CLYDE PORTER GATES

  Clyde Porter Gates, one of our best young citizens, died at his home 
yesterday morning at the apartments in the First National bank building, 
death being the result of a complication of diseases.
  He was born in Tyrone, October 22, 1896, and his whole life has been
spent here.  He was the son of W. Porter Gates, carpenter and
contractor. Practically all his life, the deceased followed the trade
of carpenter, he having been employed in that capacity at the Paper
Mill prior to his last illness.
  On June 16, 1915, he was united in marriage with Miss Fay Dixon, who 
survives him.  He is also survived by the following brothers and one
sister: Chalmers W., now in the United States army; Harry, and Mrs.
Gilbert Mitchell, both of Tyrone.
  Clyde was a young man of pleasing personality, the kind of a young man 
with whom one was pleased to come in contact, both in a social and
business way.
  Funeral services will be held on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the 
First Presbyterian church, conducted by Rev. Fasick and Rev. Schafe.  
Interment in Eastlawn cemetery.
