Son of Henry & Lorenda Otis (Crandall) Thorngate, husband of Mary A. Nurse, m. Oct 14, 1892, North Loup. Died at home of son Paul.
"The North Loup Loyalist", North Loup, Nebraska, Friday, May 4, 1934, p 1.
Gaylord Thorngate slept quietly away early Saturday morning April 28, at the home of his son Paul in Hastings. Death, to which he had looked forward, released him from weary months of pain and suffering. During this period of waiting he made all arrangements for the last rites, selecting the songs and the singers, the text of the sermon, and the pall bearers. He also requested that L. O. Greene have a part in the services.
Funeral services were held at the Seventh Day Baptist Church at 2 p.m. Monday. Because of Rev. Warren's throat which did not allow him to speak so soon after his tonsillectomy, Mr. Greene preached the sermon, speaking from the text chosen by Mr. Thorngate, "Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for which he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life."
Music was furnished by Esther Babcock, Ava Johnson, Archie Moulton and Dell Barber, with Mrs. Georgia Greene at the piano. Hymns included, "Wonderful Peace", "Sometime We'll Understand", "Crossing the Bar." Interment was made in the North Loup cemetery. Pall Bearers were John Cruzan, Robert Van Horn, Chas. Barber, Bert Sayre, Roy Lewis and Art Babcock.
Gaylord William Thorngate was born near Brookfield, Missouri, May 30, 1870, and passed from this life at the home of his son Paul in Hastings, Nebraska, April 28, 1934, in the 64th year of his age.
In the Fall of 1879 he came with his parents to North Loup. Here his childhood and youth were spent. When about sixteen years of age he was baptized by Elder George J. Crandall, pastor of the S. D. B. church and united with the North Loup church.
October 13, 1892 he was united in marriage with Miss Mary Nurse of West Hallock, Illinois. To this union three children were born: Paul of Hastings, Nebraska, Guy of Denver, Colorado, and Mrs. Mabel Wright of Boulder, Colorado. On account of the ill health of his wife he moved in the fall of 1898 to Denver, and a few months later to Boulder where he resided until the death of his wife in 1913. In 1914 he, with Guy and Mabel, returned to North Loup where he made his home with his brother and his family for a time. Later he lived with his aged father, Deacon Henry Thorngate, helping to care for him in his declining years. Since all of his children have moved from North Loup, he has made his home with his brother, H. H. Thorngate but has spent some months each year with his children.
During the past year he has been a great sufferer but has borne his suffering with fortitude and patience for the most part. For the past seven months of his illness he has been in the home of his son Paul, where he was cared for very patiently and tenderly by his daughter-in-law, Lola, assisted by his daughter Mabel, part of the time.
Gaylord, as he was familiarly known, was a man of staunch principles and always stood for what he believed to be right. He was loyal to his friends and wherever it was his privilege to serve he was conscientious and painstaking, always taking a great interest in those who he served. That he had his human limitations no one knew better than himself but through great suffering and sacrifice of much that seemed most precious - his pride, his dreams, his hopes - has victory been won. He fell asleep singing, "Beulah Land".
