McGEHEE, GEORGE T.
Geo. T. McGehee, member of the House of Representatives of the Twentieth Legislature, from the Ninety-first Representative district, composed of the counties of Hays, Caldwell and Guadalupe, was born in Bastrop, Texas, the Fifth day of February, and educated in that County at Seguin. He is a farmer. His popularity is evidenced by the fact that he defeated four opponents for the Twentieth Legislature by a plurality of 2700 votes. He is a Democrat, and served on the following committees: Finance, Public' Debt, Revenue and Taxation, State Asylums and Penitentiaries.
Mr. McGehee was not a candidate before the convention, but was nominated for the Legislature entirely without solicitation on his part. He served during the "late unpleasantness," as a private in Company D, Terry's Rangers, Confederate States army, and participated in all the battles of the Army of Tennessee from the first fight on Green River, Kentucky, to the last engagement. He was wounded twice. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, also of the Masonic fraternity. Mr. McGehee married a daughter of Colonel P. C. Wood, of San Marcos. He acquired very considerable influence in the Legislature by his close and intelligent attention to the business in hand, to the entire satisfaction of his constituents.
