Oral History Transcript, Transcript of Interview with Dewitt Bates, April 1984, Prince William County Historical Commission Oral History Project, by Tom Nelson, Transcribed by Sally J. Borman, Manassas, Va.
Tom Nelson: "I first met Dewitt in the hospital when we were both patients in a local hospital. I was on the Prince William Historic Commission providing oral histories of select individuals. After leaving the hospital I went back and started taping Dewitt. I finally went to his home and interviewed his wife Gladys and a daughter. They provided family photos for the history. He took copies of the finished history to his church as he was so proud to see his life in print."
