Daily Ledger Fairfield, Iowa Thursday Dec. 3, 1942 Pg. 3 Col. 4 (Note: uncertain for the long gap between the death and this obituary being published) OBITUARY PERRY O. BATES Perry Oliver was the fourth and last surviving of the eight children of Ephrain (sic. Ephraim) and Mary Bates. Born on October 19, 1857 on the home farm in Buchanan township, of Jefferson county, Iowa he lived to be 2 days past eighty five years of age. All of his active farming life was spent in Buchanan township until he retired to Fairfield in 1920. About ten years ago he began dividing his time between Fairfield and Hollister, Calif., where his daughter, Edna and son Charles lived. It was at Edna's home he passed away on Wednesday, October 21, 1942. On February 16, 1886 he was married to Bertha Belle Welker and lived happily in this union till she passed away on Sept. 6, 1935. Seven children were born to them, six of whom survive. A son, Arthur died in infancy (sic. born 1907 and died 1908). The surviving loved ones are Carl, Vern and Glen, all of Fairfield; Mrs. Edna Loofbourrow of Hollister, Cal., Mrs. Vera Hoover of Davenport, Iowa and Charles of Manteca, Calif. Besides these there are 10 grandchildren and 2 great-Grandchildren (sic.) as well as a wide circle of relatives and friends who will mourn his passing. Perry Bates was one of Jefferson county's good and influential farmers. His character was above question and his interests in every worthwhile thing are well-known. He was a member of the First Christian church of Fairfield, Ia. and through years served on its Church Board as Deacon and in other capacities in the church life. He was vitally interested in the life of the church and never missed its service when able to attend and gave his time and money for worthy interests. His death was entirely unexpected. He had visited in Fairfield and been with all of his children. Returning to California he was stricken with a heart attack two days after arrival at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Edna Loofbourrrow, passing away in less than an hour. There were services in the church at Hollister, Calif., and on arrival of the body in Fairfield. Funeral services were held from the First Christian church of Fairfield, conducted by the minister, S. P. Williamson. The hymns were sung by Mrs. L. W. Van Nostrand and Mrs. A. C. Johnson with Mrs. William Stever at the organ. Pallbearers were John Blair, Owen Weaver, John Engstrand, William Stever, J.N. Calhoun and Sam Luckman. The remains were interred by his wife in Evergreen cemetery.
