- The Choates in America:
p. 347
Mr. Choate was engaged for many years in the hardware trade, and was one of the prominent and wealthy citizens of Jackson.
He retired from business, and was for some time an invalid before his death. The following announcement of his death
appeared in a local paper:
A Pioneer Merchant and Business Man Passes Away
William Nelson Choate died at his home, No. 314 First Street, last evening, after a several years' illness.
Mr. Choate had resided in Jackson for nearly 40-9 years, and during a long period was one of its most active
and enterprising business-men, aiding in the development and growth of the city. He was one of the pioneers
of Jackson, and while in health did much to promote its progress. At one time he held large property interests
and erected several buildings. . . . He subsequently became a partner in a foundry and machine-making
business, but finding it unprofitable retired from it at the end of three years. He was also prominently
identified with coal mining in this country for several years, and did much to develop that interest. Mr.
Choate was in tin and hardware trade in this city for more than a quarter of a century. For the past 20-2
years he has retired from business and when in health devoted his time largely to working for measures
for the growth and improvement of the city, being especially interested in school and the cause of education.
