     According to Veatrice and Vera, his 1/2 grand nieces, he suffered from "St Vidas Dance". They thought it was from being gassed in WWI, but Wikipedia defines St Vidas Dance as: Sydenham's chorea, also known as chorea minor and historically and occasionally referred to as St Vitus' dance, is a disorder characterized by rapid, uncoordinated jerking movements primarily affecting the face, hands and feet.^[1] Sydenham's chorea is an autoimmune disease that results from childhood infection with Group A beta-haemolytic Streptococcus. It is reported to occur in 20–30% of people with acute rheumatic fever and is one of the major criteria for it, although it sometimes occurs in isolation.

To date, I have found no record of him serving in WWI. Edward lived with his 1/2 sister, Maggie Simpson Pruitt as did his mother Asberry Middleton Simpson Clark. Vera & Vie remembered going to Austin to visit him in the State Hospital, so at one point he must have been committed. Vie was only about 4 years old, but what she remembered is losing her hat out of the car window and they wouldn't turn around and go back for it. Vera remembered being scared at the hospital.¹⁰
