Edward P. Gates, lawyer and jurist, was born March 5, 1845, at Lunnenburgh, Vermont. When he was five years old his parents moved to Illinois. He graduated with the highest honors from Knox College, Galesburg, in 1867. His parents had moved to Independence, Mo., and he came West to join them. For a year he read law in the office of Comingo & Slover, and in 1868 was admitted to the bar. In 1877 he formed a partnership with William H. Wallace, enduring for twenty years.
At the election in 1896 Judge Gates was elevated to the Circuit bench. The demands of a large and important law practice have not prevented Judge Gates from becoming well versed in literature. His private library is one of the most complete in the city.
Judge Gates was married November 4, 1886, to Miss Pattie Field Embrey, of Richmond, Ky.
