The Ionia Daily Sentinel, Thursday, July 20, 1911
Friends here received word Wednesday of the death in Jackson Tuesday afternoon 
of Mrs. Susan Bates Knickerbocker, a sister of the late Wm. S. and Philo T. 
Bates.  Mrs. Knickerbocker was one of the early pioneers of Ionia county, 
coming here a child of eight years, with her father, Philo Bates, in 1836.  
Her father’s death followed two years later.  In her girlhood she taught 
school in the little stone school house upon the Sessions farm.  In 1850 she 
married Chas. R. Knickerbocker, of Jackson, and that city has ever since been 
her home.  She was the last living member of the Philo Bates family.  Seymour 
B. Gorham, a nephew of deceased, left Wednesday evening to attend the funeral 
to be held this Thursday morning.
