The resolutions of the latter body, of which he was presiding officer, state that, "in the death of Bro. Bates, we mourn the loss of an excellent, honest, true hearted man and mason: one who has endeared himself to his brethren, by the urbanity of his manners, the uprightness of his deportment, and the benevolence of his heart."The altar of the chapter was also clothed with mourning; and we understand that a monument has been erected to the memory of Brother Bates, in the beautiful Cemetery at Mt.
