1 Sep 1911--JAMES DOUGHERTY DEAD--"Uncle Jimmy" Dougherty, as he was
familiarly known to his friends and neighbors, is no more. He entered
peacefully into his
rest Saturday afternoon, August 26th at 3 p.m. aged 96 years and 22 days.
The direct
cause of his demise was pneumonia. He was ill only a few days, was taken
sick Thursday
and grew rapidly worse until the end. The subject of this sketch was born
in Jessamine
county, KY on August 4, 1815; came to this county in1838; was married to
Miss
Elizabeth Mobley; to this union twelve children were born, eights boys and
four girls, viz:
S.R., J. D.,James L, S.E., W.W., Tim, J.M., J. F., Mrs. A. G. Atkins,
Mrs.J.C. Williams,
Mrs Bettie George and Mrs. Jas. Dyer. All are living and all were present
at the funeral,
a very rare occurence; 50 grandchildren, one hundred great-grandchildren and
15
great-great-grandchildren survive him. He united with theBaptist church in
early age and
lived throughout life a consistent christian life. He was loved and
respected by his
fellowmen and counted his friends by the score. Surely a good man has
passed to his
reward. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. I, M, Turnage Sunday
afternoon at
New Hope church. The services were held in the church yard on account of
the large
crowd present. The bereaved have the sympathy of the entire community.
