Family Record Fraktur for Bates Family Going Back to 1820s Doc Printed in 1866 Framed with Old Glass Shingle Wood Slat Back

Here is a great Antique Fraktur piece for your buying consideration. Would make a great gift or keep for yourself.

This Fraktur covers the Bates family from the 1820s into the early 1900s. More history on the family to follow, just started to research the family members.

The original parent's section of the fraktur is not really legible. Not sure if sun exposure or just the old ink that turns brown problem. The piece has old wavy glass over the fraktur, that is not blistered or cracked.

In the births, there is an Ella M Bates whom was born in February 1873. She was married to a Leon Morris in October 1900. They had 2 children together. A Glenn B Morris born in March 1903 and a Ferne M Morris born in November 1912. Ella may have also been married to a Frank LaPoint.

Also in the marriages section is a Irvin Bates who married an Inez Floyd(e?) in November 1900. Irvin is probably Ella's brother. Irvin, Ella, and Lewellin were Aaron and Susan Bates' 3 children. See below.

His parents were Aaron (1836-1909), also born in West Spring Creek, PA & Susan Bates (1843-1920) whom are noted in the Memoriam section of the fraktur. Lewellin's headstone is out on findagrave. He is buried in Kansas City, MO.

Aaron Bates' father was a Nicholas Bates who may be the party noted in the parents section of the fraktur.
