- The 1924 obituary for George E. Sprague lists a survivingsister as NELLIE BATES of Apalachin, NY.
From William G. Sprague, correspondent, note of October26th, 2006
Nellie was born in July 1866, the same month that hermother, Cynthia Crosby Sprague died. It is highlyprobable that Cynthia Crosby Sprague may have diedduring the birth of Nellie Sprague. In the 1870 and1880 census reports, Nellie Sprague is not found residingwith any family members. Her name can not be found withcertainty living in other homes. It appears she wasfarmed out or orphaned throughout her youth. She firstappears at age 33 in 1900 married to German Batesand living in the Town of Owego, Tioga County, NY. She isnot found in the 1930 census. Census reports stateshe had two children, Mary L. Bates, aka MarionL. Bates, and another unknown child who died in infancy.

- (Research):From William G. Sprague, correspondent, note of April 11,2014
I know Nellie's age jumps around a little here, but herbirth of July 1866 in the 1900 census matches her gravemarker of 1866 – 1944. However, German's Birth yearin 1900 is way off from what is cut into his grave marker.It looks to me like their age and birth dates didn't meanmuch to them over the years. [2]
