Funeral services were held for the late Mrs. J. R. Gough by Matthew B. Reeve, Christian Science reader of Dallas, at the family residence of the deceased, 107 North Bradley street, at 4:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon, April 11.

Andrews, who passed away at his home in McKinney, August 6, 1890. She lived practically her entire life in McKinney. She was united in marriage February 12, 1886 to the late State Senator J. R. Gough, who died at his home in this city, Nov. 19, 1916. She is survived by three children -- one son, A. B. Gough, a business man of Memphis, Tenn., and two daughters: Mrs. Ann Gough Hunter, a prominent newspaper woman of the state, connected with the Dallas Morning News, and Mrs. George Nay of Chicago. She is also survived by two grandchildren and one brother, Billie Andrews, of Bochita, Okla., and one sister, Mrs. N. A. Arter, of Warren, Tenn.
Mrs. Gough was in her usual good health until within six hours of her death, when she was stricken and from which she never rallied. He daughter, Mrs. Hunter, from Dallas arrived at her bedside before she passed away, but her other daughter from Chicago, and her son from Memphis did not arrive in McKinney until about noon yesterday in time for the funeral and burial that afternoon, which was directed by the Keller-Crouch Funeral home.
The active pallbearers were: Walter B. Wilson, Jim P. Dowell, T. E. Craig, Henry W. Warden, Dick Burrage, J. R. Crockett, Henry C. Barlow and John Doyle.
Many beautiful floral offerings completely covered her new-made grave. Many of them coming from other parts of the state.
The deceased was a sweet spirited, cultured daughter, wife, mother and sister. She was especially gifted in music. Her late husband was one of McKinney's most distinguished and successful business man, lawyer, lawmaker and influential in political circles throughout the state up to the time of his death thirteen years ago.
Among those coming here for the obsequies were: Her brother, Billie Andrews of Bochita, Okla., Miss Evelyn Finty, Mrs. Fred Heard, Miss Dale Heard and Miss Martha Whitaker, all of Dallas and Miss Lula Forshee of Plano and others.
