Continuing with clippings...the following was printed by the Wessington Times Enterprise (SD), August 5, 1949. I need to give Chuck S. recognition for sharing this with me.
John William Daugherty was the uncle of my grandpa Fred I. Daugherty and the brother of ggrandpa George. I have very little information concerning he and his wife. I don't believe that they had any children, though one observer discovered a Miller (SD) Cemetery stone that may have been Mary's grave and near it an infant marker. I need to visit that cemetery and search this out. Also, after reading one of Hattie Daugherty Place's bios, Mary may have been very ill for a good length of time. Mom always called him Uncle Will.
Funeral Services Held for John W. Daugherty - "Funeral services were held last Wednesday, July 27th, for John William Daugherty, 85, who died at his home near Spotswood (SD) on Sunday, July 24th.
