General Notes: Husband - John M. Daugherty

---

He was born in Blair County, PA, on a farm in Sinking Valley, at what later became the city of Altoona. He grew up there, obtaining his education in the township public schools, and passing his youth in farming pursuits. On leaving home, in 1866, he learned the trade of boilermaker in the Pennsylvania shops at Altoona, and continued to follow it in the same employ after his removal to Renovo, Clinton County, where he remained until December, 1870. His next location was at Titusville, his wife joining him there in February, 1871, and he was with Brown & Dillingham, manufacturers of oil well supplies, in the capacity of boilermaker until October, 1871. His home thereafter was in Oil City, where he began work with the Oil Creek & Allegheny River Railroad Company, later the Western New York & Pennsylvania and eventually the Pennsylvania, becoming foreman of the boiler shop and serving as such until his retirement in August, 1913. He was a stanch Republican and interested in politics and the public affairs of his community, representing the First ward in the council eight years. He was a prominent member of Hayes Post, No. 167, G. A. R., having served in the Civil war as a member of Company D, 125th Pennsylvania Infantry, attached to the 12th Army Corps and Army of the Potomac and in service under Col. Jacob C. Higgins, Brig. Gen. Thomas Kane and Generals Mansfield and Slocum. He was mustered in at Harrisburg, Aug. 13, 1862, and mustered out May 18, 1863. His field service included action in the battles of Antietam and Chancellorsville. He was president of the Grove Hill Cemetery Company, and a leading member of the Baptist Church, which he served as trustee and deacon. [CAB, 663]
