More "Daugherty Folder - 6"

It's kind of fun checking to see all the variety of family information that can be found in my looseleaf notebooks. I picked a fairly empty one but found out that there is so much included. This is a continuation of the last posting concerning the Daugherty family.

I have a copy of the Record of Marriage between Fred Daugherty (grandpa Fred's uncle) and Ona Huddleston, both residents of Wessington SD. Fred is 52 and Ona is 32. The marriage takes place in Huron, SD on Febuary (Feby) 19th, 1924. Because all of my branches of both of my parents have their roots in the Homestead Act, I found some information concerning that time period and included it in my folder. Gayle Klar's (whose father, Scott is the son of my Uncle Ken Daugherty) resume comes next. Following that is the 2008 Christmas letter of cousins Doug and EllaMae Goehring and a Christmas letter of his brother Curt and his wife Joyce.

There is a letter from Twila Parmerly Ford giving her family tree information. Twila's grandmother is Bertha (my grandpa Fred's sister). I think I found Twila's phone number but left a message and haven't heard anything. I need to try contacting her again. I also have a picture of Twila and Ed's semi, "Purple Road Runner" sent Christmas of 1977. Also included is another letter written by Twila and a 1978 Christmas card showing Twila with a mule and horse. I would love to meet her.

In 2004 Linda Marcus and her mother Joan Daugherty (Ivan's widow) organized a Daugherty reunion. I went by myself as mother was in the hospital and typed out the listing of the people attending. Much of the information has changed, but I included it in my notebook. Since then, Beulah has passed away, Marjorie Daugherty Oswald also, Terry Johnson Clark also has died (her mother was Carol Daugherty), and Mark Oswald (Margie's son) has completely fallen off my radar.

Next come copies of Wm. McGirr's obituary, Lucy McGirr's as well, and newsy stuff of Cliff McGirr, which I'll use in the December Prairie Roots. Following this is the Family Group Record of Jack and Mabel McGirr and one of Cliff and Lucy (Rowen) McGirr.

There is this terrific photo of lots Daughertys at a gathering that ocurred when the Parmelies rented a place SW of Wessington after moving back from Wyoming. I haven't published these in Prairie Roots yet. I have a label from a photo that I have not found that lists members of the DeLong family, McNeil family, and Genevieve and Elizabeth DeHaven. Sure wish I could find the photo. I never had the photo, just found this label in a box at Beulah's.

I've got a current photo of Doug and EllaMae Goehring, Barb Goehring Geidel and Lonie Teachout (whose mother, Virginia Daugherty is my mom's double first cousin).

Next is a pretty important document that Randy and Diane McGirr with some help from me, put together on the Daugherty/DeLong family. We included all we knew of the family. Clarence McGirr's illness and subsequent death has stopped the polishing up of the document, but hopefully we'll be able to share it with other members of the family soon.

There is an E-Mail from Linda Marcus concerning "The Axe" found in the museum in Huron, SD. I've also copied an Abe Lincoln Timeline to help organize the dates of the family sotry.

Curt Goehring wrote a wonderful autobiography of him for Prairie Roots and I've kept a copy in my folder. Also included is a story of Delores Daugherty written by one of her daughters.

Next is a copy of Charles Daugherty's obituary and one of Richard Daugherty and Leo Parmely. I love the wedding anniversary picture of Alton and Beulah Daugherty Goehring on their 40th wedding anniversary.

I've got a copy of Laura Carrington Daugherty's obituary, one of Frank Daugherty, and a story of the McNeil Family written by Lois McNeil Duxbury. Grace Lawler Parmely's obituary is next. She was married to Donald Parmely, a cousin of Mothers. Lastly is a Pedigree chart for mom, Helen Irene Daugherty.

Wow! That's a lot of wonderful information in an almost empty folder. I love going through materials again and again and finding exciting information and memories.

Back to the Daugherty's - historical documents

I've been gone a bit...teaching a class in the southern part of Wisconsin and hosting a sister of my father's. This will be my first posting for the month of November. I began looking through my Daugherty information and taking the time to contact some of the people that I haven't heard from for awhile.

I am going through "Daugherty - 6", the latest of my Daugherty notebooks. There are rememberances of Clarence McGirr with Uncle Robbie's horses, Linda Keehner's notes on "the Cradle", a note from Scott Klar's daughter, Gayle, Pesiska information from Randy McGirr, friendly note from Bob Wakefield, author of "Trail of the Asses", a fun message from cousin Gwyn Johnson, Mom's Christmas letter after Dad's death (one year ago),and Curt Goehring's description of moving to Germany.

Next came Linda Marcus's memories of her father, Ivan Daugherty, a handwritten letter and poem from Clarence McGirr (I'll miss his delightful correspondences), and a letter from Sheila Tschetter whose husband, Ray is a descendent of Dorothy Daugherty, daughter of my ggrandfather George Daugherty and his second wife, Emma Grace Henninger. I wrote to Sheila and hope to get some information concerning Dorothy as there are still some remaining people of her generation that would like to know what happened to her. This would be a great subject for Prairie Roots. Dorothy is the half sister of my grandfather, Fred I Daugherty, and I know so little of her.

In this 6th book of Daugherty's I shared the cradle story with Tom Shawcross, a relative from the Pepper family. I see that I need to get back to him on the timeline of the story. I next have a copy of the marriage certificate of Fred Daugherty & Irene Carrington (my grandparents). The record of Marriage is dated May 3, 1920, from Miller, Hand, S.D. Fred is 23 and Irene is 22. They are "American." There is a clergyman, Robert Tarleton, but it doesn't say where they were married (church, courthouse, etc.).

I have a small WWI Draft Registration Card, from years 1917-1918 for Fred Irvin Daugherty. A bit hard to read, it shows him at age 21 living Forsyth, Montana. His birthdate is July 2, 1896. Fred's father is born in Peoria, Ill. His eyes are gray and hair is light brown. An interesting document.

I have a 1900 South Dakota, Beadle County Census...also hard to read. I see Martha Daugherty, my gggrandmother, with Fred R Daugherty, her son, and the uncle of my grandfather, Fred I, as head of the household. Martha is 47 at this time and her husband William no longer is living with them. Edward, another son is also living with them. Also on the Census is Martha's daughter, Emma and husband Charles Brady and their children. On the very same page is my ggrandfather William Wilson and spouse Lydia with Peal and Mary. Then there is Hattie Daugherty Place (Martha's daughter) and her children. The other names are Roth and Barnes, which I'm not familiar with. Amazing that so many family members are on the same page. I'm wondering where my ggrandfather, George, another child of Martha is at the time of this Census.

There's certainly more in this "just begun" book than I expected and I'll continue perusing it on the next posting.

Note: I have met Marilyn twice and hope to meet some of her siblings. The Marilyn Parmerly that Larry married is my 2nd cousin from the Daugherty side of the family. Her grandmother was a sister to my grandfather.

Wilson Book - Mildred's Children

I've already shared the pictures of Mildred Carrington Deaver's children, Doris and Glenn a couple of posts ago. I wish I had more. In fact I wish I had more family pictures altogether. They must exist...forgotten or ignored. Or maybe the owners don't realize how few family pictures some of us have and how important the sharing of them is.

Doris Lorraine Deaver Baily was born on March 31, 1920 in rural Hand County (SD). She grew up and was educated in Wessington schools. Then she graduated from St. Mary's School of Nursing with an R.N. degree. She served in the U.S. Army Nurse Corp World War II, 1942-46 -- 56th Evacuation Hospital for 2 1/2 years, Italy and North Africa. Decorations received --4 service starts, good conduct and European theatre medal. She worked at many phases of nursing such as general duty, industrial, doctor's offices, and mental health with a career span of more than 40 years. She married James Baily and resides at Granite Falls, Washington. They have no children.

Glen Carrington (Buddy)Deaver was born June 14, 1923 in rural Hand County. He attended rural Hand County schools, and was graduated from Wessington High School in 1941. He worked in the shipyards in Seattle at the onset of World War II, and joined the U.S. Army, serving in the Marshall Islands and several other locations in that theatre of war. After the war, he became associated with Ford Motor Company, and has continued his career with this firm in Seattle and Anchorage areas. He was united in marriage to Beverley Stanley of Seattle, and to this union four children were born; Michael, Forrest, Roger, and Laurie.

There must be some way of getting in contact with the children of Buddy. Perhaps I should just Google their names and see what happens.

More of Rosetta Wilson Carrington's Children

The above photo is Frank and Laura Daugherty

Bear with me as I go through The Wilson-Enke Descendent Book, written by Bonnie Cavenee Runge. The more I go through these names, the clearer they stay in my mind.

We are listing the children of Rosetta Wilson. Have already mentioned Mildred, Mae, and Irene.

Hugh Russel was born April 29, 1902 at Wessington. He married Gleva Ness. They had one daughter Diane. Hugh was a Ford Car Dealer in Beresford for 15 years. He died of a heart attack December 29, 1945 at the age of 43 years, 8 months. He is buried in Beresford City Cemetery. His wife Gleva is living with their daughter Diane in Moorhead, Minnesota. Note: Family lost touch with Gleva and Diane after Hugh's death. Would be interesting to find out more about them.

Laura Alice was born April 23, 1904...She graduated from a rural Hand County school and helped her mother, brother and sisters in their farming operation during her youth. On June 28, 1923 she was united in marriage to Frank Daniel Daugherty, son of George and Elizabeth (DeLong) Daugherty, also of rural Hand County. To this union 6 children were born: Lillian, Nedra, Ivan, Virginia, Carol, and Marjorie. They farmed in both Spink and Hand counties, and later moved to Wessington where he managed grain elevators for many years. Later years were again spent farming. When her husband died on May 19, 1959, Laura then worked as a bookkeeper for a local Co-op, a Minneapolis department store, a Pierre came store, and resturants in various capacities. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church of Wessington, and a friend to all who knew her. She was an avid reader with a wide range of interests and talents. A deveoted parent, she was an ever cheerful and loving mother, truly an inspiration to her children. Laura passed away on July 31, 1965, leaving a host of friends.

Gladys was born on Nov. 6, 1906. She was married to Asher Philips of Hitchcock, SD. They resided in Custer after their marriage for a few years where Asher was associated with a lumber firm. Then they moved to Seattle, Washington where he was a lumber consultant in 1942. To this union there were no children. Gladys passed away in 1966 and interned at Fall City Cemetery at Fall City, Washington.

Elda was the youngest daughter. She married Ernest Meier and to this union were born three children; Larry, who lives in Lacoma; Jerry, living in Haughton, and Ernest Jr., living in Payallup. These cities are all in Washington State. Elda succombed to cancer at 49 years of age on Nov. 3, 1959. She was a loving wife, and mother and never lived to fulfill many of her dreams and ambitions in life.

I am sorely lacking photos of many members of the Carrington family.

Wilson Book - Rosetta Wilson Carrington's Children

These are the children of Mildred Carrington Deavor Daugherty...Doris and Glenn Deaver.
We've been sharing information concerning the children of Rosella Wilson. Now we'll go into the children of Rosella's twin, Rosetta Wilson Carrington who is my great grandmother. The below Irene was my grandmother.

Rosetta's first child was Mildred. Quoting from the Wilson Book, written in 1977 by Bonnie Cavenee Runge, "Mildred was born at Wessington, SD on August 29, 1893. She was the eldest child of Rosetta and Lucius Carrington. She taught rural schools in both Beadle and Hand County (SD) before her marriage to Harry O. Deaver in 1918. To this union were born two children' Doris and Glenn. Harry Deaver passed away in 1924. In 1933, Mildred was married to Charles R. Daugherty and they farmed for many years around Wessington. In 1947, they sold out and moved to Kirkland, Washington to a small acreage where they raised chickens and berries. Mildred also worked in nursing homes for many years as a practical nurse. In 1977, she passed away and was interned at Sunset Hills Memorial Park in Bellevue, Washington.

Mary (Mae) was born April 8, 1895. She grew up in Hand and Beadle Counties. She married John Gould July 5, 1912. They lived in Hand County and then moved to Forsyth, Montana, Montana early in their married life. They lived on a ranch near Forsyth in a two-room log cabin for several years and then moved back to the Wessington Community. To this union six daughters were born; Mildred, Thelma, Hazel, Helen, Gladys, and Marion. Mae was a hard-working mother. She raised those six children in the hard years of the dirty thirties. She had to scimp and save to send them all through school and high school. She died in 1951 at the age of 55, and is buried in the Wessington Cemetery. Her husband John was born in Dayton, Kentucky on August 5, 1890. He moved to Rpid City after his wife's death and worked for about 10 years. He was brought back to Wessington when he became ill with cancer. He died February 20, 1957.

Irene was born October 19, 1897, in Gilbert Township, Hand County. She was married to Fred I. Daugherty in Miller, SD on May 3, 1920. To this union six children were born; Helen, Kenneth, Beulah, Dolores, George, and David. They lived in the Wessington area until 1942 when they moved to Bonilla. Later they moved to Colorado Springs, CO, where Irene worked for 9 years for the Colorado School for the Deaf and Blind. Fred became ill with numberous allergies, while living there. He died of pneumonia after major lung surgery in 1955. He was a man of high integrity and was well respected and loved by all who knew him. He was an excellent farmer. Sometime after his death, Irene returned to SD, lived briefly near her daughter Beulah and then moved to Huron, where she now resides at 455 20th St. SE. She remains in good health at the age of almost 80. Note: The book this information is taken from was written in 1977. She has traveled many miles visiting her children and grandchildren. Also, she is active with the Senior Citizens and does volunteer work for the Huron Nursing Home. She visits residents and helps with the Sing-a-longs one day a week. This volunteer organization is a branch of the Red Cross. Irene is also a lifetime member of the Presbyterian Church. Her interests are needlework and cooking.

More of Rosella Wilson Brochvogel

I'm continuing with "Wilson-Enke" Book, compiled by Bonnie Cavene Runge. Why? Several reasons; First of all Rosella was the twin of my ggrandmother, Rosetta Wilson Carrington. Second, Rosella's husband, Leo left her with three small children and a farm and possibly returned to the Chicago area. And thirdly, my mother's (Helen Daugherty Hostvet)uncle, Fred Daugherty (not to be confused by my grandfather, Fred Irvin Daugherty) was a great help for Rosella and probably the father of Addie.

We've already mentioned Rosella's children, Minnie and Robert. Now we'll continue with Viola. Viola Brachvogel Neuharth's children and grandchildren:
