An Old Citizen Dead

Nathaniel Green Pass died at 10:15 o'clock on Saturday night after a brief
illness of one week. In the death of "Grandpa" Pass, as he was familarly
called, one of the old landmarks of Roane County has been taken away; he having
lived to the ripe old age of 91 years, and most of that time being spent in
Roane County. He came to Rockwood, before there was any town there and has
lived there or near there ever since. He built the first house that was erected
in Rockwood, having taken a contract with the Roane Iron Company to build six
log houses in what is now known as old Rockwood, hear the furnace, the first
houses built in the town. He is said to have dug the first iron ore that was
ever smelted int the Rockwood furnace. He was married twice and was the father
of seventeen children- seven by his first marriage and ten by his second-ten of
whom survive, and these were all with him in his last hours except one who is
living in Texas. From him 132 descendants have sprung reaching into the fourth
generation, most of them living in this county. He also has two sisters and two
brothers living in Blount County. Deceased was a quiet, peaceable, industrious
citizen, devoted to his family, reverenced and respected by all, as was
attested by the large number of people that attended his funeral. He was a
consistent member of the Christian Church at this place. Rev. A.A. Ferguson
condected a very impressive service at the Christian Church at 10:00 o'clock
Monday morning, after which his body was buried in the Cardiff cemetery.
