But the odd thing here is Elizabeth has 3 grandchildren with her and the last name of each grandchild has a line drawn thru it the name begins with a O or C The line thru the name makes it appear the grandchildren are named BATES as well One grandson is CHARLEY JR 8 BORN fEB 1891 . BUT Charles age 22 is single and one daughter of Elizabeth's named IDA age 26 is single with 1 child. So its not clear who was the father or mother to CHARLEY Jr age 8 or what his real last name is The other grandchildren grouped with young Charley are LILLIE 8 July 1893 and HERBERT 5 June 1895
