HISTORY OF DALLAS COUNTY. 1001~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Colonel W. G. Welch, of Stanford, Kentucky,
who is esteemed one of the ablest lawyers in
that State. She is a lady of culture and refinement,
having graduated with class honors
from Greenville Institute in 1851, and during
the thirty-nine years of her married life
has ever been a devoted wife and mother.
General and Mrs. Gano have had twelve
children, as follows: Wm. B., John T. (deceased),
and Clarence W., sketches of whom
will be found in this volume; Sam W. (deceased);
Kate M., wife of Dr. Hugh McLaurin
of this city; Fannie (deceased); Maurice
Dudley, B. A., of Kentucky University and B.
L. and M. A. of Texas University, now practising
law in this city; Lee, a graduate of Kentucky
and Texas universities, now engaged in
the practice of law in partnership with his brother,
Maurice Dudley; Sidney Johnston, twin
brother of Lee, a graduate of medicine from
the University of Pennsylvania, recently commencing
the practice of his profession in this
city; Emma, graduate of Hamilton College,
Kentucky, and the Conservatory of Music at
Cincinnati; Frank (deceased); and Mattie, the
youngest of the family; who has not yet completed

ILLIAM F. DOUGHERTY, Secretary
of Oak Cliff corporation, was
born in Trimble county, Kentucky,
in 1847, the son of John and Sarah (Kyle)
Dougherty, natives also of that State, who
when William was ten years old emigrated to
White Rock, Dallas county, Texas.
The subject of this sketch began life as a
farmer, and after continuing that for eleven
years entered clerical work, in which he has
given great satisfaction. On the incorporation
of Oak Cliff he became its first Secretary
and has continued in that capacity through
all the changes of that municipality to the
present time. By common consent he seems
to be the unanimous choice of the citizens for
that position. He is a reliable Democrat in
his political sympathies.
In 1868 he married Miss Nannie Kyle, and
they have one daughter, named Julia.
S EORGE C. COLE, who has been in the
grocery business in Dallas since 1889,
was born in this county, August 8,
1857, the eldest of eight children born to
John H. and Elizabeth (Preston) Cole, natives
of Tennessee. They came to Dallas in
an early day, where they both still reside.
George C. was reared to farm life, and educated
at Add Ran College, Thorp's Spring,
Hood county, Texas, graduating in the literary
department in 1881. He then read law
under the tutelage of Hunt, Lathrop
