WIDELY KNOWN STOCK MAN

Robert H. McGaughey, one of the
county's very best citizens, died We'd
nesday morning after an illness of
three weeks, of typhoid fever. He
was believed to be over the crisis of
the disease and on the road to recov-
cry when the fatal relapse came with
shocking suddenness.
Mr.. McGaughey was son of John
W. McGaughey and a native of the
county. He owned a fine farm near
Newstead upon which he was born
and was prominent in many ways.
In addition to being a successful
farmer, adopting the most up-to-date
methods in his agricultural opera
tions, he was live stock breeder of
State prominence. His herd of Poll
ed Durham cattle was one of the fin
est in the State and he captured his
share of premiums at every State
fair. He also bred Southdown sheep
and Poland China hogs and was one.
of the best informed men in Western
Kentucky on all matters of live stock
and agriculture. He was a director
of the Kentucky Live Stock Associa-
tion. He was one of the, most active
members of the Church Hill Grange.
He had been a director of the Penny
royal Fair from its organization with
special charge of the cattle rings and
he will be sorely missed, as his place
as manager will be hard to fill.
He was interested in good roads,
public schools and other works of
progress. He had been chairman of
the school trustees of his district for
years and was largely instrumental
in securing the handsome new school
building near his home.
He was life long and devoted
member of the Presbyterian church
at Newstead and was a leader in all
of its affairs. His heart was filed
with the noblest impulses and his
kindness of heart and charity were
proverbial. Gentle as a woman, mod
est and retiring, courteous and affa- f,
BILE, never pushing himself in but al
ways ready to do a double part, he
was loved and respected by everyone
who knew him.
He is survived by his wife, who was
4 daughter of Mr.. j. NJ. Adams, of
Church Hill, and seven children. The
oldest is boy of fourteen and the
twin girls, Mary and Mar
ha, born few months ago.
At the time he was taken i'll he
vas engaged in building a new house

ZONES in the county.
The funeral services were held at

nd the burial was in the family lot
n Riverside. Services were held by
Rev. A. S. Anderson, of the West
linster Presbyterian church.
