Notes - William and Ruby's family trees are contained in another file.William "Beverly" was born in Union Co. KY. He was a businessman that engaged in a number of pursuits. Before the depression he was assuming the notes of default farmers and sharing the profits as he engaged in agribusiness. His son said that he lost everything during the depression when he covered the loans of his "tenant" farmers. He moved to Evansville IN in 1929 and worked for a while as a watchman in a factory before his death. William Beverly's death notice from the paper says: 2 brothers, Leslie, Los Angeles & James R. Detroit and 2 sisters, Sister M. Charles and Mrs. Beulah Grisham, Dearborn Mich.
About your Grandfather. I was only about nine years old when he died and did not know that much about him. He was living in Evansville, IN and I can remember him coming to see us in Uniontown, KY. He came down one time and had a new car and took us for a ride. I don't know what model it was - I just remember how happy we all were because it was the first time we had ever ridden in any car other that a Model T, or a Model B. Ford. My brother (Vincent) bought a used car when he first moved to Evansville and I believe he bought it from Uncle Beverly.
Cousin Joe
Mike:
My wife and I went to a wedding reception in Owensboro and on the way up from Nashville we stopped in Morganfield to visit St. Ann's cemetery, where my parents are buried. Near by we saw several Gough tombstones:
Burton A. Gough, wife Mary U. and daughter Jewell T.
William B. Gough, wife Ruby M. and son Russell
John G. Gough (1833-1913 and wife Lillie H. (1858-1933). These are not in the data base you sent me, the first two families are.
Thought you might be interested.
