One thought on “Killamarsh Methodist Church. Ernest Albert Batterham and Nellie Batterham (nee Mallinder). They donated and presented the two chairs and table to the Church”

1. My grandparents lived at number 5 Stanley Street for many years. Dedicated Methodists they lived for the community & were always there to lend a helping hand.
   Granddad had a wheelbarrow he used in the gardens rented from Newtons. On his way home with produce he would arrive home with a lighter barrow. He gave stuff away as he saw neighbours!

   Grandma was the lady who laid out the deceased & washed the bodies ready for burial. She had waist length hair that was washed in a stone sink with water heated from the coal fire. If I did anything wrong, which was often, she would always say “your neck of you!”

   Two people who lived by their beliefs & were an example to all who knew them.

   Grandma died on my birthday & Granddad died several months later from a broken heart. Always fondly remembered.
