Notes
a. Note:   BORN
  GATES--At Red Deer, Alberta, Canada, Friday, December 27, 1912, to Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Gates, a daughter. Mr. Gates was formerly meat cutter and bookkkeeper for Broders Bros. Mrs. Gates was Estella, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Barrett. _____________________________ I LOVE MY AUNT JUANITA because she always made each one of us feel special and never slighted. She was always interested in what we were doing. I think that she was everyone's favorite aunt. Since she did not have any children of her own, she always said that she could spoil all of us.
  I have never heard Juanita say a bad word about anyone.
  I remember going to Aunt Juanita's and Uncle Nelson's and having Uncle Nelson lead me around on Tony, the horse that had been Mom and Dad's, while Aunt Juanita whipped up something to eat in nothing flat. We always got to go to the barn to "help" give hay to the cows or gather eggs. I also remember being scared of a goose they had that would chase you (or at least I thought he would).
  Serena always remembers playing with the sock monkey that Juanita had. When she was little, if saying we were going to Juanita and Nelson did not register, all I had to do was say we were going to see the lady with the sock monkey and she knew exactly where we were going. - Barbara Herring ________________________________________ The Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore., Nov. 30, 2002 Juanita Rasmussen
