Following an illness of three years of diabetes, Mrs. Hattie Tate, widow of the late Marion Tate, of the Kings Prairie community, died at her home southeast of Monett, Wednesday evening, Dec. 1st. A former pastor of the Kings Prairie Union church, conducted funeral services Friday afternoon, Dec. 3rd. Burial was in the Spring River Cemetery near Verona. The Monett Times gave the following sketch concerning her: Hattie McQueen was born January 6, 1881 at Verona, Mo.

She was married in 1901 to Marion Tate. One son, John D. Tate, was born to them. Mr. Tate died in 1932. Mr. and Mrs. Tate reared a foster son, Raymond Phariss, who also lives on Kings Prairie. Two months ago Mrs. Tate took another boy, Pierce Lawless, from the Christian orphanage and he is now a member of the family. Besides her son and foster sons, Mrs. Tate is survived by her mother, Mrs. Jennie McQueen of Verona, a sister Mrs. Georgia Wilks who lives with her mother; and three brothers, John McQueen of Little Rock, Ark., George L. McQueen of Grand Junction, Colo., and Ray McQueen of Anchorage, Alaska.

Mrs. Tate had been a member of the church since she joined the Christian church at Verona when she was 16 years old. She had been a member of the Kings Prairie Union church since coming to that community to live. She was a zealous in church work and was one of the members instrumental in making extensive improvements at the church which have just been completed. She was quite and unassuming, but a busy helpful woman, accomplishing much good in the community.
