  General Notes:

He owned a lot of property in 1916/1917 near Venis and Auburn, Ellis County, Texas. He couldn't get his crops in and lost everything. He spent 6 months in a mental institution at Terrell, Texas. During that time a man who owned a grocery store let his wife and children live in a room in the back and work for him. After Tom was released from the hospital, he had lost the ambition to own property. He worked as a tenant farmer the rest of his life. Tom gave his parent's birth places as well as his own as Arkansas on the 1920 census. At the time of the 1920 census, he was a farm laborer working out in Hill County, Texas.
