Eugene "E.T." Deats Sr. was a carpenter and foreman of the Colorado Fire Engine Company No. 2 in Austin. He was probably born in Deatsville, Alabama, which was named for his father. In 1870 E.T. moved to Austin, TX and started a house building business with a man named Campbell. In 1876, they constructed the second empire style Robinson-Macken residence at 702 Rio Grande Street, which is listed on The National Register of Historic Places
E.T. died from injuries he suffered when his volunteer firemen responded to a fire on November 9, 1877 at the Texas Blind Asylum. In 1896, a statue of a volunteer fireman was placed at the State Capitol by the Texas Firefighters Association and dedicated to Deats and future volunteer firemen, who sacrificed their lives for citizens and property.
With E.T.'s death, Kate took Eugene Jr. to her parents, while Oliver and Arnold went to E.T.'s parents in Galveston. Arnold and Eugene Jr. returned to Austin at some point and followed in their father's boot prints by joining his Old Colorado Fire Company at the turn of the century.
On March 8, 1884 Kate married Civil War veteran, Austin lawman and fireman Capt. Edward Creary. He died nine years later. Creary had been the commander of Co. H
of the storied 6th U. S. Cavalry Regiment and was called Captain Creary ever after. Around 1915, Kate married dairy farmer James Albert Anglin and remained with him until her death. Like Kate's previous husbands, James is supposedly buried nearby.
