SIDNEY T. BATES
Died—At his residence in Akron, Ohio, February 20, 1904, Sidney T. Bates, aged seventy-one years.
The deceased was born, reared and educated in the state of Vermont, near Lake Champlain, in sight of the historic old Fort Ticonderoga. His boyhood surroundings imbued his spirit with so strong a patriotic fervor that at the age of thirteen years he left home and kindred and enlisted as a drummer boy in the United States army, then engaged in a war with Mexico, and was stationed on Governor's Island, in New York harbor. Being an excellent performer on the snare drum, he was detailed for duty on the island, much to his regret, as he preferred that his drum beats should be heard by the soldiers in Mexico.
After several months of close confinement on the island, he apprised his widowed mother, by letter, of his whereabouts, when his uncle (his guardian) secured his release from military service on a writ 5 habeas corpus.
Young Bates then went to learn the printing trade, at which he remained until the bombardment of Fort Sumter reverberated throughout the land in April, 1861, when he laid down his stick and rule, and. taking up his drum, joined the Second New Hampshire Infantry Regiment, then responding to President Lincoln's call for troops to put down the rebellion. After serving three months "at the front," he re-enlisted in the Fifth New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry Regiment for three years, and was with that famous regiment in the many heated battles fought by the Army of the Potomac. Near the close of the war he again re-enlisted in the Fifteenth New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry. When Richmond was taken and Lee surrendered, thus bringing the civil war to a close, this brave soldier was mustered out, there being no further strife between north and south.
Veteran Bates then secured a position in the government printing office at Washington, D. C, but subsequently went to Jacksonville, Fla., where he established and edited a daily newspaper during the "reconstruction days." Returning to Washington, he was again employed in the government printing office as proofreader; but soon becoming tired of Washington life, he moved with his family to Akron and obtained employment with the Werner Printing Company.
Carrying a typographical union card, Mr. Bates affiliated himself with Akron Typographical Union No. 182, and for many years was one of its most attentive and influential members. Several vears since, being of an unsettled disposition, he again returned to Washington and took up his old position of proofreader, once more becoming a member of Columbia Typographical Union No. 101.
His health failing, he recently returned to Akron, where he remained but a short time, when the printer, the author, the soldier heard the muffled drum summoning him to join his departed comrades in the bivouac of the dead.
In literature, the pen of Mr. Bates has given the reading public many poems of merit, books of fiction, and magazine articles breathing of elevating thought for humanity.
In consideration of his patriotic citizenship, manly worth and unswerving fidelity in the cause of organized labor. Akron Typographical Union recognizes in Brother Sidney T. Bates an exemplary life worthy of emulation.
We shall miss his wise, conservative counsel, his kind greeting and hearty handshake; hut the memory of his noble manhood and warm friendship remains with us and causes us to deplore his death.
To his family we extend our heartfelt sympathy in their sad bereavement.
We inscribe the above upon the records of No. 182, and request its publication in our official organ—The Typographical Journal.
