Pate Beane was the son of John Squire and Martha Elizabeth Leonard Bean. He was born in rural Hermitage Springs, Clay Co., TN. He received 2 medical degrees, one from the University of TN and one from Vanderbilt University. As a young man he delivered the mail for his father who was the Postmaster at Hermitage Springs and taught school. The addition of the "e" was an error made by the medical school on his diploma and it was too difficult to correct. Thereafter his sons had to have the "e" on the end of Beane as well. Dr. Pate cared for his community in Clay and Macon Counties of TN. His niece, Martha Elizabeth Tinsley followed him on his patient rounds inspiring her to become a nurse. He married Emma Tennessee Smith and they had 2 sons, Willie Estis Beane and Carson Lee Beane. Neither son had any children. He and Tennessee divorced and he depended on his sister, Bernetta Bean Tinsley to care for his sons when he moved to West Virginia to practice medicine for the coal miners. While he died in Alabama, he is buried in Keystone, McDowell Co., West Virginia. His son Carson died in 1931 in Nashville, TN. His son Willie continued to be close with his Aunt Bernetta and her family until his death in Nashville in 1972.
