Of course everyone realizes that we are dealing with GARGANTUA. I think that the Bates were prob. the most prolific family in the Patten area, and really were THE clan of Moro (and prob. most of the population). The Grants might edge them closely in the Patten area, but not "officially". I'm not a "Bates" (but then, who knows?). But I do believe that they are a fantastic family, well-deserving of a lot of research. I've met a few descendants, and they're still bright-eyed, intelligent people, I'll tell ya!

Washburn of Madison died suddenly at his home on Pine Street, Sunday night at the age of 52, after an illness of about ten weeks of tuberculosis. "While his relatives and friends knew that it was only a matter of time before he must pass on still the end at this time was wholly unexpected and came as a great shock to the entire community of which he was a loved and respected member. "Mr. Washburn was a member of the Baptist church and always an active worker in the choir, the church and the Sunday School and in all three various places it will be hard to find a man, always so ready and cheerful and always at his post. "Mr. Washburn had been assistant janitor at the library and the school buildings until failing health in the spring forced him to give up active work, and by his unfailing courtesy and faithfulness to his duties endeared himself to all with whom he came in contact."
