Notes for Laura Irene Evans: Laura Evans Bates was the curator of the Museum of Fine Arts on High Street in Montgomery for 20 something years. She lived in the museum. As you walk in the museum from the front her apartment was directly to the left. She had a bed room and sitting room. Across the entry way into the museum she had a small kitchen and bathroom. I remember visiting her for two weeks every summer and loving every minute of it. I had free access to the museum and could roam at will when it was closed. One of her jobs was to go from room to room checking it out after the museum was closed. She presided at teas and artists showings upstairs. There was a small kitchen upstairs where she prepared the food for the teas, etc. There was a grand piano sitting on a stage (the stage was only a step up from the main floor). I would play to my hearts content and pretend I was the great artist. A plaque was presented to her on her retirement which hung in the museum until it was torn down and a new museum built. The dresses from "Gone with the Wind" hung in one room on mannequins. I use to love trying the dresses on. One room housed Indian artifacts, one room had the first carriages and then the first automobiles. I could run around and sit in each one and pretend. One room had furniture and walls replicating how the first pioneers lived. The walls were lined with artists works. We called Grandmama Bates "Mama Bates". She graduated for Lilly Jolly School of Nursing in 1909 (then known as Baptist Training Hospital in Baptist Memorial Hospital, Houston, Texas. She was called "Little Evans" there as she was tall for that era. Edward Charles Bates died October 26, 1930.
