- "History of Pittsburgh & Environs":
Heber M. Gates, prominent in many circles of Clairton, Pa., also identified with the progress of the community in the public service as well as industrially and fraternally, was born in St. Charles, Minn., Jan 20, 1872, a son of Mason Hulet Gates. The father was born in Elizabethtown, NY, April 24, 1834 and when still a young man emigrated to Minnesota becoming one of the first settlers in St. Charles. He died Oct. 8, 1813 in his eightieth year of his age. He married Edna Bingham, who was born in Hennysville, Canada, August 14, 1836, and died September 14, 1886. Her family were old settlers of Vermont, and lived near Lake Champlain.
Receiving a practical education in the public schools of his native town, Mr. Gates, as a young man assisted his father as clerk in his general store in St. Charles, remaining with him until 1891. He then moved to Joliet, Illinois, where he was employed as a clerk with the Illinois Steel Company, from May 1891 until June 1902. On July 1, 1902, he came to Clairton to enter upon his duties as paymaster in the Clairton Steel Works, which position he still holds. Widely known in the community through his business position, Mr. Gates was long since sought for the public service. He was elected borough clerk of Clairton in 1905, and has since been re-eleced continuously, his present term to expire on Jan. 1, 1922. He is a staunch Republican. Fraternally, Mr. Gates is well known being a member of McKeesport Lodge, No. 641, Free and Accepted Masons; McKeesport Chapter Royal Arch Masons; and the Modern Woolmen of America. He is a member of the Clairton Club and of the South Hills Country Club and is a member of the Episcopal Church of Clairton.
Mr. Gates married, December 25, 1893, in Joliet, Illinois, Susie A. Brown, daughter of Halsted and Lucretia (Lewis) Brown. Mr. Brown was prominent as a hotel man in Red Bank, New Jersey for many years, and died there in 1889. Mr. and Mrs. Gates have five children; Cecil Walter, born Jan. 21, 1895, Reginald H. born Dec. 24, 1897, Wilbur B. born Oct. 24, 1905, Edith Margaret, born Nov. 26, 1906, and Robert Mason, born Jan. 26, 1914.
