Otis B Gates: Forgery

Otis B Gates was born about 1855 in Georgia and he was married.




Inmate #45187 San Quentin
Rec: 7 Apr 1928
Crime: Forgery

He was transferred to Folsom as Inmate
#16794
Rec: 19 Mar 1931
Term: 10 years
Age 76







His occupations were:

1928 Farmer
1931 Salesman
1930 Gardner 

Why would an old man commit forgery???? I am baffled, he was married according to the 1930 census while in San Quentin Prison.

I did not find any records for him nor his wife. I found one newspaper clipping.
