Mary Louise McGaughey, known in her maidenhood years in Anson as Loula Castles, died in New York City. She was buried in Anson by the side of her husband, whom she married in 1902; their only daughter, and Mrs. McGaughey's only sister, Miss Jack Castles accompanying the body from New York. She was the oldest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. George W. Castles, her mother having died in 1915 and her father in 1917. Both parents were laid to rest in Mount Hope Cemetery in Anson where their baby girl, "Little Susie" had been put away in 1895. In 1905, here rancher husband, J.D. McGaughey, familiarly called "Buff" McGaughey of Stonewall County was buried on the Castles family lot. Can anyone wonder why, even before her last sickness, Mrs. McGaughey requested that her body be returned to Anson for burial in the family home town. She has left behind her only daughter - Mrs. Sidney Van Leuween; one sister - Miss Jack Castles; one granddaughter; one great-granddaughter; one brother - Sid G. Castles. Two brothers - Mac and John preceded her in death.
In later years, concerned for the education of her only daughter, Mrs. McGaughey took her daughter to Columbia where her sister, Miss Jack Castle held a position in the library. The train that brought Mrs. McGaughey's body back home was two hours late, but a concourse of friends from Abilene, Anson, and Munday awaited patiently. At the graveside, they stood, as the did the pallbearer friends, while Rev. David Binkley, pastor of the First Methodist Church, with fitting words and thoughts conducted her funeral service, a few selected voices singing old church hymns she loved.
