Biographical history
Harold Hope Bateman was born in 1890 to Ellen Bateman (nee Rose) (1851-1948) and Alfred James Bateman (1854-1914) in Ramsey Huntingdonshire, England. Harold's father, Alfred James, was employed as a as a builder, an ironmonger and a contractor for public works. Harold emigrated from Ramsey, Huntingdonshire, England in 1910 at the age of 21.

In 1917 Harold filed his homestead application (File #2418000) for coordinates NW, Section 17, Township 13, Range 1 Meridian 4. It is unclear whether he later maintained this homestead. He married Janette MacDonald (1897-1969) in Medicine Hat around 1918. He remained an employed with the CPR until approximately 1923, when he is listed in the Henderson Directory as a traveling salesman for P Burns Co. Harold maintained his position as a salesman until his retirement around 1963. In 1973 he was awarded for 5o years of service by the United Commercial Travelers of America. Harold had a love of dogs and was an active member of the Kennel Club. He also enjoyed hunting and fishing and was a long standing member of the Medicine Hat Fish and Game Association. Harold and Janette Bateman lived at 128 A - 1st St. NE. Harold Bateman died in 1978.
