| 6447 | Mrs. Lovena Garland Pate died Saturday 16 January 1926. The funeral of Mrs. Vina Pate, which was arranged to occur at 10 o'clock a. m. Tuesday, was delayed a few hours, awaiting the arrival of a daughter and two sons from Adrian, Mich. On Tuesday afternoon a great number of people gathered to pay their last respects to Mrs. Lovena Pate, who died Saturday evening in Cincinnati, Ohio. The services were conducted by Rev. A. C. Sherwood of Erwin, Tenn., after which the body was laid to rest in the Swingle cemetery by the side of her late husband, Nathan Pate, who preceded her to the grave some five years and her mother Susan Garland, who was one hundred and four and one-half years old at the time of her death about six years ago. The flower-girls were: Mrs. A. D. Phillips, Misses Bertie Buchanan, Pearl and Ruby and Opal Britt, Hazel Erwin, Louise McInturff, Louise Street, Jessie Gauge and Kate and Florence Boothe. The pall-bearers were from the young men of the town, Mr. Arthur Pate's friends. As the funeral procession passed down the street, they paused in silence for about five minutes in front of Mrs. Pate's old home. This mute tribute in remembrance of one who so loved and cherished her home and all that pertained to its comfort, its beauty, its duties and its scaredness was touching in the extreme, and it brought to mind how faithful she was in all these relations. It is no tax of memory to recall her ever watchful care of her aged mother and invalid husband for a number of years before their deaths. Although frail herself at the time she never relaxed her diligence day or night to look after their safety and comfort. We do not hesitate in saying, we never saw such loyalty, such devotion, such faithfulness in any one as she exhibited under these trying circumstances as a daughter, a wife, a mother and a grandmother. And her helpfulness was not confined to the home. She was kind to friends, neighbors, acquaintances and strangers. It must be a fact that no one ever went to her home in blossom time, even to a tiny child, just large enough to grasp a flower in its tiny fist, and came away without a nose gay. Her flower garden was a wonder and a beauty never to be forgotten. How fitting the many and beautiful floral offerings at her burial. The deceased Lovena Garland, daughter of John and Susan Garland, was born and reared in the Limestone Cove, was married in youth to Nathan Pate, and lived her long and useful life in this vicinity. She lived for may years in Unicoi, until the death of her husband. Since then she has lived part of the time here, part in Adrian, Mich. and part in Cincinnati, Ohio. At the time of her death she was making her home with her daughter, Mrs. John Sutphin in Cincinnati. On Friday last, the physicians, who were attending her in her illness, advised an operation to remove a thyroid tumor which was obstructing her breathing. This was offered as a mere chance of life. She was taken to the Jewish hospital on Saturday where the operation was performed, and while it afforded relief did not avail to prolong the life which was already spent and she passed away Saturday evening. The deceased was seventy-seven years old and was from her child-hood a member of the Christian church. She is survived by two daughters. Mrs. Fuller Miller of Adrian, Mich., Mrs. John Sutphin of Cincinnati, Ohio; four sons, Messers Perry and John Pate, of Adrian, Mich; George of Johnson City; A. R. Pate of Unicoi, and a great number of grandchildren and great grandchildren. Mrs. George Pate and daughters are guest of Mrs. Sallie Boothe and family. Messrs. Perry and John Pate and Mesdames Miller and Sutphin are seeing old friends in Unicoi. They are here on account of the funeral of their mother, Mrs. Vina Pate. They will take leave the latter part of the week for their respective homes. All of Mrs. Pate's children were here except Mr. George Pate, who was in Florida and could not be reached in time. | Garland, Louvina (I54051)
