More of Rosetta Wilson Carrington's Children

The above photo is Frank and Laura Daugherty

Bear with me as I go through The Wilson-Enke Descendent Book, written by Bonnie Cavenee Runge. The more I go through these names, the clearer they stay in my mind.

We are listing the children of Rosetta Wilson. Have already mentioned Mildred, Mae, and Irene.

Hugh Russel was born April 29, 1902 at Wessington. He married Gleva Ness. They had one daughter Diane. Hugh was a Ford Car Dealer in Beresford for 15 years. He died of a heart attack December 29, 1945 at the age of 43 years, 8 months. He is buried in Beresford City Cemetery. His wife Gleva is living with their daughter Diane in Moorhead, Minnesota. Note: Family lost touch with Gleva and Diane after Hugh's death. Would be interesting to find out more about them.

Laura Alice was born April 23, 1904...She graduated from a rural Hand County school and helped her mother, brother and sisters in their farming operation during her youth. On June 28, 1923 she was united in marriage to Frank Daniel Daugherty, son of George and Elizabeth (DeLong) Daugherty, also of rural Hand County. To this union 6 children were born: Lillian, Nedra, Ivan, Virginia, Carol, and Marjorie. They farmed in both Spink and Hand counties, and later moved to Wessington where he managed grain elevators for many years. Later years were again spent farming. When her husband died on May 19, 1959, Laura then worked as a bookkeeper for a local Co-op, a Minneapolis department store, a Pierre came store, and resturants in various capacities. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church of Wessington, and a friend to all who knew her. She was an avid reader with a wide range of interests and talents. A deveoted parent, she was an ever cheerful and loving mother, truly an inspiration to her children. Laura passed away on July 31, 1965, leaving a host of friends.

Gladys was born on Nov. 6, 1906. She was married to Asher Philips of Hitchcock, SD. They resided in Custer after their marriage for a few years where Asher was associated with a lumber firm. Then they moved to Seattle, Washington where he was a lumber consultant in 1942. To this union there were no children. Gladys passed away in 1966 and interned at Fall City Cemetery at Fall City, Washington.

Elda was the youngest daughter. She married Ernest Meier and to this union were born three children; Larry, who lives in Lacoma; Jerry, living in Haughton, and Ernest Jr., living in Payallup. These cities are all in Washington State. Elda succombed to cancer at 49 years of age on Nov. 3, 1959. She was a loving wife, and mother and never lived to fulfill many of her dreams and ambitions in life.

I am sorely lacking photos of many members of the Carrington family.
