Gentleman's Magazine 1792 p286 The remains of the late Mr Geo Gates, attorney at law, coroner, and town clerk of Rochester, were deposited on the 23rd March last, in the parish church of St. Nicholas in that city. Naturally of a social and friendly disposition, in him was combined the gentleman, neighbour and friend, whose easy and pleasant deportment in every description of persons was invariably the same. In a political line his integrity was ever unimpeached; and the city of Rochester will long bear testimony of his independent principles, and that no influence whatever, either public or private, could estrange him from the cause he supported. In the prime of life he was a handsome, graceful figure, gay, lively, and of a sweet aspect, which, however, he retained but a few years, for the gout, an unenviable patrimony of his family, seized him at an early period of his life, and, by its reiterated attacks, at last totally undermined his constitution, and he fell a victim to that dreadful malady in the 44th year of his age, sincerely esteemed and lamented among a large and respectable circle of acquaintence.
