foreman Bros.' Banking company, and Mandel Bros. He was for many years one of the leaders among the Jews of this city and there are few large enterprises among his people in which he was not concerned.
Mr. Foreman was born in Dermstein, Germany, July 18, 1817. He came to America in 1838, settling in Pennsylvania, and moved to Delphi, Ind., in 1840. He was one of the first to settle there and lived in that town until 1854, when he came to Chicago.
With his brothers, Gerhard, Benjamin, and Joseph, he started the first wholesale clothing house in this city, under the name of Foreman Bros. This store was in South Water street, but when the civil war broke out it was moved to East Lake street. In 1867 the firm was dissolved. Mr. Foreman retired, but his brothers continued in different lines of business.
Although the oldest, Mr. Foreman survived his brothers and until a few years ago was hale and hearty. Until three months ago he was able to visit the various firms which his sons control and he took a keen interest in their work.
Mr. Foreman leaves a widow and the following children; Mrs. Leon Mandel, Mrs. Oscar Greenebaum, Mrs. Jacob Schandig, Miss Bertha Foreman, Edward H., Frank, Samuel H., Isaac H., and David H. Foreman. The funeral arrangements will be announced.
