She was married to Mr. Gates on December 23, 1871, going to his home in Berlin township, where they resided until 1909, when they moved to Saranac. Thus their 62 years of married life has been spent in or near Saranac. She had been ill for some time, but before ill health and the years began to slow up their energy, Mr. and Mrs. Gates always took an active part in all that was for the upbuilding of their community. She leaves her husband, who is past 80 years of age, a son, daughter and four grandsons.
