AUGUSTUS M. BATTE BIBLE RECORD

Submitted by Mrs. O. Frankia STORY, Meeker, OK 74855-0607

Mrs. STORY writes, “I now have the BATTE/BATT’s Old Family Bible. It is in bad shape. It belonged to my great-grandfather, Augustus M. BATTE

The Bible’s long journey – Augustus BATTE brought it from Wayne County, TN to Wayne County, IL in the early 1870’s. My grandfather W. T. (William Thomas) brought it to Lincoln County, OK in the fall of 1898. W. T.’s oldest daughter, Lillie CHILCOTE took it to Bakersfield, CA in the early 1950’s. After her death, her daughter Gwen HUBBS of Los Angeles got the Bible. In October of 1997, the Bible was given to me at a BATTE/BATT reunion at the Old Batte Homestead – a farm that has remained in the Batte family since the fall of 1898. The farm is now owned by Bill and Buddy BATT. (The farm is located in Lincoln County north of McLoud, OK).”
