PATE was borned June 17, 1874, departed this life July 17, 1906, age 32 years and 1 month. Was married to H T PATE Dec 21, 1898. LULAR professed religion about 16 year ago and joined the Methodist Church and has lived a consistent christian ever since. Her suffering has been long and grate yet she has never faltered or doubted the reality of her religion. Her last words were to her husband and mother, she called them and the rest of the family and told them that she gone and gone to Heaven and saying meet me there. LULAR also told her brother, WILLIE, not long sence she was reddy to meet the call. I don't think any husband ever manifested a more tender love for an afflicted wife than did brother PATE, for he was always so kind and gentle. But now he is lonely and sad, with a sweet little four-year old boy to scatter the sunshine of hope amid the dark hours. Sister PATE was the oldest daughter of JOHN and MATILDA RICHARDSON. May the good Lord bless all the ones left behind.
