Individual Details
(October 11, 1910 - July 21, 2002)
"Dillard Caswell Tate was the second son and the second child in the family. He was born October 11, 1910 in Madison County, Kentucky. He was a quiet man but when he spoke, you listened. There was a song by Willie Nelson called the "Red Headed Stranger" that reminded me of Dillard, even though he wasn't red headed. The line in the song says, "Don 't boss him, don't cross him," this was Dillard, the gentle giant. There was not one man more fair or more honest than him. He was more of a 'loner' than anyone else in the family. He lived on houseboat on the Kentucky River for a while then he lived in a shack up Bell Jones Hollow located near Boonesboro where he farmed. He married later in life than most of the family. He married Rhoda Peters from Booneville, Kentucky. He raised his family of five children as a tenant farmer during the depression. He bought his farm on Brooks town Road in the early 1940's. Dillard passed away July 21, 2002." (Dillard Caswell Tate, written by his brother, James David Tate.)
