Excerpt from the Tate Families of Southern States, Volume II, Laura Metzel and Ethel Speer Updike, 1984

Martin Van Buren and his family lived in TX before moving to OK. The Tate family joined the Mormon Church in Oklahoma Indian Territory at the time Andrew Kimball, Father of Spencer Kimball, was Mission President of the area.

Martin V. and his wife, Margaret moved from Spanish Fork, Utah to Arizona during the summer of 1898. With them were seven of their then, nine children. The two older girls, Maggie and Myrtle, then 16 and 17 years old, remained in Spanish Fork, working for individual families. The seven children who came to Arizona were Homer, Nellie, Bessie, Gracie, Mable, Alma and Ruth.

In 1894, the Tate family moved to Utah. and settled in Spanish Fork. The winters in Utah affected Margaret's arthritis so severely, they felt a warmer climate would give her more relief. When Martin heard that Andrew Kimball was being called to preside as Stake President over the St. Joseph Stake, he sought his advice concerning moving the Tate family to Arizona. On the recommendation of President Andrew Kimball, the Tates started for Arizona with all their possessions in two wagons. One wagon was pulled by mules, the other by horses. Martin V. drove one wagon and Homer, age 13, drove the other. They arrived in Central in the late summer of 1898. The only available housing at the time was an empty granery located near the church and school. The tenth child of the Tate family, Zina Myrtle, was born in Central. Martin V. and his family stayed in Central a little more than six years. In order to provide better for the large family, they moved to Globe, AZ where they started a boarding house for the miners. This gave an opportunity to put the girls of the family to work. The Tate family eventually moved back to the Gila Valley locating permanently in Thatcher, AZ.

In the Gila Valley, daughter Nellie Bly married her Central school teacher, Spencer C. Heywood. Homer M. married his neighbor, Emma Pearl Coombs of Central.
