David James Gough, 90, a long-time resident of Uvalde, died Oct. 18 2002, at Medina Community Hospital in Hondo.
He was born Feb. 29, 1912, in the mountains of Durango, Mexico, during the Mexican Revolution, to Charles and Anita Gough. Gough's family was involved with the mining industry and he lived in many areas in northern Mexico prior to the age of 16.
He married Lillian Bell Aug. 1, 1937, in Pharr. The couple met in Kingsville, where both attended Texas A&I University. Mr. Gough was working at J.C. Penney in Brownwood when the couple married. They later moved to Nacogdoches and Bryan.
Gough served in the United States Army in the European Theater of Operations for three years during World War II. After his service with the Army, Gough and his wife returned to Bryan, eventually going to Crystal City, Orange, Stamford and Pecos. He retired from J.C. Penney and the Goughs moved to Uvalde in 1964 when Mr. Gough opened Gough's Twix-n-Teen clothing store. He owned and operated the store for 21 years prior to his second retirement. Gough was a member of the Methodist Church.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife on May 4, 2001; one sister, Dorothy Evans; and two brothers, Herbert Gough and Charles Gough.
He is survived by two daughters, Linda Hanson of Uvalde, and Terry Jo Gough of San Antonio; one brother, Alfred A. Gough of El Paso; and one grandson, James F. Creech.
