BATES was employed in Fairfield over a 50-year period before his health forced him to retire. He was previously employed for 25 years at the Fair store on the the south side of the square, and for 25 years at the Dexter plant.

Last rites will be held Monday at 2 p.m. at the Raymond funeral home with the Rev. James Dendler in charge. Burial will be in Evergreen cemetery.
