Everything about George C S Choate totally explained
George Cheyne Shattuck Choate (
March 30,
1827–
June 4,
1896), is a descendant of a family which settled in
Massachusetts in
1643. He was born at
Salem, Massachusetts, the son of noted physician George Choate, brother to
Joseph Hodges Choate, and nephew to
Rufus Choate. Following his father's footsteps, Choate graduated from
Harvard College in
1846 and
Harvard Medical School in
1849.
Choate eventually moved to
Westchester County, New York where he started his own
sanitarium. Choate added a wing to his house for use of his sanitarium to house patients being treated for mental and nervous disorders. One of Choate's most famous patients was politician and
New York Tribune founder,
Horace Greeley. Following his defeat for the
Presidency of the
United States in
1872, Greeley checked into Choate’s sanitarium where he died a few weeks later. Choate died in
1896, but the Sanitarium remained open for another decade.
The Choate family also established the Rosemary Hall School for girls in
1890 and The Choate School for boys in
1896. The two schools formally merged to form
Choate Rosemary Hall in
1974, now located in
Wallingford, Connecticut.
In
1909, Choate’s widow had the wing her husband had constructed moved to its present location—just a stone's throw away from its former location using horses, and at an inch at a time it took about six months to move. Mrs. Choate lived there until her death, at age 95, in
1926. Today, Choate’s sanitarium is now "Marks Hall"
(External Link
) and his former residence is now known as "
Choate House"
(External Link); both of which are located on the
Pleasantville campus of
Pace University.
