Wilson Book - Irene Carrington Daugherty's Childlren

Ken and Betty Daugherty

Remember that the Wilson Book was written in 1977. I'm coninuing with Irene Carrington's children. Last posting was of my mother, Helen Irene Daugherty Hostvet and her children.

Now we are reading about my Uncle Ken. Just realized that today is Ken's birthday. Happy Birthday Dear Uncle!!! Ken and Betty are living in Nebraska and are favorites of ours. "Kenneth Fred born Nov. 24, 1923. He attended elementary schools in Hand and Beadle Counties, and graduated from Wessington High School in 1941. At the onset of World War II, he worked in the shipyards in Seattle and then joined the armed services from Seattle. He served in the European theatre during the war. He returned to South Dakota in 1945, attended Huron College and worked for the Chicago Northwestern Railroad. He then moved to Wayne, Nebraska where he worked for a power company. In 1969 he moved to West Point, Nebraska where they purchased a clothing store. On June 10, 1950, he was united in marriage to Betty Janvrin of Hawarden, Iowa. To this union 2 children were born;
Kim Lee on January 27, 1954 in Wayne County, Wayne, Nebraska. He attended school in Wayne, and graduated from West Point, Nebraska High School in 1972 and served two years in Germany. He was discharged in October, 1976, and is employed at Farmers Co-op at Oakland, Nebraska. In 1972, he was united in marriage to Nancy Wood, and to this union 1 child was born; Kim Lee, Jr., on May 30, 1973.
Fred H. on October 5, 1967 in Wayne, Nebraska. He attends West Point Elementary School, and his ambition is to play football for the University of Nebraska."

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.
