Clark Bates
File 502 [Image 6]
Heirs-at-law:
Lucretia Bates; Rosetta Briggs; Andrew J. Bates; George Bates; Goodwin Bates; Livonia Stringham; Lodema French
In connection with the pardon of Goodwin Bates, by Governor Winans; it is remembered in Lapeer that when Bates’ father died he left $2,500 to the one who would secure his son’s release. Bates’ brutal murder of his brother is still remembered, and people there are not pleased with the brother’s release even after 30 years.
