Franklin Herbert Gates, b. in Minneapolis, MN, July 13, 1888, m. October 19, 1914 in Dayton, Ohio, Janet McKee, b. October 19, 1892 in Dayton, Ohio.
"Frank" was admitted to Yale in June 1908, received the Phi Beta Kappa key, and graduated in 1912. He loved athletics, and while at Yale was on the varsity tennis team which never lost a college match during that time.
After graduation, he worked at Broadacre, his father's twenty-thousand-acre farm in Scotland and Richmond Counties, North Carolina. He kept the books, conducted all correspondence, did the buying, and looked after all the livestock. With his brother Russell, he planted a peach orchard of more than seventeen thousand trees which the state horticulturist pronounced the finest in North Carolina. Frank subsequently sold it for $80,000. Broadacre was sold in 1920 and Frank moved his family to Montclair, NJ.
He completed the business course at Alexander Hamilton and took a position at Chase National Bank. In 1926 he became a second vice-president in charge of new business activities, and later he was promoted to full vice-president of the bank. Mr. Gates was a professional photographer and enjoyed sailing with his family in Maine during the summers. He died of multiple strokes in Montclair, NJ, November 6, 1945, age 57, and was buried at Mount Hebron Cemetery, Montclair, NJ.
