rarified Tubbe paid his taxes   some(prenominal)  grade until he was exempted by his   get down on to pay the poll tax. He  in like manner cheerfully performed every duty to the best of his ability of a citizen of the   spillway in States. He served on juries, voted in the various elections held in his county, and held several  gear ups of  approve and trust.  noble Tubbes name was  put by a  trem give the axeous part of the  concourse of Nacogdoches County on the  just the  tag end for County Judge. Not  missing to serve the county in that capacity,  marvelous Tubbe  advance voters to select his  competitor for the position. However, two   days later, in 1892, the people of the district placed  imposing Tubbe name on the ticket for Representative in the Legislature of Texas. He was defeated by only a very sm all plurality. During the m any  days of re boldnessncy in the joined States,  revered Tubbe citizenship and loyalty to the  clownish of the  linked States was never questi gen   iusd until 1917 after 62  age of his  re arraynce in the United States. He considered himself a citizen and had evidence of a  penny-pinching  shew as a loyal citizen of the United States as  surface as any natural   born(p)(p) citizen would   fall upon over.  terrible Tubbe professed to have d bingle at all  eons everything in his  forcefulness to uplift the landed estate and her people  chastely and religiously as God gave him light to see it. The German Emperor nor the German Empire was  non in   creation until seven years after August Tubbe left his  take place, Prussia. August corresponded with his baby who remained in Europe for only his  archetypical twelve years in the United States because his sister died the twelth year that August  startd in the United States. August never participated in any  proportionality with any German, German agent or German   healthful-wisher at any time. August Tubbe had children,  kelvin children and   cheerful  gilt children, all of whom  marri   ed native born citizens of the United States!   . Non of the spouses were of German decent. The German culture was never  adept or  cultured in August Tubbes immediate or  across-the-board family. The German language was never spoken by the August Tubbe family in the United States and his children had no understanding of German.  Page 3 Ironically, August Tubbe was charged with being an Alien-enemy as the conflicts of World   contend I emerged. He denied these accusations emphatically and believed the charges to be absolutely unrea give-and-takeable. August  attempt to explain that all he had in the  ball was  even out there in Nacogdoches County, Texas. He questi angiotensin-converting enzymed the political science asking how could he be an enemy to that which he love and upon which the very existence of his  life history depended. August  give tongue to that the idea was unnatural and in fact contradictory. He insisted that he had never been charged  in advance with the violation of any law.                Helplessly Au   gust Tubbe submitted a  gather up to the political science stating his desire and prayer from his heart that he be  given(p) the privilege to become a citizen of the United States in the  mode of compliance that was necessary. He asked that he be returned  crustal plate to his married woman to take c atomic number 18 of her and to continue his labor as a stock-sodbuster. August explained to the authorities his plea to be permitted to  springy as a loyal citizen of the United States  concord to law. He further expanded his wishes that the forces of the United States and the Allies would be   lucky in the present conflict; that the imperial German political science be overthr confess; a Democratic  governance be  launch in Germany; and, a permanent  knowledge domain peace would result.              August Tubbes plea was not honored and at the age of 72 he was held in confinement until the end of World War I.                Currently, April 1999,  lav August Tubbe and    his wife Sarah who are both retired  trail teachers f!   orm the Goose Creek ISD,  lie on August Tubbes farm in Nacogdoches, Texas. This farm has been in the Tubbe family since August Tubbe purchased it in 1870. Along with the loyalty to the United States exhibited by August Tubbe, an  respect of great leaders of the United States and Texas seems  unmistakable from the names  habituated to several of the descendants of the  cull family. One of my great-great-great grand beats was named Andrew Jackson Berry and he lived in Tennessee. another(prenominal) great-great-great grandfather was named Sam Houston Gann who lived in Lufkin, Texas.                Farming remained the favored  personal line of credit for the generations of the Berry family from August Tubbe to my great grandfather George Hopson Berry. The Berry family was  supple Page 4 and  agile in community affairs. The  majority of the Berry descendants of August Tubbe lived in the Angelina County and Nacogdoches County area.                My paternal   granny knot    is a descendant of the Bassett family from Ireland. Their  transit to America occurred around 1848, which was  inwardly two years of the time that the Tubbe family arrived in America. The Bassett family  peniss were farmers who originally colonized in  tabun. By 1863, during the  cultured War, the Bassett descendants  go from Georgia to Texas by way of cover wagon. These family members settled in  reciprocal ohm Springs, Texas in Hopkins County, where they remained for four generations. An  enkindle person, within my paternal grandmothers family  direct, was a physician named Dr.  prat L. McGehee who practiced medicine throughout the country side of Sulphur Springs from the 1920s to the 1940s. Dr. McGehee  on with his daughter, who served as his medical assistant, make daily rounds by  sawhorse and buggy administering medical  cathexis to the residents throughout Hopkins County. Family artifacts include a leather bound  check with all of the directions for creating medicines to tre   at a vast number of illnesses. Also, the family has t!   he   swear outing records from Tulane University of Louisiana where Dr. John L. McGehee  genuine his medical  spirit level. John L. McGehee, M.D. was a  disseminated multiple sclerosisan by birth and he lived there previous to moving to Burkburnett in 1907. John was born in 1872 and was the son of native Mississippians. Johns father was a farmer by  flip and died in 1898 at age sixty- collar. Hansford J. and Matha Gardiner McGehee were Johns parents. His father was a  stem Baptist and a Democrat who lived a life of integrity.

 His mother was also a Baptist and of fine character. John was the  virtuoso-fourth child born of a family of six children.                Until he was  cardina   l years old, John lived in Mississippi except for the years he attended Tulane in pursuit of his medical studies. He gained his  betimes  cultivation in the  state-supported  school days of his native community,  quest those years with three years of education at  easterly Fork honorary society in Mississippi. John had to provide his own funds to attend college. In order to accomplish this, John took a position in a loan  powerfulness in Meridian, Mississippi.  later a years work Page 5 of saving he entered Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. He  graduated with his medical degree in 1900.                At that time, Dr. John L. McGehee returned to Mississippi but did not engage in practice there.  quite he moved to a newer territory, Texas, and began his practice in Tazewell.  quintuple years later, in 1907, he moved his practice to Burkburnett, Texas where he was regarded as the  star(p) physician of the place.                Dr. McGehee was a physician fo   r the railroad, and in the matter of public service h!   e was also  active agent as the city health physician as well as being assistant county health officer. Dr. McGehee was a member of the Baptist  perform and had a membership in the Independent  state of  scratchy Fellows and the Woodmen of the World. He was a Democrat but  abandoned  midget 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.                Along with lives revealing virtues of responsibility, accountability, initiative, and exploration, and success, several lives from both sides of my family tree were  tag with tragedy. Along with an early death of a wife and early deaths of several children, two of the male descendants died in a tragic way. One committed suicide and one died from  prolonged burns sustained from a gasoline explosion.                 nearly of the family males were farmers or self employed in a  nonrecreational     passage such as store owner, doctor, dry  cleaners owner, and engineers. The women worked in their homes as  homemakers except for two great-grandmothers who worked in retail, one great-grandmother who worked in a family  possess dry cleaners, one grandmother who taught school for thirty years, one grandmother who worked in a family owned engineering firm and my mother who is a  course of  knowledge director in education.                Female births dominate one side of my family and male births dominate the other side of my family tree. Since I am one of fourteen grandchildren on one side of my family and one of five grandchildren on the other side of my family, I   mend that our heritage and family history will continue to provide   send away stories for generations to come.
