Notes:

Thomas Beauregard Vance was born at Altamont on the 9th day of October 1861, and died at his home at Plumtree Friday evening, September 28th, 1928 at 7:20 o'clock.
The deceased was the oldest living son of Thomas D. Vance and Elmire Dellinger Vance and was one of a family of eleven children all but three of whom are still living. The others are as follows:
Charlotte D. Jones, Umatilla, Fla; Mrs. Mary E. Key, Sumerville, PA, J E Vance, Johnson City, TN, D T Vance, Plumtree, R B Vance, Allendale,SC, Mrs. Eula Childs, Ingalls, NC, Mrs. J. L. Banner, deceased, C M Vance, Belen, NM, Miss Julia Vance, Johnson City, TN, Ed N. Vance, Plumtree, NC and Marcus D Vance, deceased.
In 1887, the deceased was married to Sara Wiseman who with eight sons and one daughter survive him. The children are Ira, Ernest, Pat, Hobart, Ted, Hale, Ethel, Joe and Junior.
The funeral was held Monday afternoon at the church at Plumtree and was conducted by Rev. T W Clapp assisted by Rev Hall and was attended by a great crowd of sorrowing and sympathizing friends including nearly all of the businessmen of Avery County and many from Mitchell, many of whom had closed their places of business out of respect for the memory of the deceased.
The pall bearers were the six sons of Mr. W. C. Burleson, his former business associate; R. M., Dr. W.B., Frank, Henry, D P, and S L.
A profusions of beautiful floral tributes to his memory were born by large number of young ladies and over a hundred automobiles joined in the procession that bore the remains from the church to the graveyard.
For nearly forty years, the deceased has been one of the leaders in the development of the intrests of Avery County. For four years he was a member of the firm of Jones and Vance at Elk Park, the remainder of the time has been spent at his loved home in Plumtree.
In 1891 he was the leading spirit in the concern that built the second oldest mica mill in the world. Two or three years later he sold his interest and in 1894, he and a brother D. T. Vance started in a very small way to grind mica under the name of Vance Brothers. In 1900, the firm dissolved partnership and Mr. Vance has since conducted his business in his individual name, building up a splendid and profitable business in the mercantile line as well as in other lines in which he was interested. Mr. Vance was a public spirited man and was the source of strength that carried many of his neighbors over the hard places in life that sometimes beset all.
While the family has lost so much, their loss is shared in an unusually large measure by the entire community and to a large extent by the entire county. He is enjoying the rewards of a well-spent life.
