Biography

Frederick was born in 1886 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the son of Frederick Taylor Gates and Emma Lucile Cahoon. When he was about five years old, his family moved to Montclair, NJ, where his father worked as a business manager for John D. Rockfeller. Frederick spent the remainder of his childhood there. He graduated from xx high school in about 1905, did his undergraduate studies at Yale University (1909) and a medical PhD from Johns Hopkins (1913). He then pursued a career in research working for the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research (which his father had helped to establish). He married Dorothy Olcott in Duluth, MN in 1917, and they had five children together. He served in World War I teaching and doing research in the U.S. as part of the Medical Corps. After the war, he continued his research position at Rockefeller, eventually based at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA. He died there tragically in 1933 after falling and fracturing his skull. He is buried in the Mount Hebron Cemetery, Upper Montclair, NJ.

Most Prominent Wedding of Season at St. Paul's, Avenue of Pines and Gothic Lines of Easter Lilies Are Setting at Gates-Olcott Marriage: Tall cathedral candelabra twined with southern smilax and an avenue of northern pine from chancel rail to altar, where Easter lilies backed the Gothic arch, made a long aisle of green for the bridal procession and a lovely setting for the marriage service of Miss DOROTHY OLCOTT, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, William J. Olcott, and Dr. FREDERICK LA MONT GATES of New York at St. Paul's Episcopal church last night. Dr. A. W. Ryan read the service. Gowned in white satin made en traine, with a tulle veil held by a filet of orange blossoms, the bride, carrying a bouquet of lilies of the valley, leaned upon the arm of her father as they moved along the "avenue of pines" toward the altar. The ushers, William Harrison, E.F. Chapin jr., W.C. Agnew jr., Fred E. Wolvin, Leo Schmied and Horace F. Ferry of Superior, led the bridal procession. They were followed by the bridesmaids, Miss Alice Gates, sister of the bridegroom, and Miss Janet Rane of Waban, Mass., a cousin of the bride, who wore duplicate gowns of green satin and tulle, and carried big bouquets of pink snapdragon. Miss Elizabeth Olcott, as her sister's maid of honor, was gowned in apricot shade of taffeta and she carried snapdragons to match her gown. Following her came the little flower girl, Sallie Simonds, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Simonds, formerly of Superior, wearing a white frock with green tulle bow and carrying lilies of the valley. Before the ceremony which began at 8 o'clock, an organ program, especially selected by the bride, was played. The music was under the direction of Miss Mary Syer Bradshaw. The processional was the Lohengrin Bridal Chorus, which was sung by Miss Bradshaw, Mrs. August Frey, Mrs. James F. Walsh, Mrs. C.B. Gilbert, A.R. Burquist, Dr. F. A. Amundson, George Suffel and D.G. Gearhart. Following the betrothal service when the bridal couple passed from the chancel to the altar, Miss Bradshaw sang a bridal prayer, "Oh Heavenly Father," (Coombs). The "Northfield Benediction" was sung after the benediction, and the "Tannhauser" march was played as recessional. A reception followed the service at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Olcott, East First street. The guests were received in the music room where tall silver vases held American Beauty roses forming a rarely beautiful color combination with the French gray tone of the room. The drawing room had its rich coloring emphasized by huge bowls of gladioli and snapdragon. In the dining room the bridal white reigned. From the cut crystal center light hung wreathed in asparagus fern showers of white sweet peas and lilies of the valley and crystal candlesticks held tall tapers that lights the sideboard where the wedding cake reposed in a wreath of ferns. Mrs. Olcott was gowned in dark blue satin and silver. Mrs. Gates wore a robe of rose point over cream satin. The bride's going away costume was a sport suit of brown and orange, Her bridal bouquet was made of many small bouquets which she gave to her bridal party and mother and mother-in-law. Dr. Gates and his bride have gone east where they will be at home in New York late in the autumn. Dr. Gates is an associate of the Rockefeller institute and is a graduate of Johns Hopkins and Yale universities. Mrs. George W. Strickler and daughter, Marian, of Minneapolis, were guests of Mrs. W.C. Winton over the wedding. Eugene M. Best and daughter, Alice, of Minneapolis, were also wedding guests who were entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Edward Mendenhall. A large party, comprising the out-of-town guests at the wedding, will be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Olcott on a trip to the range today. They will all leave for their homes tomorrow. The visitors are Mr. and Mrs. F.T. Gates of Montclair, NJ, parents of the bridegroom, and their daughters, Alice, Grace and Lucia, and their son, Percival; Mrs. F.W. Rane of Waban, Mass., and Mrs. C.M. Hammond of Detroit Michigan, sisters of Mrs. Olcott; Mrs. Eugene G. Clapp and daughter, Mary, of Boston; Mrs. Louise Cornell of Orange, NJ; Mrs. Frank B. Kellogg, Mr. and Mrs. F.G. Otis, Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin F. Meyers of St. Paul and Mr. and Mrs. C.C. Bovey of Minneapolis."
