Summary
Robert Lanier Tate, Jr. (“Bob”) was born March 16, 1923, in Anniston, Alabama, where he resided until 1942 when he began serving in the United States Army.1 After four-and-a-half years of Army service, Bob returned to Alabama where he later married Mary Bernice Ginn (“Bernice”) in 1953. Bernice was also born in Alabama – in 1928 – and resided there her entire life.2 Bob and Bernice made their home in Oxford, Alabama, and had three children – Deborah (in 1954), Denise (in 1956), and Robert (in 1958).3 In 1969, Bob was Oxford’s “Citizen of the Year,” and Bernice was once a top-ten finalist for Alabama’s “Mother of the Year.”4
