I just found out that I had a great uncle, Robert L. Meyer, who was never mentioned by my grandmother. In the 1930 US Census he was listed as an "inmate" of the Harris County School for Boys. There's no record on Ancestry.com of his death. I wonder why he was an "inmate" and what happened to him. Why was he never mentioned by my family? Perhaps this is the proverbial "skeleton in the closet."
