Cathy, The only date I know for sure is 1900.? He is the 1900 census at the "Insane Asylum for the Feeble-Minded" in Nevada at that time.? Horrible name, isn't it?? Anyway, I also saw his name in the Morgan County (where he was born and married)?newspapers where the probate tranactions were printed.? The newspapers listed what the county paid for him to be a patient at the hospital.? I saw this kind of information a few times after 1900 and then nothing.? He was not listed Missouri census ?in 1910.? Family stories say he died there and I did find his name as one who is in the cemetery. His wife (my great-grandmother) was Matilda (?) Minerva Findley Smith.? His children were Addie (my grandmother, Patsy, Millton, Dave, and one other daughter whose name escapes me at the moment. Thanks for any help you can give me.? I appreciate it very much.
