Another clipping, this time from December 1952. I have quite a few mentions of Johnnie Daugherty, and will share them with you, but this one is of his brother Howard. Howard William, John Frederick, and Edna Martha were the children of Fred R. and Ona Huddleson Daugherty. Howard was born in 1924, probably in the Wessington, SD area and died in 1967.
H. Daugherty Returns from Overseas Duty
" Staff Sargeant and Mrs. Howard Daugherty and their 19 month old son, Billie, arrived Friday to spend 20 days at the home of his father, Fred Daugherty.
Sgt. Daugherty has just completed nine years in the regular army and upon completion of a 30-day leave, has signed up for another term of six years. He has spent the past 4 1/2 years overseas, most of that time being in Germany.
While serving there he met and married Anna Lenz of Neumacht, Germany. They have the one son.
Daugherty told the Times-Enterprise that his new enlistment carries a guarantee of at least six months service in the United States before he is elegible to be sent overseas again. He said that in probably eight or nine months he would be sent to Japan or Korea to 'take Johnnies's place.' His brother Johnnie is serving in Korea and is back on the front line after having been hospitalized the second time with wounds received in battle."
