- A copy of the Williamsport Daily Sun has been sent us which announces the death of our erstwhile fellow townsman Myron S. Bates with a brief sketch of his business career. His death occurred Monday evening last of pneumonia following a severe cold and pleurisy. The Sun say his condition was serious from the first, and his advanced age was somewhat against his recovery. He was conscious to within two hours of his death.. A sketch of his lifej follows:
H« was born at Sharon, Ct. Feb. 3 , 1827. At about the age of six years he moved with his parents to Yates county, New York, and at the age of 16 he entered a mercantile house in the town of Geneva, New York, where he remained until August, 1858, when he came to Williamsport and engaged in the grocery and feed business. From 1858 to 1886 he was in business at the same stand, 48 East Third Street, where his son, Edward M. Bates is now his successor. At that time he retired to private life.
Mr. Bates never entered public or political life, he was not a lodge man, but for forty years was a member of the Presbyterian Church of the Covenant, and was a constant attendant at services.
In September, 1857, Mr. Bakes was married to Isabella Mabie, sister of the late A. K. Mabie, the ceremony being performed at the house of John B. Hall, now the home of the Y. W.C. A. To this union there was born three sons and one daughter, all of whom are living — Charles. H. Bates, Edward M. Bates, William M Bates and Mrs. Thos. B. Strauser, all of this city. Mrs. Bates preceded her husband to the grave, passing away June 18th last. Besides his children Mr. Bates leaves one brother and two sisters — Solomon P. Bates of Benton, N. Y., Mrs. Harriet McFarren of Penn Yan, N. Y. and Mrs. Homer Conrad of Richfield Springs, |N. Y.
