Wife of Sidney M. Pate.

Obituary in The Bienville Democrat January 23, 1947:
The community was grieved and shocked at the sudden passing of Mrs. Anna Thurmond Pate early Thursday morning, January 16, at her home in Mt. Lebanon. Mrs. Pate led such an active life and was so vitally interested in every phase of the community life, both spiritual and otherwise. Having lived in Mt. Lebanon the greater part of her life, she was known and loved by everyone.
The beautiful flora offering and the large number of people that gathered at the old Mt. Lebanon Church to attend the funeral attested the esteem in which she was held. Rev. J.C. Cox, assisted by Dr. A.O. Canker, Highland Baptist Church, Shreveport, conducted the funeral. Pallbearers were Henry Sutton, Mason Key, Emmett Flores, Clarence Lyles, Jesse English, Oliver Boddies, Melton and hardy Courtney.
Mrs. Pate was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. J.P. Thurmond. She was known far and wide for her gracious manner and devotion to the worthwhile things of life. Her greatest interest was in the activities of her church. She was recognized as one of the best informed women of the state on Baptist affairs. A few years ago she wrote the history of the past forty years of Louisiana Baptist WMU. The book, "The Incense Road" was graciously received and read by the Baptist women of the South. The last day of her life was spent in the home of Mrs. Melton Courtney at a quilting party with the women of the community.
Mrs. Pate is survived by her sisters, Mrs. Bessie Ferguson and Mrs. H.E. Morrow of Mt. Lebanon and a brother, C.H. Thurmond of Shreveport; also a number of nieces and nephews. She was buried in Mt. Lebanon Cemetery.
