ROBERT FRANKLIN MCGOUGH SON OF ANDREW FRANKLIN MCGOUGH Robert Franklin McGough was born October 22, 1901 at Emmet, Arkansas. He was the oldest son of the second marriage of Andrew Franklin (Frank) McGough and Mattie Horneday McGough. Robert was a half brother to Elijah Thomas McGough, from the marriage of Frank and Sarah Case McGough in Mansfield, Louisiana. Robert was the grandson of Eugene Lovert and Nancy McGough. When Robert was a small boy, he had blonde hair. He said that some of his friends called him "Cotton". He had small pox and scarlet fever at the same time and almost died. As a result of the illness, he lost his hair. When his hair came back, it was very dark. On his eight birthday, he got a baby brother, Edgar Lovert McGough. Growing up and making a living at farming was hard and usually required some other income to make it. Back then, county roadwork was done by the people living in the county. Each man had to work some amount of hours per year on the road crews. If a person could hire someone else to work in their place, that was permitted. So, Robert did a lot of roadwork in other people's places for extra income to supplement farming. When Frank McGough died in 1923, that left Maffie with two sons, ages 13 and 21, and two daughters, ages 3 and 6. After trying to support the family on the farm didn't work out, Robert moved the family to Wright City, OK. in 1924, where he worked at the lumber mill for 43 years, retiring in 1967. He explained to the man that hired him, Gordon Grammer, that he needed a steady job and work all the hours that he could. Mr. Grammer gave Robert a job oiling in the planer mill. He had been working seven days a week for six months, when Grammer came out one Sunday morning and asked Robert if the job was steady enough. He let Robert off that afternoon. Robert later became carpenter foreman. He held that job until 1946, when he became sawmill foreman. He held this job until he retired in 1967. During the years Robert worked at the mill, he also sold Wooden of the World insurance for 35 years. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge and was the first Mayor of Wright City. Robert married Nettie Kimbrough on December 24, 1926. Nettie died on December 24, 1933 and is buried in the Old Wright City Cemetery. They had two children: 1. Madro Allen McGough was born May 12, 1928 at Wright City, Okla.. He died August 20, 1929 and is buried in the Old Wright City Cemetery. 2. Roberta McGough was born April 22, 1930 at Wright City, OK.

He died January 3, 1961 at Reedsville, North Carolina and is buried in the Old Wright City Cemetery. 3. Albert Sidney McGough was born October 19, 1939 at Wright City, OK. Dorothy Brewer McGough was born August 8, 1915 at Bokhoma, Okla. as the daughter of Orion Florman Brewer and Dullie Jeter Brewer. She taught us boys how to work and how to play. We always had a very large garden to work and we canned vegetables, soup, fruit, and berries. When we were caught up with our work, Mom always let us go to the swimming hole. On our trips to pick berries or go fishing, she taught us to identify most of the trees and plants in the woods. She showed us which were good to eat and those which were poison. After the kids were out of school, Dorothy went to nurse's school in Texarkana, Ark.. After received her certification, she worked at De Queen General Hospital at De Queen, Ark. and at .McCurtain Memorial Hospital at Idabel, Ok.. She worked a few years as a private nurse m Kansas City, Missouri. Then after she retired, the people of Wright City would call her when they were sick because die town didn't have a doctor. She was a member of the Eastern Star. She loved to grow flowers. Many of the people of Wright City would come by and get flowers from her to plant in their yard. Today, many of them can show you the flowers that they got from Dorothy McGough. Robert McGough died June 4, 1975 at Wright City, Okla. and Dorothy McGough died in Texarkana, Ark. on September 23, 1993.
