Life

John Ocie Batson was born in Elmore County, Alabama, on 26 March 1874, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the date; the records name him variously as John O., J. O., Ose, Osel and Osee.1 The federal census of 1880 lists John O. Batson in the household (the people living together at one address, as the census-taker recorded them) of J. P. Batson at Knights Mill, Elmore County, and in 1900 the census, indexing the name as "Ose J. Batsor", found him in the household of Janis P. Batsor in Precinct 7, Rockford, Coosa County.2

On 19 June 1902 J. O. Batson married Mattie Webb, Martha Clara Webb, a daughter of Charles David Webb and Clarrissa Jane Carlisle, in Coosa County.3 She died on 14 July 1904, after two years of marriage, and was buried at Alexander City.4 By 1910 he was living at Bay Minette, Baldwin County, Alabama, where the censuses of 1910, 1920 and 1930 found him; his draft registration of 1917–1918, as John Osel Batson, was made in Baldwin County.5 The tree records no second marriage and no children.6

He died at Bay Minette on 31 July 1930 and was buried on 2 August in Bay Minette Cemetery; his death is recorded in the Alabama death index, and Find a Grave indexes his memorial as John Osee Batson.7
