MRS. MARY BRABSoN GATES

MRS. MARY BRABSON GATES
Mrs. Mary Brabson Gates was born
in Maryville. She p%rofessed religion
in her girlhood and united with the
Presbyterian church. Later she
united with the Methodist Episcopal
church, South, to be with her
husband.
She was married to DR.. John W.
Gates May 81, 1864, with whom she
spent So happy years. DR.. Gates
preceded her to the spirit world near
ly four years ago, he having passed
away Jan. "a, 1916.
To them were born five children. DR..
Benjamin Brabson Gates, Reuben
Louis Gates, both of Knoxville; Edgar
Wilkinson Gates, Jessie Dickson Gates
Clark, of Maryville, and Johnnie
Berry Gates Foute, of McGhee, Tenn.
The writer first became acquainted
with Mrs. Gates in 1908. He was
then presiding elder of the Cleveland
district and was entertained in her
home on two of his official visits to
the church in Maryville. In October,
1915, he was appointed preacher in
charge of the Maryville station and
became the pastor of Mrs. Gates.
From that date to the present, he
has known her well, and can speak
with certainty of her as a Christian
and a friend.
Mrs. Gates was, in the best sense of
the word, a gentle woman. HeA4GEl-
ture, conversation, and general de-
pertinent showed that she had been
well born and properly reared. Her
g~entleness was in no sense assumed
it was her right by birth and inheri-
lance.
She was a sound Christian and a
consistent member of the church.
Her Christianity was not loud nor
professional, but meek and gentle as
becometh a protesting godli-
ness. After the death of her hus-
band she ripened in the Christian
graces rapidly. She became, it
seemed more constant in her devo-
tions, more regular in her attendance
at church, and more joyful in hope.
Was she lonely? Yes. She long
ed for the companionship of her hus-
band more and more. She said to
the writer one day: II am so lonely.

will continue such forever.
She was a good friend to her pastor
No one appreciated a pastoral visit
more than she, and when he had talk
ed with her awhile, and then read a
few verses from the blessed Book,
and together they prayed, she gener-
ally followed him to the door and
thanked him heartily for the visit and
the prayer.
She loved her children, and they
loved her. She fairly worshipped
them, and nothing pleased her better
than their visits to her. She loved
TO talk of them. They are men and
women now with grave responsible
ties of their own, but to her they
were just her children yet.
The old home is now broken, and
she has Joined her husband in the
new, new home, but there is still a
blessed homecoming and she will be
for the children to come
home some day-to the home where
are no shadows, no funerals, no
parting.

ing is mourned by all who knew her.
The funeral was conducted We'd
