History of the great Northwest and its men of progress : a select list of biographical sketches and portraits of the leaders in business, professional and official life . fsuperintendent of similar schools in otherstates, he remained in the Missouri school,until, upon the retirement of its founder, liewas appointed superintendent. \\hile a teacher in Missouri, Mr. Tate mar-ried Miss Mary McClelland, at that time ouiof the most highly valued instructors of theschool. Of this union have been born threechildren, two of whom are living. In personal appearance Mr. Tate is a finespecimen of physical manhood. Socially heis one who makes many friends and keepsthem.
