Two Bad Men, Said Their Murderers
John Choate, 25 August 1818 - 3 August 1869 Crokett Choate, 1842 -3 August 1869 This tells of a grave by the dashing wave A fond friends lip that did quiver Of an eye that's hid by a leaden lid And a voice now stilled forever. John on the left. They were originally buried where they were killed but October of that year the Refugio Masons moved the bodies to Rockport. This was all part of the Sutton-Taylor feud, the Suttons were backed by the U. S. Government and of no particular righteousness, they were badge wearing murderers and bullies. The two story house with the porch running around the second floor in the left background belongs to my sister. A lovely house and the best behaved neighbors possible! Photos by Steve Davis. The man who killed them. Sheriff. Regulator. Murderer. https://books.google.com/books?id=PUvanZiwzdUC&pg=PA64&lpg=PA64&dq=john+and+crockett+choate+death+jack+helm+gunfight&source=bl&
