He was tall; stout; with blue eyes & brown hair. Signed---Burch Reason Bates. [1986] Manhattan, Montana [Gallatin Cnty History] BURCH REASON BATES was born in Iowa on 26 Feb 1886 to Eva Burch & Alex Bates. Burch married Floyd S Scollard 17 Mar 1909 in Iowa City IA. That year Burch went to Montana to look over the possibility of moving there. (Some of his wife's uncles came to the Manhattan area in 1890). In 1910, Mrs Bates & small daughter, Alberta Marie joined him at the ranch, 1.5 miles west of Amsterdam. This was their home for over the next 55 years. Three more children were born there: Avery Verne -- 4 Jul 1911; LeoScollard on 23 Dec 1912; RubyeEleanor (Cooper) on 21 Oct 1914. Life was not easy on this dry land with many horses to care for (no tractors then) & with several hired men. Household water had to be hauled from a Camp Creek spring, 4 miles south of Amsterdam. In 1911 they had a well drilled (225 feet deep). A windmill pumped water to the cistern.The windmill served the home for over 70 years. Household power came from a wind charger in 1939 & electricity in 1943. Plowing with horses seemed endless. Then came the 1919 dry year. Fortunately, Burch was farming a Verwolf farm in Amsterdam which was irrigated & had sufficient hay for the livestock. Burch raised some Brown Swiss cows & excelled in butter making & sold his product to the local store. He had to resort to using "Triangle Ranch" butter wrappers as other butter was being sold as Bates Butter. Hog butchering, dressing, cutting, curing & rendering were other specialties -- crafts that benefitted the community. Mrs Bates who had the name Floyd, was the first child of James & Elizabeth (Snider) Scollard. She was born in Pleasantville IAS on 23 Apr 1883. (Her parents afraid they'd never have a son, named her Floyd; they then had 7 sons & another daughter). Mrs Bates was a good cook & harvesting & threshing crews never were unhappy when it rained & they were stalled at the Bates. They lived in an old 2 story log house which they tore down in 1955, leaving a kitchen which had been added on earlier. To the kitchen, they added a living room, bbedroom & bath with a basement. During the time the children went to school, the Bates maintained a home across from the Manhatten High School. In 1925, they had one of the areas first horse drawn combines & in 1944 a self propelled combinen. The dirty, dusty, dry 1930's were hard years. The hot wind, army worms, cut owrms, grasshoppers all took their toll. The Bates spent 20 winters in Arizona (part of 2 in Florida), after Mrs Bates heart attackin 1943. They liked to travel & for many years pulled a trailer through many states. Floyd Bates died 5 Aug 1966 & a year and a half later on 1 Aug 1967, Burch died. They are buried in the Meadowview Cemetery. MrsBates served many years on the cemetery board ahd helped organize the cemetery district. By Grace Bates
