Comments: Mary Elsie Gates (Nee: ) | Ottumwa IA United States | 1851-1900 | Comments: I have an old photograph of Haley and Elsie GATES which was taken at the Gillett Studio in Ottumwa, IA in the 1890's or early 1900's. The two appear to be about 2 to 5 years old at the time the photograph was taken. Information is also included on the back of the photograph ordering a colorized version of the photograph. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding the girls and their families: Hallie Delphia or Delphina GATES was b. 26 Sept 1896 in Ottumwa, IA to parents William Alford GATES (1855 or 1856-1911) and Sarah Jane “Jennie” JOHNSON (1858 or 1859-1919) who were married 1 Apr 1879 in Fairfield, IA. Hallie was one of 9 children born to this couple including Olive “Ollie” May or Mae; Sarah Edith; Charles William; Bert Leroy “Roy”; Clyde Raymond “Ray”; Laura; Mary Elise; Mollie A.; and Hallie Delphia or Delphina GATES, all born between 1880 and 1896. Hallie died 21 Nov 1913 in Ottumwa, IA and is buried in the Shaul Cemetery in that town. At the time of her death, she was working as a seamstress and was survived by her mother, brothers Ray and Charles GATES both of Minnesota; Clyde GATES of Ottumwa, IA; and her sister Mrs. Ollie RHOADES of Nebraska. Mary Elise GATES was b. 13 Feb 1894 in Ottumwa, IA to the same parents. Mary Elise died 6 May 1913 in Ottumwa, IA and is buried in the Shaul Cemetery in that town. Like her sister Hallie, she was also a seamstress and died due to complications of an appendicitis and tuberculosis. I would like to get the photograph to a family member and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be. Thanks, Shelley cardiels@comcast.net
