Participating two weekends in a row!
Random Name Generator gave me the following name: Gus Drake
Since I live in Texas I wanted to research a "Gus Drake" who lived (lives) in Texas. This is what I found!
a) The first record was the 1930 census from Victoria, Victoria County, Texas.
Edward Calliette head male white 51 married - @ age 28 Texas parents US/US laborer/odd jobs
Mary V Calliette wife female white 60 married - @ age 37 Texas parents TN/LA
Clarence Drake nephew male white 24 single Texas no occupation parents TX/TX
J. Gus Drake nephew male white 17 single Texas house painter parents TX/TX
b) Next, I found Gus Drake in the 1920 census with his parents, J. T. and Annie Drake.
J T Drake head male white 37 married Texas parents LA/LA general farm
Annie Drake white female white 44 married Texas parents TX/TX
Clarence Drake son male white 13 single Texas parents TX/TX
Francis Drake daughter female white 9 single Texas parents TX/TX
Gus Drake son male white 7 single Texas parents TX/TX
c) Gus Drake's death certificate:
The death certificate indicates Gus Drake's death was due to suicide. Very tragic. The informant is wife, Helen Mae Drake.
d) I was able to find Gus Drake on Findagrave.com. He was born on July 25, 1912 and died on January 3, 1974. He is buried in McDade Cemetery, McDade, Bastrop County, Texas. He is linked to all of his siblings and parents. Mr. Drake was just added to FAG two months ago; I consider tonight's assignment providential!
e) I found several marriage and divorce records. The first chronological record I found was a divorce record for Gus Drake and Helen M. Greatsinger in California. The date of divorce was June 1967.
f) The next chronological records was a divorce certificate in Bastrop County, Texas. The date of divorce was December 10, 1969.
