DEATH CAME SUDDENLY
Announcement of His Demise
Brought Sorrow TO Hundreds
of Homes.

DR.. J. w. Gates, Maryville's
and Blount county's oldest
physician, died at his home in
South MaryviIle Monday after
noon at 5 o'clock. The an
nouncement of his death
brought sorrow into every
home in the town, for no man
was known by more people
and no citizen was more loved
than DR.. Gates. For more than
a half century he had gone
over the county bringing
health and happiness to the
sick and suffering, and hum
dreds of men and women today
who are prospering and who
are happy, have had their ills
cured by this physician, whose
life and work could we'll have

for the beautiful story, '"The
General Practitioner" in his
group Of stories, ''Beside the

DR.. Gates was nearing the
eigfA5y-taird anniyarsCay of his
birth which ne would ma >
celebrated had he lived until
April.
He was the oldest citizen in
MaryviIle. His brother, Mr..
Chas. 7. Gates, Sr., is now Ma
ryville's oldest citizen. These
brothers have lived here all Of
their lives and were always
closely identified with each 9th
er. They were born in a house
where Joe Reagan's store is To-
Gated. This building was de-
stroyed during the war while
the boys were away in the ar
my. DR.. Gates was a surgeon
in the Confederate army.
DR.. Gates had not been prac-
ticing medicine for the past
several years, because of his
age. However, he took de-
light in keeping himself in

cries in the medical world. He
was a widely read man, and
his keen intellect never failed
him.He was in his usual good
health Saturday, it seemed, but
was not we'll Sunday.
DR.. Gates practiced his pro-
fession in all parts of county
and it would perhaps be hard
job to find any person in the
county whose parents and
grand parents made their
homes here, who did not at
some time have DR.. Gates as
their family physician. Meth
DDS of travelling to see the sick
were not so convenient in the
olden days of his practice as
they are now. There were no
pixies, and no railways into the
various parts Of the county, but
DR.. Gates always responded to
the call Of those in trouble, no
matter if they lived in or near
the town, or if their homes
were far in the mountains. And
thousands of people honor his
today.
DR.. Gates came to town every
day, until two or three days be-
fore his death. He would meet
his friends at the postofice and
in the Bank of BIount County,

toriaI district, composed of

was active in both sessions and
led in the fight against the re-
peal Of the capital punishment

Mr.. CresswelPs record
throughout his legislative
career is in entire accord with
the republican platform. He
is a strong advocate of temper
ance and aided materially in
the enactment of the law en-
forcement and temperance
measures adopted by the last
two legislatures.
He has served as chairman
of the republican executive
committee of this county and
as president Of the Sewer
county anti-saloon league.
