Maurice Gano, Lawyer, Dies.
Funeral Services Will Be Held Saturday Afternoon.
Maurice D. Gano, 62, for many years widely known in legal circles, died at 5 o'clock Friday afternoon at the home of his sister, Mrs. Thomas Scurry, 1903 Bennett avenue. Mr. Gano lived in Dallas for about fifty years. He was born at Grapevine, Tarrant County, on March 26, 1865. His father was Gen. R. M. Gano, who served with Morgan's Cavalry in the Confederate Army. He was taken while a child by his parents to Bourbon County, Kentucky, from whence they had come to Texas. While still a boy he was brought to Texas by his parents. Gen. Gano died in 1912 [sic].
Mr. Gano was graduated from the University of Kentucky and received his law degree from the University of Virginia. He is said to have received the first master of arts degree awarded by the University of Texas. He was principal of the old East Dallas grade school in the early '90s. Then he began the practice of law with his two brothers, W. B. and Lee Gano, both of whom are now dead. The firm name was Gano, Gano & Gano. In 1914 he became associated with his nephew, John T. Gano, organizing the law firm of Gano & Gano. On account of ill health he retired from the practice of law in about 1923. For about thirty years Mr. Gano taught the senior Bible class of the old First Christian Church. He was active in the work of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.
Surviving are two sisters, Mmes. Scurry and Kate G. McLaurin.
