Hi, Bates decendants and such. It sure is fun to read about my family history here. I really enjoyed the information that my Aunt Delora Dummer put together on my Great Grandfather Arlin H. Bates and his father etc. He also had a son Arlin H. Bates Jr. who married Isabelle Jenkins, they were the parents of my Dad Marvin along with his sister Delora and their other siblings..Left still is Uncle Garth. What a neat man he is as well. My dad Marvin and my mother Beverly Jane Stansfield together had 3 daughters, Rebecca Jane, Myself, Paula Louise, and my youngers sister Debra. My dad had a first wife Nadine whom he had 6 children with they are Kathy, Renee, Mary, Linda, Bonnie, and Stephen Bates. Renee, and linda are deceased. Marvin and Beverly were together for almost 40 years, what great memories I treasure. He passed away Dec. 7th 1998, and 8 months later his sweet wife, my mother, Beverly- passed away peacefully in her sleep. I along with my siblings and my children miss them dearly. If any relative would like to say hello, please feel free to contact me. Paula Allen 435-229-9163
