With his nephew, Robert Davis, he had gone to the barnyard to begin the chores at 6:30 o'clock. After assigning Davis to the milking, he entered the barn, where his body was discovered by Mrs. Slates an hour later. Mr. Slates had been despondent over ill health for some time. Mr. Slates was married in 1884 to Elizabeth Goff, who preceded him in death in 1904. In 1909 he was married to Martha Gotschall.
