HATCH, Annie (Mrs. W. B.), Beeville Bee, 13 Oct 1905

Death of Mrs. W. B. Hatch

Mrs. Annie HATCH, wife of W. B. HATCH, an old and highly esteemed citizen of Papalote, died yesterday 
morning at the home of her son-in-law, Dr. F. B. SEYMOUR in this city. The deceased had been ill some 
time but her death was not expected, as lately she seemed to be improving.  The dreaded summons came, 
however, in the form of heart disease while her Mr. HATCH was absent at their old home in Papalote on business.

The deceased was in the 63rd year of her age and was a native of Texas, her family being among the early 
American settlers at Goliad. She and her husband have been residents of Bee county for more than thirty 
years, and naturally leaves among the older, residents many friends to regret her death.  Besides a brother, 
Wm. BRIDGE of Normanna, she leaves six children. The eldest, Geo. C.  HATCH is a resident of Edna, 
Mrs. F. B. SEYMOUR and Wm. HATCH are residents of Beeville, Mrs. R. O. SKIDMORE at Alice, and 
Mrs. A. F. THOMAS and Herbert at Papalote.

The remains were taken to Papalote last evening and will be interred in the family burial plot in the 
Protestant cemetery today.
