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.

SCOTT, Mary E.
Mrs. Mary E. Scott, widow of the late Myron Scott of this city, passed away yesterday at the home of her son, Arthur A. Scott in Mukilteo, Washington. Mrs. Scott had been ill for many months and for many weeks her death had been expected. News of her passing reached this city yesterday afternoon. She had been a resident of Grand Haven for many years, until eleven months ago when she went to Everett, Washington, to make her home with her son, who is vice president of the Crown Lumber Company. Her death occurred at his home near that city. Mrs. Scott was sixty-eight years of age and she came to Grand Haven in her girlhood. Aside from a few years during which she made her home in Grand Rapids the greater part of the time, Grand Haven has always been her home. Her husband, who at the time of his death was United States Inspector of Steam Vessels for the Grand Haven district died twenty-four years ago. Her sons now survive her, Eugene Scott of this city, Arthur Scott of Mukilteo and Kingsbury Scott of this city. Mrs Scott was a charter member of Grand Haven chapter O.E.S. and one of the early members of the old W.R.C. organization here. For a number of years she was an active worker in the Presbyterian church woman's organization. She was also one of the early members of the Grand haven Woman's Club. She will be brought back to Grand Haven for burial, announcement of the funeral services will be made later. 30 Sept 1918 The remains of Mrs. Myron Scott reached here this morning from Mukilteo, Washington, where she died Sept 24. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur A. Scott accompanied the remains in the journey from the coast. Eugene Scott joined the party in Milwaukee on Sunday and arrived here with them this morning. Mrs. Scott had spent most of her life in Grand haven and was one of the best loved women of the city. For several years she had been making her home in the family of son, Arthur in Washington but had spent several summers in Grand Haven since going there. Her visits here were always much anticipated by her many friends. The funeral of Mrs. Scott was held this afternoon with services from the home of Eugene Scott on Franklin street.

SCOTT, Myron
It is with a deep sense of loss that the Tribune announces the death of Myron Scott, which occurred at four o'clock yesterday afternoon. Although he has been sick and confined to his home since last November, and the last few weeks has been gradually sinking, still his demise is no less a painful shock to his many friends. His death was caused by catarrh of the stomach, contracted by exposure in the service. Myron Scott was born in West Dresden, near Geneva NY, forty-nine years ago the fourth of last March. His birthplace was in the beautiful lake region of the Empire State and when quite young he was engaged on one of the small steamers that ply on Seneca Lake. When the tocsin of war sounded, Mr. Scott, though then but a lad, enlisted and went to the front. He served two years in Co. H, 33rd NY Volunteers, a regiment made up of men living in the counties adjoining the birthplace of Mr. Scott. He participated in the first battle of Bull's Run and Harper's Ferry, also in the memorable contest at Antietam. At Fredericksburg he was wounded in two places, and captured by the Confederates. After capture he was made a prisioner in old, historic Libby, where he was for some time. A brother was killed in the battle of the Wilderness. In 1863 deceased came to Grand Haven, and has been an honored and respected resident ever since. Shortly after arriving he engaged on the tug Jones. For nearly twenty years he was in the employ of White & Friant as engineer of their tugs and steamers, in the lumber business. Among the boats in which he sailed here were the tugs Miranda, St Mary, (old) Tempest, Stewart Edward and Claude and the propellors White & Friant and Tempest, sailing on every lake in the chain. Mr. Scott was married in 1867 and three sons blessed the union, Eugene A., Arthur A. and M. Kingsbury. Eight years ago Mr. Scott was appointed one of the board of government steamboat inspectors with offices here. Mr. Scott was boiler inspector, and Capt. Dodge the other member of the board was inspector of hulls. Together they have travelled many miles in the course of their duty, in the district over which they had jurisdiction. Mr. Scott succeeded Mr. Cowan in the office of inspector, the latter being now engineer of the Auditorium, Chicago. For some time Mr. Scott's health has been failing and late last fall he was compelled to go home, and has remained indoors mostof the time since. A few weeks ago he tendered his resignation as inspector, since which time, inspection boards of other districts have attended to the business of this district. Deceased was a member of Weatherwax Post, G.A.R. and also a member of the Ex-prisioner's Association. He has held a number of offices in the G.A.R. Mr. Scott was a member of the Grand Haven Lodge, No 139, Free and Accepted Masons, and was king in Corinthian Chapter, No 84, R.A.M. and Thrice Illustrions Master of Grand haven Council, No 51, R. & S.M. He was also a charter member of several marine engineer's lodges. He wasa prominent member of Muskegon Commandery, Knight's Templar, under whose auspices his funeral will be conducted. The entire community will mourne the death of Myron Scott. Mr. Scott was a man to be admired and loved by all who were so fortunate as to share his acquaintance. Kind and gentle in the extreme, and of a modest disposition, a harsh word was a stranger to his lips. After his amiable family, the marine engineers of this district will most sincerely mourne his death. The funeral tomorrow will undoubtedly be very impressive. It will be held from the residence on Water street, at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon under the auspices of the Knight's Termplar. The Masonic orders will attend as escort. June 18, 1894 The funeral of Myron Scott yesterday was most impressive and very largely attended. A special train brought down Muskegon Commandery, Knight'sTemplar from Muskegon and the little steamer Harvey Watson came from Saugatuck with about 25 friends of the dead man. The procession to the cemetery was a very long one and was headed by Beerman's band. Muskegon Commandery was in line about 45 strong. Unfortunately the heavy rain caused the ceremony at the grave to be dispensed with. The city of Milwaukee had her flags at halfmast in memory of Myron Scott, today. All of the vesels in the harbor had their colors at halfmast as well as many private poles about the city
