ArizonaRealCountry.com 9 February 2018 In 1904, Clay married Annie Johnston. Reportedly, he had met her only four days before marrying her in San Antonio, Texas. She was attending boarding school there. The couple wound up having one son. And what about the match between Bob Gentry and Clay in 1907? In an interview later, Annie said that Clay had beaten Bob at a ten-head match there in Muskogee, Oklahoma after Gentry had just won the “World Championship Steer Roping” contest. After Clay won this first match, Gentry was complaining about something or another, so Clay challenged Gentry to another match. Eleven head for Clay, ten for Bob—best time overall wins. Annie recounted, “Gentry took him up it (they bet for another $1,000), after which I felt sure we’d have to sell everything we had just to hold onto Kelly (Clay’s horse). Without Kelly, Clay would be sunk.” The next day, the Muskogee Times-Democrat reported, “It is very doubtful whether such a roping as was turned in by McGonagill yesterday has ever been equaled.” Clay roped eleven steers in 451.8 seconds to Gentry’s 458.8 on ten head. Everyone considered Clay McGonagill to be the World Champion Steer Roper. The McGonagills lived on a ranch near Monument, New Mexico. Besides his roping income, Clay supplemented his earnings by hiring out as a cowboy. The legendary Clay McGonagill was killed on October 24, 1921, while hauling hay on the Pima Indian Reservation, near Sacaton, Arizona. He had stopped the wagon he was driving to clear the road of a down power line. As it turns out, the power line was still live and carried about 11,000 volts. Clay was killed instantly. He was posthumously inducted into the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum Rodeo Hall of Fame in 1975. Why a will may not be enough? - What do you need? - Where do you begin? - Why plan?
