Help to find my Family History. Grandfather John Reeves Choate was born in TX so was his wife Cynthia Ann, I have no maiden name for her. John R. Choate born abt.1860 age in 1910 was 50. Cynthia was born abt.1877 in 1910 she was 33. Cynthia father was born in Alabama, her mother was born in TX. Milton their firstborn was born in abt. 1896 he was 14 yrs old in 1910. Earl Choate was born in abt. 1902 both boys were born in TX. There home is listed in 1910 as Elmo, Kaufman,Texas. Only key I have is that Earl wrote a book about Eighteen Years An ASYLUM ATTENDANT there he gives a brief discription of his life. He writes: A POOR Beginning his father secured him employment before the age of 17 at a state hospital for the insane. Upon arriving fresh from the farm with all the clothing I possessed on my back and a few little articles wrapped in newspaper. My new job was easy compared with the farm work. Never before I began work at a hospital had I bathed in a tub or lived in a dwelling where there was electricity,steam heat or any conveniences whatever, and better meals that I thought could exist. Earl was home when the 1920 census was taken that could have been because of his mothers death don't know. Any one has any information I would really appreciate hearing from you.
