- They had a live-in servant, Mattie Stith, 15 year old girl. She was also shown as attending school. Their next door neighbors had two Stith children living there, siblings of the wife, a 22 year old male working as a day laborer, and a 17 year old girl attending school. My guess is that Mattie Stith is the youngest of those children, so Eli and Eliza Bates took in the (probably orphaned) youngest sister of their next door neighbor, providing her a home and schooling in exchange for taking care of them.

Witness Role: servant: Name: Mattie U. Stith
