From the Richmond
Dispatch,
7/19/1861, p. 2
The Remains of
the late Micajah Bates, a most excellent and kind-hearted man and exemplary
citizen, was yesterday conveyed to their last resting place in Holywood [Hollywood] Cemetery, attended by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and
sympathizing friends. This was a fitting tribute to the memory of one whose walk
and conversation among us for many years, has been so unobtrusive, courteous and
kind, yet so useful in private and public life.
