Wilson Book - Laura Carrington Daugherty's Children

It's appropriate that I share my family with readers on this Thanksgiving Day while waiting for guests and with the wonderful aroma of turkey. The subject of today's Wilson Book relative, Laura Carrington Daugherty, no doubt had wonderful family get-togethers with those she loved. I remember her vaguely...just enough to sense her huge heart. Laura was very much loved by all who knew her. She was the sister of my grandmother, Irene Carrington Daugherty. Here is what Bonnie Cavenee Runge included about her children in 1977. There is only one child remaining, Virginia.

Lillian Edith born May 20, 1924 in Spink County. She attended Wessington Schools and graduated from Wessington High School in 1942. She worked as a bookkeeper at the bank. Her interests include gardening, sewing, reading. She earned a B.A. in History at Huron College from 1970-1974. On June 24, 1944 she was united in marriage to Calvin Fischer of rural Hand County where he farms and ranches. To this union 2 children were born.

Again...1977 was a long time ago. If readers are interested in finding out current happenings in these families, please get back to me. My purpose of going through the Wilson Book is to acquaint myself with names and places that I wouldn't have had any information about otherwise. I also want to mention that Ken has a son, Scott Klar, from a previous marriage. I've enjoyed my communications with Scott and hope to meet his wife Carolyn. They live in Savannah, Georgia.
