The Wichita (Kansas) Beacon November 2, 1920 pg.12 VICE PRESIDENT AT 100 Colonel McDougall Was An Active Banker in Texas Denison, Texas, November 2 - The active vice-president of a bank, altho more than 100 years old, was the record of Colonel J.B. McDougall, who died recently. He probably was the only active banker in the United States whose years had stretched beyond the century mark. Colonel McDougall was at his desk in the Denison Bank and Trust Company every day until 3 weeks before his death and his knowledge of financial matters was respected and his advice so ught by the other officials of the institution. Colonel McDouglas had passed his 101st birthday when he died. It is the opinion of his daughter-in-law, Mrs. George Moulton of Denison, that the sudden death of an old Negro body servant, Uncle Jim, brought on the illness which caused the centenarian's death. Grief over the loss of his black companion, who had been a servant and counselor for 40 years, is said to have weakened the Colonel and brought on the fatal illness.
