  • Notes 

    • Vance was the son of Robert January Huston and his wife, Kate Francis. He was actually born in Chehalis County, Washington but that's now Grays Harbor County.

      For years I have looking for documents pertaining to my grandfather's brother, Robert Huston, but couldn't find anything past the 1880 Census. Then today I found that someone on Ancestry had copied my mother's information. I checked that tree, and found the missing Robert, my mother's uncle.

      From there I found that he was married and had two sons, Vance and James. I found information on both of them, including a memorial here on Find A Grave for James. There was none for Vance.

      From what I could find, Robert and his wife separated and Robert took both boys and went to Japan. The first record of them that I found was a Certificate of Registration of American Citizen, completed on Aug 31, 1907 in Nagasaki, Japan. Robert and his sons were then living in Shimonoseki, Japan. The same documents were found for 1909 and 1911. Others may exist as well.

      In 1911, Vance returned to the United States. I haven't found any records for him from 1911 until 1920. In the 1920 Census, Vance is listed as living at the California State Hospital, aka Patton Mental Hospital, in San Bernardino County, California. It was there that he died on October 21, 1932.

      Vance's death certificate, which I received in April, 2014, offered some new information. Prior to entering the hospital, he lived in Los Angeles County and worked as a waiter. Vance was admitted to Patton Mental Hospital on October 4, 1918.

      His cause of death is listed as chronic myocarditis, with a 16 year history of dementia praecox. According to Wikipedia, "Dementia praecox (a 'premature dementia' or 'precocious madness') refers to a chronic, deteriorating psychotic disorder characterized by rapid cognitive disintegration, usually beginning in the late teens or early adulthood." Today we know this as schizophrenia.

      Vance was buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California. His brother James was laid to rest next to him in 1960.
