S1646.1 Southwest Collection/Special Collections Library, Texas Tech University 1 small box (0.2 linear feet) English. Biographical Sketch

Frank Reaugh was the son of George Washington and Clarinda Spilman Reaugh, born on December 6, 1860 near Jacksonville, Illinois. In 1876 his family moved to a small ranch near Terrell, Texas. Inspired by his mother and the landscape where he grew up with its natural environs, young Reaugh began drawing wildlife and scenic views. Ranch scenes with cattle grazing and longhorns seem to draw his attention the most. He received his training from the School of Fine Arts in St. Louis during 1884-1885 but he also did some studies in Paris, France in 1888. By 1889 he was back in Texas teaching and painting mostly in pastel and oils, images, which gave him the honor and praise his works have delivered to the public. Some of his works are stored at the Panhandle Plains Historical Museum in Canyon, Texas and the Southwest Collection/Special Collections Library in Lubbock, Texas. Frank Reaugh, who never married, died in Dallas on May 6, 1945 at the age of 84 years.
