I have a copy of a Memorial Record of John Pate, died 1 Apr 1894.  This was in the family pictures and of Samuel Bruce Pate b.1902, Brazos Co, TX; d. 2007.  He most certainly got it from his father John Thomas Pate b.1860, Tyler Co, TX; d.1933, Brazos Co, TX.   Does anyone know who this John Pate might be?   Dan Franklin
