A wave of sadness swept over the community on January 9th when the death Angel took from us a beloved friend and father, Harley Anderson Bates. He died from the 4th attack of pneumonia and bore his sickness patiently to the end.
Harley Bates first married Miss Maggie Garland and to this union was born one daughter, Mrs. Annie Mae Tallent, who was only three years old when her mother died. Harley then married Miss Ada Bell and to this union were born seven children, Misses Fannie, Kate, Florence and Ada Burnett and Messrs. Ray and Tim Bates. (only six names given in article)
He will be missed not only in his home but in the community at large. Every one who knew him loved and spoke well of him.
At the time of his death Harley was 41 years, 4 months and 12 days old.
