BATES, May 6th, 1892. The deceased was unmarried and lived alone near the XI Ranch. He was at the Byers post office in the forenoon apparently in good spirits. In the afternoon one of the ranchmen chanced to call at his house and found him lying on the bed dead. No evidence of foul play was visible. A half finished letter was found lying on the table addressed to a brother stating that he was ill and requesting that he come and take charge of his business affairs, also the disposition to be made of the same. The coroner's verdict was that he died a natural death, probably heart trouble. The body was brought to Meade Saturday evening and awaited the arrival of a brother from the east on Monday's train and then laid to rest in Graceland cemetery.--Meade Republican. The deceased was a brother of B.L. BATES, of Liberal, and was well known by some of our merchants. ==== KS-FOOTSTEPS Mailing List ==== File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/ks/seward/obits/b/bates1913ob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/ksfiles/ File size: 1.6 Kb
