    Notes:

    Name:
    Mary was daughter of John Burns Gates I and Sarah A. Turner, pioneers of Skagit county and Whidbey Island. Mr. and Mrs. Gates resided in Missouri until 1871, coming to Washington when Mary was only two years old. For five years much of Mr. Gates' time was spent on Whidbey Island, working for others. During that time he cleared twenty-three acres of the virgin forest and commenced the orchard and meadow land home which was his until death.

    April 18, 1884 Mary was married at the age 15 to Dr. William M. Thompson. Dr. Thompson was in his second year of practice in Skagit county, having moved from Missouri just as the county was splitting off from Whatcom. The Thompson's lived in Skagit City, and the Dr. ranged all over the western part of the county from La Conner to Mount Vernon. In those days before telephones, he was often summoned by a young boy of family who would guide him overland or row him by canoe to wherever someone was sick. William was once arrested for practicing in logging camps up in the woods without a license because his license had not yet arrived from Missouri. He died in 1902 after accidentally drinking poison. Marys step-son Ned Thompson made history in early Mount Vernon when he teamed up with a partner named Davis in the original T&D card room once on Myrtle Street.

    Mary was married 2nd to 'Bordy' Moore & 3rd to Charles Eck. In the 1910 Census of King County she is listed as a widow head of household, occupation Cook. 1920 Census Omak, WA indicates that Mary was a widow, & a 'Farmer.' She is remembered to be a interesting & 'pretty resourceful female.' 'Would go out fishing before daybreak and catch a batch of fish for breakfast.' Once 'taking a rifle to some intruders on the property, think they were from the local tax offices.' At one time 'her hair was very thin and had a near bald spot on the top, so she pulled her long hair up in a knot on the top to cover it.'
