"... After receiving a common school education, Elias remained at home until his marriage, March 31, 1850 to Julia F. PLANT, a daughter of Moses and Eliza (NAIDEN) PLANT. Mrs. GATES' parents were both natives of Staffordshire, England, where they were married and lived until 1833, when they came to America and settled in Ohio. Later they went to Canada, and resided there until 1858, when they came to Michigan. They settled successively in Orange, Ionia and Berlin Townships. The father is now eighty years of age. The mother died in 1876. They were the parents of eight children, five of whom are living. One son, Samuel, lost his life at Savannah, Ga., while serving in the Union army.

Mrs. GATES was born in England, June 6, 1832, and being married in Canada, in March, 1851, came to Michigan in 1855. She has shown the sterling qualities which characterized the early pioneer mothers. The patience and strong endurance of trials which they showed in their devotion to family interests, their tender care of their children, and the wise provision for their education overcame many obstacles and hindrances to the family progress. Mrs. GATES made a visit to England in 1880. Except five years which they spent in Williamston, the subject of this sketch and his estimable wife have lived continuously on the home farm since coming to this State...

They are the happy parents of four children, namely: Henry F., born in 1852, married Julia MOORE and lives in this township; he has one child. Eliza I., born in 1853 is the wife of Harlon LaDUC; she has three children and lives in Ingham County. Mary, born in 1861 is the wife of George WHITTY and lives in Nashville, Mich., and has one child. Helen, born in 1864, is the wife of George H. MYERS, lives on section 29 and has one child.

Mr. and Mrs. GATES are earnest, useful members of the Methodist Episcopal Church and have trained up their children in the church and Sunday-school..."
