General Notes: Husband - James Robinson Daugherty
He was born in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and there spent his youth until he reached the age of fourteen years. He then came to what is now Saltsburg, Indiana County, to work on the old Pennsylvania canal. In 1863 he was elected sheriff of Indiana County and removed to Indiana, where he ever afterward made his home. After serving one term in that office, in 1866, he became a member of the firm of Coleman, Ewing & Co., in the planing mill business, withdrawing from that association in 1872, when he entered on his second term of service as sheriff. At the end of that term (three years) he purchased the planing mill of which he had formerly been part owner, carrying on the business until he sold it to his son William S. Daugherty, in 1889. Mr. Daugherty was one of the foremost citizens of Indiana county in his day. He held many important borough offices, and was one of the original trustees of the Indiana State normal school, serving for many years, until his death. In politics he was a Republican, in religion a member of the Presbyterian Church.
As a young man he learned the carpenter's trade in association with William Hart, who became his father-in-law. He not only built canal boats, but also erected several wooden bridges spanning streams close to Saltsburg, particularly the famous old wooden structure across the Kiskiminetas, which was burned many years later. He was burgess of the Borough of Saltsburg in 1845, 1848 and 1861, and in 1863 was elected sheriff of Indiana County, so serving for three years. He served a second term as sheriff beginning in 1872. He was elected a trustee of the Indiana Normal School, later known as the Teachers' College, on May 17, 1875, so serving for the rest of his life. After his first term as sheriff, he bought the old Coleman and Ewing Planing Mill and Lumber Yard, continuing that business until it was taken over by his son, William S. Daugherty, and his grandson, Hart Daugherty, who carried it on into the 1930s.
