August Tubbe
August Tubbe paid his taxes every year until he was exempted by his age to pay the poll tax. He also cheerfully performed every duty to the best of his ability of a citizen of the United States. He served on juries, voted in the various elections held in his county, and held several positions of honor and trust. August Tubbe's name was placed by a large part of the people of Nacogdoches County on the ticket for County Judge. Not wanting to serve the county in that capacity, August Tubbe encouraged voters to select his opponent for the position. However, two years later, in 1892, the people of the district placed August Tubbe name on the ticket for Representative in the Legislature of Texas. He was defeated by only a very small plurality. During the many years of residency in the United States, August Tubbe citizenship and loyalty to the country of the United States was never questioned until 1917 after 62 years of his residency in the United States. He considered himself a citizen and had evidence of a good record as a loyal citizen of the United States as well as any natural born citizen would have. August Tubbe professed to have done at all times everything in his power to uplift the country and her people morally and religiou
At that time, Dr. John L. McGehee returned to Mississippi but did not engage in practice there. Instead he moved to a newer territory, Texas, and began his practice in Tazewell. Five years later, in 1907, he moved his practice to Burkburnett, Texas where he was regarded as the leading physician of the place. of saving he entered Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. He graduated with his medical degree in 1900. Dr. McGehee was a member of the Baptist church and had a membership in the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Woodmen of the World. He was a Democrat but devoted little time to politics of the community beyond the demands of good citizenship in which quality he is not surpassed by any according to a statement recorded in a historical ledger. The German Emperor nor the German Empire was not in existence until seven years after August Tubbe left his birth place, Prussia. August corresponded with his sister who remained in Europe for only his first twelve years in the United States because his sister died the twelth year that August lived in the United States. August never participated in any correspondence with any German, German agent or German sympathizer at any time. An interesting person, within my paternal grandmother's family tree, was a physician named Dr. John L. McGehee who practiced medicine throughout the country side of Sulphur Springs from the 1920's to the 1940's. Dr. McGehee along with his daughter, who served as his medical assistant, made daily rounds by horse and buggy administering medical care to the residents throughout Hopkins County. Family artifacts include a leather bound tablet with all of the directions for creating medicines to treat a vast number of illnesses. Also, the family has the attendance records from Tulane University of Louisiana where Dr. John L. McGehee received his medical degree.
