HUBBARD GATEs, a prominent farmer of the town of Mondovi, was born in Kirky, Vt., July 22, 1837, and was a son of Hubbard and Henrietta (Nicker son) Gates, the former of whom was born in 1803 and died in 1876, and was by occupation a farmer. His father, John Gates, the grandfather of our sub ject, died in 1854. The family came to the United States from England in the early colonial days. Henrietta, the mother of our subject, was born in Cape May, Mass., in 1806, and died in 1880. Her father, Joseph, was also born in Massachusetts, and was of English descent, and died at the advanced age of seventy-three years. Hubbard Gates spent his early life on the home farm, going to school. He immigrated to Wisconsin in 1856, and engaged in farming until his enlistment, which occurred October 3, 1861, in Company B, First battalion, Thirteenth United States infantry, and was attached to the Fif teenth army corps. He was ordered to Jefferson Barracks, Mo., where he re mained until February, 1862, when he was ordered to Alton, Ill., to guard prisoners of war until August 1, 1862, when he was sent to Louisville, Ky., then to Memphis, Tenn., to join Grant, and then to Wicksburg, and was in the first attack on Vicksburg, two days' battle. He assisted in the capture of Arkansas Post January 11, 1863, after which he returned to Wicksburg, and worked on the canal projected by Grant to cut off Wicksburg from a water way. He also participated in the following battles: Chickasaw Bayou, December 29, 1862; Arkansas Post, Champion Hills, May 16, 1863; Black river, May 17, 1863; Haines Bluff, May 1, 1863; Vicksburg, May 19, 1863; Jackson, July 10, 1863, and Colliersville, October 11, 1863. In the charge of Wicksburg, over forty per cent of the men in this battalion were lost. After the capture of that place his regiment was ordered after Gen. Johnson, and captured Jackson, Miss., July 10, 1863, then went into summer quarters at Big Black river. In Sep tember his regiment was ordered to Memphis, and he was taken sick there and sent to the hospital, and was there until February, 1864, when he rejoined his regiment at Huntsville, Ala., then was sent to Nashville, Tenn., and remained there until his discharge, October 3, 1864, when he returned home and again engaged in farming in Mondovi valley, where he has since remained. Febru ary 15, 1866, he married Mary Rafferty, who was born in Illinois in 1849, a daughter of Peter and Amelia (Towles) Rafferty. Peter was killed in the bat tle of the Wilderness May 5, 1864, and Amelia died at the age of forty-eight years.
