Histórico
The Cates family of Miami, Florida included Dennis; his wife Elmira; and their children, Alice, Samuel and Henry. The family patriarch, Dennis Cates, was born in Rock Sound, Eleuthera, Bahamas. He worked as a farmer and ship captain, settling in Cape Sable as a coconut proprietor in 1884, where he planted over 40,000 coconut palms. After being granted a sum of the land he managed, he settled as a pioneer in Miami in the early 1900s, selling coconut oil and copra. He worked as a carpenter in his spare time, helping to build the first homes in Miami Beach. He built a Miami home for his family as well as an apartment building at 22 NW 23rd Street.
