Pioneer Citizen of Llano Remained Loyal Until Death

The Llano News

Thursday, February 6, 1936



In the death of James W. Tate, whose passing was recorded in the News during

the past week, Llano county lost one of it's most loyal citizens. Despite

the fact that for the last 20 years he has been a resident of Marble Falls,

in Burnet county. Mr. Tate always claimed citizenship in Llano county, and

before he became too enfeebled by the passage of time, always returned to

this county to vote.



Mr. Tate was born, March 2, 1857, in Llano county near Long Mountain. He was

the son of S.W. & Martha Tate, pioneer settlers of this section. Later the

family moved to near Sandy Mountain, where he was laid to rest in the family

cemetery.



In 1881 he united in marriage with Miss Cynthia Ann Hardin, of Llano county.

Surviving this union are four sons, Elmo Tate, of Fairfax, Oklahoma, Herbert

and Sam of Llano county, and Norman, of Berkeley, California.



He is survived also by two brothers, H.L. Tate of Pearsall, and R.L. Tate of

Llano, and two sisters, Mrs. Susan Phillips and Mrs. W.H. Roberts, both of

Llano. Mr. Tate had been a member of the Methodist church for approximately

30 years.
