Joshua Henry Bates
Joshua Bates was born on April 2, 1895. He was the oldest of seven children. Half of his siblings were boys and the other were girls. The names of the boys were Andrew, Roy, and Lorenzo Bates. The girls names were
Dorothy, Effie, and Ruth Bates. One of his siblings died around three years old in 1910. This was probably very hard on Joshua since he was only 15 .
His mother’s name was Eliza Peterson and his father’s name was Joshua

In September, 1917, Joshua had already left home for training and was at Camp Lewis, Washington. While there, Joshua’s father sent him a telegram from his hotel (document 18) saying that he was in town to visit him. They took pictures together while his father was there (document 19).
