Ashland Progress
Mr. Aaron B. Tate, pioneer resident of this county died at his home in this city 
last Friday night about 11 o'clock. Mr. Tate had been in declining health for a 
long time, but his condition Friday was thought to be as well as usual, and his 
sudden passing came as a shock to his family and friends. The deceased was born 
in Winston County and with his parents removed to this county shortly 
thereafter, locating near Pyriton, where he re sided with his family until 
moving to Ashland some 25 years ago and has made his residence here since then. 
Before his health failed Mr. Tate followed the carpenter's trade, and by his 
quiet unassuming manner made many friends who regret his passing. His popularity 
was attested by the large funeral cortege which wound its way over the mountain 
road to the peak where the little church of which he was a member, could seat 
only a small fraction of those assembled to pay their respects. The large and 
beautiful floral offering bespoke the high esteem in which he was held by his 
friends. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at Pleasant 
Grove Christian Church, Conducted by Rev. Franklin Camp. The Masons had charge 
of the services at the grave. Mr. Tate was 75 years of age and is survived by 
his wife and two sons, W. B. and A. S. Tate of this city and a twin brother, A. 
W. Tate, of Birmingham. Active pallbearers were Otto Gaither, Vernon Owen, O. B. 
Farrell, Wesley Horn, Herbert Pace and O. L. Jordan. Honorary pallbearers were 
Bob Davis. Jno. J. Pruet, D. D. White, W. C. Dempsey, Dr. H. Owens and H. J. 
Carwile. Interment was in the Pleasant Grove cemetery with Blair directing.
