Life never has been all roses for
T. M. McGehee, completing his first
term as Taylor county's superin-
tendent of education and unoppos-
ed for reelection. Born on a farm
near Alvarado tn Johnson county
(1885), he moved to Hopkins coun-
ty a few years later and it was
there that he started to school at
Wood Springs when he was eight
years old.
But young Tom was not destined
for ‘an uninterrupted school life.
The summer after his first school
term he was bitten by a snake. The
poison seriously affected his left leg
and it was not untH he was 13 years
old that he was able to walk well
enough to go to school again
In the meantime, his family had
moved to Taylor county in 1899, set-

enroll in the state teachers college
at San Marcos.
He completed four years' work
majoring in manual training, then
went to the University of Texas to
take postgraduate work in his ma-
jor and make preparations tor en-
tering medical school. Possibly as a
result of his early experience with
the snske bite, which continued to
give him trouble, MeGehee had de-
cided to become a doctor.
But the study of medicine was
another dream which fate had de-

tragically shattered in 1915 when'
McGehee's father accidentally shot
himself while he was on a hunting
