DR. LOUIS HOUGH SUCCUMBS
HE PASSES AWAY SUDDENLY AT ST. LOUIS

Carthage Creamery Man Did Much for Dairying Industry of This Area.


Dr. Louis R. Hough, a leader in the development of the dairy industry in southwest Missouri and nationally known in creamery circles, died suddenly yesterday morning in St. Louis, following a heart attack.
Dr. and Mrs. Hough, Mrs. H. W. Jensen and Mrs. C. E. Swope drove to St. Louis last Wednesday, Dr. Hough on creamery business and Mrs. Jensen and Mrs. Swope to visit relatives.
Dr. Hough had been in ill health for some time, suffering from a heart ailment and Mrs. Hough made it a point to occupy him on his trips.
Dr. Hough had suffered an attack of influenza and was forced to delay his trip a week because of that.
He was stricken in his hotel room. Mrs. Hough immediately summoned aid, but died about 10:30 in an ambulance while being rushed to a St. Louis hospital.
Dr. Margaret Carter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Carter, who is a resident pathologist at Barnes Hospital, St. Louis, was summoned and she brought Mrs. Hough and Mrs. Jensen to Carthage, the three women arriving late last night. Mrs. Swope remained in St. Louis. She is visiting her son, John Swoope, and family, at Bridgeton, a suburb.

BORN NEAR GOLDEN CITY
Dr. Hough, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wesley Hough was born on a farm near Golden City, October 3, 1880. His father and his mother, the former Emma Hoff and Charles Wesley Hough. were married
December 10, 1906 Dr. Hough was married to Elizabeth G. Hubbard at the Hubbard home in Alba, by her uncle, the Rev. Jeremiah Hubbard, a missionary minister in that area for many years. They immediately went to Portales, New Mexico to make their home. There he entered upon the practice of his profession and there their three sons were born.
Dr. Hough practiced in Portales 11 years and was forced to retire because of ill health.
The family then moved to a ranch he had acquired near Eastland, Texas and they lived there a year and returned to Carthage about 1918.

Into Creamery Organization
Dr. Hough purchased the home at Morgan Heights where they have since lived. He took things easy, while regaining his health. In 1926 he became interested in the reorganization of the Carthage Creamery, becoming a stockholder and sales manager.
In his capacity of sales manager he pushed the sale of Carthage Creamery butter in virtually all parts of the nation and became a figure in national produce circles.
He also pushed the development of the dairy industry in this region, stressing especially the value of marketing a high grade dairy product. Improved dairy stock was one goal to which he directed his efforts. Dairy meetings were held by him within a 75 mile radius of Carthage. He lent encouragement to Harry Rollins, in the development of the artificial insemination program.

Did Much for This Area
The dairy industry of this region owes much to his untiring efforts.
Dr. Hough was a communicant of Grace Episcopal church and was a vestryman. He incidentally was a member of the choir, to the last, his rich tenor voice having lost but little of its beauty, despite his years.
His sudden passing came as a great shock to Carthage and the entire district.
Mr. Hough is survived by his wife and three sons, Graydon of St. Petersburg, Florida; Charles and Emerson of Vinita, Oklahoma. The two latter and their wives came to Carthage shortly after receiving news of the passing of their father. Graydon Hough made the trip home by air, arriving today.
Other survivors are two brothers, K. E. Hough, Scottsbluff, Nebraska; Elmer Hough, Riverside, California; and three sisters, Mrs. C. H. Green, Bayard, Nebraska; Mrs. Lenna Thayer, Gilette, Wyoming; Mrs. John Kuhl, Los Angeles and six grandchildren.
There will be a family requiem mass at Grace Episcopal church. He will lie in state there from 1 until the hour of the service. The casket will no be opened at the church. The body was returned to Carthage last night by the Ulmers.
The family requests no flowers. A memorial fund for Dr. Hough has been started at Grace church and friends who desire to contribute may leave their gifts with W. W. Wright.
