(Special to The State Journal)
Winchester, April 20. --- John T. Bates died April 17 at his home in this city at the age of 75 years.
Mr. Bates was born in Percithe (Forsyth) county, Ga., March 22, 1836, and at the age of 18 married Mrs.(Miss) Rhoda Prater. To this union were born four children, Henry, John T., Samuel and Margaret, who died in infancy.
When the civil war broke out in 1861 he enlisted in the confederate army. At the close of the war he came to Naples, Ill., where his wife died.
He afterwards married Mrs. Alice Ulery and made his home in Adams county, near Quincy. To them were born three children, George C., Frank B. and Edith Hazel, who died while an infant.
He was baptized in the Baptist faith, but eight years ago he united with the Presbyterian church of this city, where he had lived the last years of his life.
He always has been a good, honest, upright man in all his dealings with his men, trying his best to live a christian life. He was a good loving husband and a loving father. He leaves to mourn his loss a loving wife, four sons, one stepdaughter, Miss Hattie May Ulery; fifteen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
The funeral was held Wednesday morning at 10:30 o'clock at the Presbyterian church and was attended by a large congregation. Rev. Robert Carson delivered the discourse, after which Elder J. H. Coats made appropriate remarks. He was buried in the Winchester cemetery.
