The Ashland City Council honored the late Mr. Paul Robert Gupton at Tuesday’s meeting.
Mr. Gupton was an exemplary public servant. He served in several roles in Ashland City as a City Council Member, Public Works Director and Chaplain. He deeply loved his country, serving in the United States Marine Corp during the Korean Conflict.
Additionally, Mr. Gupton was licensed to preach in 1988 and spent numerous years serving the United Methodist Church, specifically four churches in Cheatham County – Walton’s Chapel, Simpkins Chapel, Neptune and Mallory’s Chapel – and was a longtime member of the Cheatham County Ministerial Alliance.
He leaves behind an indelible legacy of integrity, diligence and dedication in public life.
He died at age 92 in June.
Councilman Tim Adkins read a proclamation honoring Mr. Gupton on behalf of the city and Mayor Gerald Greer presented a plaque to his family.
