Biographies

BATCHELOR, EGERTON LEE (1865-1911), politician, was born on 10 April 1865 in Adelaide, son of Capel Baines and Elizabeth Batchelor. His father, a photographer, died when Batchelor was very young and his mother was left to raise three sons. He was educated at the North Adelaide Model School and when 12 became a pupil-teacher there. He also taught at an early age in a secondary school at the North Adelaide Church of Christ. Although he showed promise as a teacher, Batchelor's fascination with mechanics led him at 17 to become an apprentice engine-fitter in the government engineering plant at Islington. After eleven years at this trade, during which he worked in country towns and was promoted to foreman, he resigned to take up politics. On 10 January 1890 he had married Rosina Mooney in the Christian Chapel in Adelaide and they lived in the city.
