Was living at 325 Bannatyne Ave., Winnipeg. Wife's name was Gwen. Have several letters from him to my grandmother in Ohio. I believe they were possibly half brother and sister. Also that F.M. Bates was born in Missouri. If anybody is researching this name and has any information I would appreciate it. You can email me direct. Thank you. Marilyn Browder - [email protected]
