Notes:
Samuel's boyhood was passed on his father's farm in the customary manner of the sons of the average farmer of those days, assisting in season with the work on the farm and attending the neighboring district schools during the winter months. While yet in his teens, in his 19th year, desirous of furthering his studies, he entered the State Normal School at Bridgewater, Massachusetts, from which he was graduated in 1857. For a short time after his graduation he was engaged as a clerk in the general store of Joshua E. Crane, but soon accepted a clerkship in the office of Messrs. Bates, Hyde & Company, manufacturers of cotton gins, at Bridgewater, which was the beginning of what proved to be a most honorable and successful business career. His deportment, application and all around adaptability to the business of the establishment commended itself to his employers and it was not long where he was thoroughly familiar with all the details of the business and given the opportunity of entering the concern as an interested member. This opening was taken advantage of by him and he continued actively identified with the same until his death. Upon the breaking out of the civil war, Mr Gates offered his services to his country, enlisting in the regular army of the United States at Washington, for 5 years, and was detailed for duty in the adjutantgeneral's office in the war department under Marjor Samuel Breck, then assistant adjutantgeneral and afterwards adjutant-general of the United States army In 1864 he was given an honorable discharge by Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton, and he then returned to Bridgewater, resuming his position with Messrs. Bates, Hyde & Company. In 1877 the business was incorporated under the name of the Eagle Cotton Gin Company, and Mr Gates was made treasurer of the new corporation, continuing to discharge most satisfactorily the duties of that office until 1899,when this concern with other similar plants consolidated under the name of the Continental Gin Company, of Birmingham, Alabama, the latter concern being incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware. Mr Gates was then made a director of the new corporation, and from that time until his death continued in charge of the plant at Bridgewater. As he was noted for his generosity, it was naturally to be expected that he would be liberal in his public bequests.
Samuel married Marcia Elizabeth JACKSON on 26 Oct 1871. Marcia (daughter of Jacob JACKSON and Joan HOLMES) was born on 16 Aug 1843; died on 20 Jan 1873; was buried in Mt. Prospect Cemetery, Bridgewater. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
