      ARTHUR W. BATES,* ice dealer, and the owner of some valuable
land within the city limits of Portsmouth, N. H., is a native of England, born
October 15, 1861. His parents were William and Sarah (Harriman) Bates,
both of English birth, who came to the United States a number of years ago,
the father, a stocking weaver by trade, bringing with him some fancy stock-
ing looms. They are both living and reside in Portsmouth with their son,
the subject of this sketch. Their children were: George R.; Aner, wife of
George Young; F1orence, wife of George Kemp, and Arthur W ., who was
the second born.
      Arthur W. Bates acquired his education in the common schools, after
which he worked for some years in the cotton mills. He then moved onto a
farm of 30 acres within the limits of Portsmouth, which he bought and one
half of which he has since sold in lots, having left about fifteen acres, which
tract is situated on a street car line on Middle Road. Mr. Bates is unmarried.
In politics he votes independently, using his judgment as to the qualifications
of candidates for office. He belongs to the Knights of the Golden Eagle and
attends the Episcopal church.
