News reached here Monday morning of the death of Mrs. Johnny Bateman at Columbia. She is survived by her husband; by one son, William E., aged 14; by two daughters, aged 13, Lesslie Lea, aged 6; by her father, W.F. Pritchard, Elizabeth City, R.F.D. 3; by one brother, P.A.

Jennings, Elizabeth City.
The body was brought here Monday afternoon and the funeral will be held some time Tuesday. The exact date had not been decided upon when this newspaper went to press.
From The Daily Advance, Elizabeth City, N.C., Monday, November 26, 1923. The name of one of the daughters was omitted and it is unclear if Lesslie Lea is the 13-year-old or the 6-year-old. Or maybe Lesslie was 13 and Lea was 6??
