Fellow Choate researchers:
The message below was sent to me from Ken Choate, with a request to forward
it to the list. I'm going to assist him in subscribing on his on, but being
as how Rootsweb will be down beginning at 8:00 a.m. this morning (Friday), I
thought I'd go ahead and send it to you.
Please respond directly to Ken at kenchoate(a)home.com
Best Regards, Janet Hunter Christopher & Flora>????Christopher &

Hello all,
I have virtually disappeared from this (and other) lists since just after it
was started. Hello to all of you who remember me! Dianna, are you still
running the show? I've sent a few people to the list and hope they've joined.
I think I'm back on track now, but for a few years I've been preoccupied with
one after another family and medical issues. My 37-year-old brother died from
a sudden heart attack, and though I don't remember a soul on the list being a
part of my particular twig on the family tree, his obituary from a small
local paper is below in case anyone is interested. (I know I appreciate obit
postings.)
Looking forward to good days ahead!
Karen Choate

Madison County (Arkansas) Biography of:
"David M. BOYDSTUN, merchant and postmaster at Suggs, Kings River Tp.,
Madison Co., Ark., was born in that county August 15, 1855, and is the
son of David C.
and Caroline C. (CHOTE) Boydstun, natives of Tennessee and Alabama,
respectively.
The father was born February 15, 1813, and is now a resident of Madison
County, Ark.
He came to Madison County, Ark., about 1837, and was one of the very
first settlers of
that county. He has been a farmer all his life. The mother was born in
1818, and both
she and her husband have been members of the Baptist Church for many
years. He is a
Democrat in politics. Twelve children were the fruit of their marriage,
four now living: Mrs.
Martha CECIL, Mrs. Rachel M. WHETTLEY, Mrs. Nancy SUGGS and David M.
The latter has remained with his parents until the present time, and
followed agricultural
pursuits until 1881, when he engaged in merchandising at Marble. He was
a partner of
Jacob OWENS for a short time, or until the latters death four months
later. He then
formed a partnership with E. A. WALLS, and sold goods the remainder of
the year, after
which he dissolved partnership, moving to his present location, where
he has sold goods
ever since. He carries a stock of goods valued at $2,000, and the
annual sales amount
to from $8,000 to $10,000. Mr. Boydstun started with little means, but
by industry and
unusual business ability he has been quite successful. He has had a
post-office
established at Suggs lately, and has been appointed postmaster.
September 18, 1874, he married Miss Minerva E. WILKERSON, daughter of
Charles
Wilkerson, and a native of Madison County, Ark., born April 13, 1860.
Five children have
been born to this union: Ellar M., Charles D., Eva C., William F., and
Robert M. Mr.
Boydstun is a member of the Free Will Baptist Church, is a member of
the I.O.O.F. at
Marble, and is Noble Grand, and is Democratic in his political views."
