TATE the son of William Tate, a biographical sketch of whom appears in another column, resides on and conducts his father's ranch, which he rents. He is a native of Illinois, having been born in Chicago, February 17, 1872. In the excellent graded schools of Chicago and San Luis Obispo he received a substantial education to which he has added by extensive reading. He went to San Luis Obispo at the age of eleven years, remained three years and then came to Sherman county with his family. Continuing here until 1890 he sought employment in the lumber woods of Hood River where he was engaged three years. The following four years were passed in Chicago in the organ-making business with his brother, Walter. In the fall of 1897 Mr. Tate returned to Sherman county and commenced earnestly the conduct of his father's extensive ranch where he has remained since. The fraternal affiliations of our subject are with Sherman Lodge, No. 157, I. O. O. F. and the K. O. T. M., of Chicago. Politically he is a Republican, but not particularly active. He is a young man of sterling principles and numbers many friends in a wide circle of acquaintances. ******************* Submitted to the Oregon Bios. Project in November 2010 by Diana Smith.
