Death Summons George Kates
George "Doc" Kates, the man who wouldn't give up, is dead. Kates, a street car employee for 51 years, died at his home, 228 Congress Avenue, Wednesday night, at the age of 71.
Three years ago he underwent an operation. The surgeons found they could do little for him. But Kates came out of the hospital and insisted on going back to work. Until last Monday he drove his East End car. Tuesday he was so ill he was unable to leave his bed. He became steadily worse until death came Wednesday night.
He began street car work as a "hill boy" on the old horse cars. An extra team of horses was used to pull cars up hills and hill boys were employed to take charge of these horses. Later he became a horse car driver and when the lines were electrified he became a motorman. He worked for the Cincinnati Traction Co., and its successor, the Cincinnati Street Railway Co., and was employed in the East End Division for 40 years.
He was a son of Dr. Jacob Kates, pioneer East End physician. He leaves a daughter, Mrs. Mabel Ross, with whom he lived, and a son, Robert Kates. Funeral services will be held Saturday at 2 p.m. at the home. Burial will be in Mt. Washington Cemetery. Source: Cincinnati Post, May 22, 1930, p. 13
