From the Twillingate Sun, August 14, 1886:

SUDDEN DEATH OF JAMES HENRY BATSTONE OF JACKSON'S COVE

The deceased, the week before he died, had been visiting his friends in Nippers Harbour and had returned in perfect health.

On Sunday he spent the day, as has been his custom for over 20 years, in not only attending but in helping to conduct the Methodist service in that village.

He seemed, however, on this Sunday, July 26th, particularly to enjoy the sacred service. He had scarcely returned 2 hours when his wife, hearing him breathe heavily, lighted the lamp and in a few seconds, without a word, or sigh, he passed away.

Crowds of people on Wednesday flocked from neighbouring harbours to attend the funeral. It was the largest known in this part of the Bay; and was a strong proof of the great and good influence this devoted Christian man has asserted for over 40 years along "these wild rocky shores".

He was 55 years of age and leaves a widow and family in deep sorrow.
