In 1831 William
died of typhus fever. There is an obituary to him in the Methodist Records which
reads: "October 21st at Kilton: In the Stokesley Circuit in his 37th
year, Mr William Farndale Junior. He was of an open disposition and of
studious habits. About the year 1815 a revival of the work of God took
place in the neighbourhood where he resided. When he was acquianted
with his condition as a sinner and sought and found the Lord to the joy of his
heart. He then listed himself to the Wesleyan Methodists and became very useful
among them as an exhorter and local preacher. The complaint typhus fever which
terminated his mortal existence, considerably affected his mind, yet when he recollected he expressed strong confidence in God."
