Y. on September 1st, 1836 and died at his home at Iowa City on August 17th, 1920 having reached the age of almost eighty-four years. He came to this place in 1880 and made this his home for many years; he resided on a farm west of town and later moved into town; he was an active member of the Congregational Church during his long residence here and a member of the Masonic Order and also of the Odd fellow lodge; he had become a Mason in 1867 making his membership in that order one of fifty-three years. Mr. Bates was a soldier of the Civil War and the W. R. C. was represented at the funeral service. The family moved to Iowa City in 1910 but has made frequent visits to this place since that time; and the question of returning here has often been discussed by them. Mrs. L. A. Chafa and Mrs. R. B. Green are the sisters of Mr. Bates. Mr. Bates was highly respected by those who knew him; he was an exemplary man in his home and in the community; he was an officer of the church for many years and was always a regular attendant at its services. Since living at Iowa City he and his family attended the Congregational church of that place and were active in all its departments of work. Besides his widow, Mrs. Ann Bates, he leaves a son, Arthur Bates of Iowa City, and three daughters to mourn his departure; the daughters are Mrs. Grace Tolen of Cameron, Mo., Mrs. Rilla Britton of Kansas City and Miss Flossie Bates who is a teacher in the Cherokee high school. Mr. Bates was ill for a few weeks and knew the seriousness of his ailment. The body was brought here, accompanied by his widow, son and daughter Flossie. Arrangements had been made for the funeral service on Thursday afternoon but as the trip from Casey was a serious one on account of the rain, the funeral was held at ten o'clock on Friday morning. Rev. JH. J. Wilkins, of Baxter, a pastor of the Congo Church during the residence of Mr. Bates and an old family friend, conducted the service and it was attended by many old friends. The Masonic Order attended in a body and had charge of the service at the cemetery where the interment took place, flowers were sent by friends, and the sympathy of the community is extended the sorrowing ones.
