The Choate Family 1900-1999: Descendants of John Reagan Choate and Nora Ann Haney

By David A. Freitag

Read about the history and the stories of six sisters and their families during the twentieth century in America. This is the definitive source for the genealogy, ancestors, photographs, and stories about the descendants of John Reagan Choate and Nora Ann Haney. This book is a combination of several types of genealogy books. It contains a straight genealogy, with the prerequisite list of ancestors and descendants with a full index. Here future family historians will find in one place the most accurate genealogical information about this branch of the Choate family. This book also contains memories and stories about the Choates who lived during the twentieth century, a photographic history, and some historical information to place the Choates in context with their times. Please be aware that this book is not a work of journalism. The stories told here, and the conversations of the people portrayed, is the faithful recreation of the author's memory and notes of the stories told to him and the emotions of the people telling the stories. The author's goal was to tell an entertaining, readable narrative about the history of the Choate family. The stories in this book are as accurate as possible given the amount of time that has passed since events occurred. Of course there is more than one side to any family story and without a doubt the stories retold in this book do not reflect the events as they truly happened. The author can only hope he has kept the heart of the stories, and has been true to the times and the people who were there. The reader can think of this book as a work of creative historical nonfiction. The story of this Choate family is not the story of a family becoming great, rich, or influential. It is the story of a family pulling itself up from the dirt of Texas, and creating roots for future families to grow.
