February 24, 2013 - William and Harriet Daugherty's Children, Cont.

Today I'll be sharing with you the information that Ellen L. has given me concerning Edward Ampsted Daugherty, son of James William and Harriet Daugherty.

Edward Am(p)sted Daugherty, was born abt. 1839 in Virginia and died 5/24/1910 in Logan Township, Mitchell County, Kansas.  He married 4/7/1878 in Nodaway County, Missouri to Sarah C. Critchfield (4/19/1856 Nodaway County, Missouri - 12/12/1940 Simpson, Logan Township, Mitchell County, Kansas.)  I have seen a date of 6/18/1878 and 2/13/1877 as marriage date for Edward and Sarah Daugherty.  Edward Ampsted Daugherty owned land in the 1860's in Appanoose County, Iowa.  By the 1870 Federal Census he had sold his land and was listed as living in Allen Grove Township, Mason County, Illinois.  An article found in the newspaper in Maryville, Missouri in 1878 states that E.A.Daugherty from Illinois had been in the county for 4 years.  In the 1880 Federal Census, Edward A. Daugherty and his family is listed as living in the Hughes Township of Nodaway County, Missouri.  By the 1900 Federal Census, Edward A. Daugherty and his family have moved to Cloud County, Solomon Township, Kansas.  In 1910 and the 1920 Federal Census, Edward A. Daugherty and his family are in Mitchell County, Logan Township, Kansas.  Edward and Sarah are buried in the Green Mound Cemetery, Logan Township, Mitchell County, Kansas. Edward and Sarah had seven children;

John Emmett Daugherty, was born 12/29/1879 in Graham, Nodaway County, Missouri and died 4/5/1954 in Simpson, Logan Township, Mitchell County, Kansas.  He is buried in Green Mound Cemetery, Logan Township, Mitchell County, Kansas.  He never married.  John E. Daugherty provided a home for his mother until her death after Edward Ampsted Daugherty's death.  After his mother's passing he made his home with a sister and her husband.

Della Clyde Daugherty, was born 7/3/1880 in Skidmore, Nodaway County, Missouri and died 11/8/1976 in Beloit, Mithell County, Kansas.  Della C. Daugherty married on 4/4/1898 in Nodaway County, Missouri to Charles Peters (born abt 1874 in Missouri).  Della and Charles had four children; Alvin Ampsted Peters (7/2/1898-12/9/1960), Johnny J. Peters (1902-1903), Gretta M. Peters (8/29/1905 - 7/20/1978), and Phillip Laverne Peters (1909-9/26/1979).  By 1920 Federal Census, Della C. Daugherty Peters is listed as a housekeeper in the home of her future husband, Riley Sanford Rhoades (8/20/1882-8/12/1957) whom she married in Mitchell County, Kansas on 10/17/1921.  Riley Sanford Rhoades had been married previously and had a child, Clinton, by that marriage.  Both Della and Riley Rhoades are buried at the Green Mound Cemetery, Logan Township, Mitchell County, Kansas.

Oka Belle Daugherty, was born 7/26/1882 in Nodaway County, Missouri and died 1/29/1980 in Beloit, Mitchell County, Kansas.  On 10/29/1899 in Mitchell County, Kansas she married Ed Peters (12/31/1876 Dekalb County, Missouri - 1/12/1960 Simpson, Mitchell County, Kansas.)  Ed Peters was a brother to Charles Peters who married Oka's sister Della.  In the 1910 Federal Census Ed and Oka Peters are living in Mitchell County, Logan Township, Kansas.  By the 1920 Federal Census they are living in Asherville Township of Mitchell County, Kansas along with his sister, Hannah, Della and Charles Peters children Gretta, age 14 and Philip T. age 10.  Ed and Oka Peters did not have any children of their own and according to both of their obituaries they took these two children into their home and raised them.  Ed and Oka are buried in the Green Mound Cemetery, Logan Township, Mitchell County, Kansas.

I'll continue Edward Ampsted's children next time...there are still Amos, Lilly, Fratica, and Charles.  Curious why Oka and Ed took in Della's youngest two children.  Just surmising...this may hve been when Charles died.
