South Kansas Tribune (Independence, KS), Wed., Feb. 27, 1889
LEMAN BATES.
The subject of this sketch died at his residence in this city, Feb. 25, 1889,in his seventy-ninth year. He was born at Litchfield, Conn., Dec. 13, 1810, where he grew up to young manhood. At the age of 23 he married Miss Julia Ann Hyatt, of Danby, New York, and moved to Ohio. After a few years he and his wife moved to Prairie City, Ill. In a few years he moved with his growing family to Racine, Minn., then to Redwing, where his first wife died, Feb. 21,1861. Nov. 19, 1863, he was married to Mrs. Emma R. Allen, of Minneapolis, who has been to him a helpmeet indeed. She now, with four of his children she helped him bring up, mourn over his death, but not as those who have no hope.
In 1867 he moved to Chicago where he lived till 1871, when he came to Montgomery county and bought a claim in Fawn Creek township. Five years ago he left the farm in care of his son Robert, and moved to town that he might enjoy in his declining years good church privileges. And here, under the shadow of the church he best loved, he passed away as peacefully as a babe going to sleep on its mother's bosom.
For almost fifty-five years he was a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal church. He was a quiet, but sincere, every¬day-alike Christian. Everybody who knew him honored him because he was good.
He was a worthy Master Mason for many years, and the members of his Lodge, with many others, followed his remains to Mount Hope Cemetery, Feb. 27, 1889. He was buried from the Methodist church.
