I found this posted and thought it might be of interest to those working on the Dyer Co, TN Pate's -- JUL 1907 MISS NAOMI PATE (of Heloise), whose sad death occurred at this place last Friday, an account of which was published in the State Gazette, has cast a gloom over our community. The true facts in the case are as follows: MISS PATE took the deadly poison at 8 o’clock in the morning and died at noon the same day. She went to the store, got the medicine and came back to her brother’s house (CHARLES PATE), took the medicine, then laid down and called her niece, MISS HOLLINGSWORTH, of Nashville, and begged her to stay with her mother. Her niece asked her why she wanted her to make such a promise, and the reply was that she was going to die. She said she had taken two bottles of morphine and wanted to die. Dr J L HUEY was sent for at once and he worked faithfully with her till the end. It was a love affair, but all a mistake that they had quarreled. She had not seen or heard from him for three weeks. She was 18 years old. She leaves an aged mother and two brothers to mourn her sad death. (M14.3.6) She is the daughter of Charles Hall Pate & wife, Julia A (Kimbrough) Pate; a sister, Ona Frances Pate md Levi Hollingsworth and a brother, John William Pate married Minnie Hollingsworth.
