Mr.. Loughery, who was one
of the Oldest printers in the
State, was born in Ouachita Par
ish, La, in 1912, and was son
of Col. Robert w. Loughery,
who was editor and proprietor
of the Texas Republican, which
he established at Marshall be-
fore the Civil War, and who for
thirty years or longer after
edited the Jimplecute at Jeffer-
son, and was known as the Nest
or of the Texas Press.
Robert W. Loughery, Jr., went
to Marshall with his father in
1849, and there learned the print
ing trade. In 1862 he enlisted
in a cavalrg company, raised by
Capt. Samuel j. Richardson.
After serving about year with
this company west of the river,
| Mr.. LOughery crossed the river
and became member of Col.
Roger q. Mills Tenth Texas In
fantry. He took part in almost
all the important engagements
fought in Tennessee and Geor-
gia and distinguished himself for
bravery on more fields than one.
| When he was mustered out of
service after the surrender, he
made his way back to Marshall.
He worked at Marshall and
Shreveport until about 1875.
when he came to Dallas, and
with tine exception of an occas-
ional trip to other cities in early
days. he resided here until he
died. He worked on the old
Dallas Herald, in Worley's Job
office and was connected with
| The News for many years. He
was an expert hand printer and
never cared to learn to operate a
linotype machine. When Frank
Shanks was elected County Clerk
Mr.. Loughery accepted posi-
under him and was connected
with the clerks office during the
incumbency of Mr.. Shanks.
After leaving the clerks Office
he entered the proofroom OF
The News and was so employed
up to within few days of his
death.

his wife, two daughters, Miss
Nellie and Miss Jennie, and a
stepson, Arthur Snyder, OF
