Source:	The following interview was located in the Madill City Library 
copy of “Madill History  -  Historical Edition, September 11, 1952”.  It is 
entitled “R. L. STOUT Might Be An Old-Timer” and is quoted in full as 
follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------
	



  		R.L. STOUT has lived in Marshall County 62 years, coming 
here with his parents when he was 18 years. (Author’s note:  His full name 
was ROBERT LEE STOUT, but was commonly known as BOB. His 
father’s name was Green Berry Stout and mother was Sarah Lamb. Green 
Berry died 12/25/1932 and was buried in Ravia community, Johnston 
County.  Green Berry operated a wagon yard in the early days of Madill.)
		The family settled east of Aylesworth and Mr. Stout was a 
farmer near Aylesworth until he moved to town just a year or so ago.
		He was married to Miss Della Wilhoite in 1903. (Author’s note: 
Her full name was Ardella Wilhoite)
		Mr. Stout recalls when there was only a ranch house at 
Cumberland and the first store that was built there.  He also recalls much of 
the early day building in Madill and when the first train came through here.
		Mr. Stout was born in Nashville, Tennessee, moving from there 
to Texas, and later to Oklahoma in a covered wagon.
		The STOUTS were the parents of three sons, all farmers, 
WALTER, MELVIN, and BUB. (note:  A misunderstanding apparently 
occurred here inasmuch as there were many other sons of R. L. STOUT, 
however, the three named above in the article were the three LIVING IN 
MADILL at the time of the interview. Also, BUB’s name was in fact, 
ETHER, but known only as BUB in the community)
