    1. Re: [TXREDRIV] Red River County man dies in Plainview
    2. Jim Giddens
    3. Thanks Claud, According to the Red River Recollection book, Harry Igo was one of the directors of Madras Cemetery. This was either 1970 or 1982 depending on how you interpret the article. There are a log of Igo graves at Madras and 3 at Concord/Giddens Cemetery with death dates of 1871, 1874 and 1908. The 2 cemeteries are less than 2 miles apart. John Igo of Clarksville died very recently, the was about 60 years of age and had ranched all his life in Red River Co. Yes, went to school with him also. He was one of the real cowboys and in the 50s, that was not the cool thing. You did not wear it, if it did not fit except maybe on rodeo week. The Igo and the Clark boys were all ranchers. Now, (Little) Jim Clark is a banker. Little Jim is what many call him because is real tall like his dad (James/Jim) and his uncles. He is a fine young many and does a lot of good cherty / civic work in Clarksville. There has always been a James Clark in RR Co since the first one.
