Aged 42 years. (NOTE: Birth year has been calculated.)
Farmers Repository (Charles Town, West Virginia), Wednesday, June 10, 1818: "Died, of a consumption on Friday morning the 5th inst. in the 42d year of his age, WILLIAM TATE, Esq. This place has never lost a citizen more respectable, or respected, or society at large a worthier member, than the deceased--whilst he possessed a decision and manliness of character, well fitted to maintain any situation with propriety, he was remarkable for the most modest, and retiring manners, united to a sound, and discriminating mind. In his intercourse with his fellow citizens, whether in his professional character or otherwise, his conduct was always marked by the strictest integrity and correctness; in domestic life no man ever appeared in a more amiable point of view. He was a most devoted, and affectionate husband and father, and also a kind and indulgent master. Mr. Tate was not regardless of the necessity of make a preparation for a future state; he accordingly made Religion the object of his serious inquiry, and the evidence of Revelation appeared to his mind solid and invincible, & every way worthy of his warmest acceptance. The deceitful calms which so often characterize the disease which put a period to his life, and which occasionally inspired him with hopes of recovery, when none existed, had no effect in drawing him aside from the consideration of his last duties. He died with humble confidence in the mercy of his maker, and the most entire resignation to his sovereign will."
