ANTHONY PATE, SON OF PIONEER EARLY READER
Anthony Pate, living four miles north of Murphysboro, was one of the first readers of the Independent, his father, Perleamon Pate, being among the first subscribers.
Mr. Pate was born on the same farm on which he now lives in June 17, 1843, and has a vivid recollection of the days when a four-wheeled wagon was a novelty. Only one of these vehicles was in the neighborhood in his youth and he remembers going to the big road to watch it pass. It was owned by George Carbaugh, father of the young lady Mr. Pate later married.
Mrs. Pate was born in the same neighborhood in 1844. He was married to Isabella Carbaugh in 1864 and is the father of nine children, four of whom are now living. Mrs. Pate is still active and with her husband goes about without much thought of the encroaching years.
The children now living are: Mrs. Anna Rees of this city, Mrs. Louisa Campbell of Bedford, New Hampshire, who has been the guest of her parents this summer, Mrs. Gertrude Aimo and Mrs. Myrtle Joplin, both of this city.
Mr. Pate knew John Grear and Bethune Dishon well and recalls the fact that John loved to hunt quail and deer in those early days. Mr. Pate says that deer were so plentiful about his father's farm that one evening he drove thirty-two deer out of his father's corn field to save the crop. Wild turkeys were so plentiful that the people of that day tired of their meat.
He recalls coming to town the first time with his father, when they brought some dressed hogs to John Hanson's store, located where the Commercial hotel is now, and received 2 1/2 cents a pound for the meat. His father left him and a brother there and came further up toward what is now the Logan house, then a small frame hotel, and his memory of the occasion is that he was considerably frightened for fear his father would get lost, there were so many houses. He has witnessed many a horse race in the old Logan lane which ran from about Thirteenth street west to the old Tom Logan home about where the M & O depot is located.
Mr. Pate has been a Justice of the Peace for fifty-three years and has married many score of young people in this community. His father bought the land the son now owns from the government, together with many other acres of that then wild forest, and the grant was signed by President Buchanan.
