March 23, 2013 - D. Daugherty's Family History - Fred Irving Daugherty

Grandpa Fred Irving (Irvin?) Daugherty is next in Uncle David's Family History.  I was 9 when he died.  I was visiting Colorado Springs with Mom.  We knew the he was very ill with lung problems.  Taking the train to Omaha, then having Uncle Ken give us a ride to Colorado, the beautiful sunrise in the plains, the  hospital waiting room (drab and dark and lonely), the funeral and seeing Grandpa in the casket (totally losing it), laying in Gram's small bedroom and listening to the guests in the next room, and Gram coming in and sitting down on the bed and telling me that Grandpa really loved the Lord.  Of course there was the cemetery...a big one with lots of comforting trees.  Later Gram moved his body to Wessington, SD where they both are today, side by side.  I think they had a good marriage.  A hard life, but a good marriage.  I'm quoting David, with italic/bold when adding my comments.

Fred Irvin Daugherty

That's half of Mom's family.  We'll have the rest included in the next posting.  I have to think that Uncle David would enjoy knowing that we are enjoying his dedicated work and sharing his memories.  David states that Grandpa's middle name was Irving, I've always thought it was Irvin.  We'll have to research this.
