Wife of Ralph Dewey Bates

Daughter of Charles Marvin Rumbaugh and Susie Savanah Mullin

Sister of Louisa, Marvin, Jesse and Alma

From an article which appears in San Saba County History 1856 - 2001, Vol. II, which was published by the San Saba County Historical Commission in 2002.

D.R. and Florence Bates
Dewey Ralph Bates, born May 4, 1900 and Lillie Florence Rumbaugh, born March 31, 1901, were married March 19, 1920.

D.R was the son of George Madison Bates and Effie Zenobia Bundick. He and his siblings were raised in the Bethel Community of San Saba County and the Lohn Community of McCulloch County. His sisters were Estelle [Estel], Bess, and Vivian [and a twin of brother George - this twin died at birth - not mentioned in this article], and his brothers were [Walter Richard - also left out of this article], George, Floyd and Lloyd.

Lillie Florence, the daughter of Charles Marvin Rumbaugh and Susie Savanah Mullin grew up in Oklahoma and Lohn. Her siblings were Louisa, Marvin, Jesse and Alma. Her grandfather, John Rumbaugh, was from Des Moines, Iowa.
D. R. and Florence purchased and moved to the Bates Place in 1938 after roaming to Howard County TX, Oklahoma and California. [I was told that they bought it for the amount owed in taxes...Walter, the eldest, was not given the property]

Their three sons were: Marvin Eugene, born Howard County TX, Jesse Leroy who was born in Oklahoma and Ralph Lloyd, also born in Oklahoma. The boys attended school in Bethel, Locker and Richland Springs. Eugene was drafted out of high school during WWII and served in the Navy. He later received his high school diploma. Leroy joined the Merchant Marines during WWII. He joined the Navy during the Korean conflict along with his brother Ralph. They served their time on board the same ship. Ralph attended Sul Ross College at Alpine after his discharge from the Navy. The three brothers married and raised families. Eugene remained in San Saba County. Leroy and Ralph lived in San Saba County part of the time. Leroy was living in Big Sandy, TX at the time of his death. D.R., Florence, Eugene and Ralph are buried in the Locker Cemetery.
