MRS. MARGARET DAUGHERTY
Mrs. Margaret Daugherty, of Holton was born in Illinois, April 18, 1841 and died at the home of her son and daughter, John and Mary M. Daugherty near Holton, April 16, 1911, age 70 years.
Mrs. Margaret Daugherty became a member of the Christian church at the age of 17 in Missouri. She was united in marriage to Mr. Alkade Martin in 1853. To this union two sons were born John and Joseph. John was called to the celestial home at the age of 18 months, Joseph lives in Wallace county, Kansas.
Mr. Alkade Martin served in the war, dying while there of typhoid fever. After Mr. Martin's death, she lived a widow for several years, and was then united in marriage to Dawson G. Daugherty. To this union ten children were born, five boys and five girls, Miss Mary M. Daugherty, Mrs. Sinda A. Mager, John Daugerty, Orren Daugherty, James S. Daugherty, Dawson G. Daugherty, who live near Holton. Mr. Reuben Daugherty, of Wallace, Kans., Mrs. Maggie Davis, of Colorado Springs, Mrs. Anna Nelson of Randoff Kans., Mrs. Rhoda J. Trosper of Morland, Kans.
Her husband Dawson G. Daugherty died December 26, 1896, since which time she had lived with her children until she was called to the heavenly home, the golden cord is broken, the silken strings are loosened, the smiling, welcoming angels have opened wide the pearly gates and called Mrs. Daugherty to her celestial home. Silently she sleeps at Holton. But while she's gone her influence will be lasting in the community in which she lived. Her memory will live in the minds of her friends and her loss will be mourned as few have ever been.
The funeral took place at the Holton cemetery where she was laid by her husband's side. She leaves eleven children to mourn her loss and a host of friends.
O Father in thy wisdom, soothe the heart stricken relatives and friends, and visit the home in thy kindness, made desolate and sorrowful by her death. Teach them to follow the sweet lesson, exemplified by the noble Christian life of this womanly woman and when earth's pilgrimage is over reunite this loving family circle so ruthlessly broken by a mother's death.
Silently, slowly, one by one,
The roses softly fall,
Silently, quickly, from our midst,
Passed one loved by all.
As the spring day passed slowly by,
With its sorrow and joy for all,
Silently, sweetly she slipped away
In answer to Heaven's call.
Mother home without you
Will not be as before
With children grieving,
And you there no more.
Mother we sorrow to give you up.
To see you never more,
But when our time comes we know,
You'll meet us at Heaven's door.
