Charles F. Bates was born in Darlington, Wis. Dec. 31, 1878, whre he also died June 4th, 1902, aged 23 years, 5 months and 4 days. He was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. H.T. Bates of this city and has spent most of his life here. Educated in our public school, and afterwards learning the printing business, he continued in the Republican Journal office until two years ago when his health gave way and that dreaded disease consumption began to manifest its deadly work.
On the 27th of Nov. 1900, he went to Colorado and later to New Mexico in search of health, but in vain. Notwithstanding the occasional appearance of more favorable symptoms- inspiring new hope and courage- he returned home after sixteen months of change, nothing bettered but rather grown worse.
For eight weeks he lingered in much feebleness and suffering, though not confined to his bed until a few days before his death when he was seized with a severe heart affection from which he was unable to recover. For some time a member of Co. D. National Guard of this state, yet his health would not permit him to go to the front at the time of the Spanish American war.
From early childhood he was a member of the M.E. sunday school and when about ten years of age he, of his own free choice and will, presented himself on Children's Day for Christian baptism under the ministry of Rev. H.C. Meyers.
He leaves to mourn in addition to his parents one brother, Harry Bates of this city and one sister, Mrs. Wm. Slater of Sumner, Iowa and many surviving friends.
The funeral was held last Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the M.E. church and the remains were laid to rest in the beautiful Union Grove Cemetery.
