Tate, who reside northwest of Verden, on Monday morning at two o'clock after an illness of several weeks duration. The young man had been a sufferer for several weeks, the cause of his affliction being tuberculosis of the kidneys, and had been confined to his bed a greater part of the time for the past month or more. The end came quietly and peacefully, the patient surrendering himself to the will of his creator. He bore his suffering with patience and fortitude and is at rest, that eternal rest that awaits those who place their trust in Him who doeth all things well. The deceased was born August 15, 1883, being at the time of his death 26 years, 10 months and 26 days old. He leaves to mourn a father and mother and 4 brothers and 5 sisters. The funeral services were conducted from the M.E. church in Verden, Monday evening, Rev. J.J. Bailey having charge. Interment occurred in the Verden cemetery.
