ISRAEL DAUGHERTY, a prosperous farmer and stock raiser, residing on
section 28, Lauramie Township, was born in Clarke County, Ohio, November
8, 1829, a son of DANIEL DAUGHERTY, who was a native of Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. He was brought up on the home farm, to agricultural
pursuits, and in his boyhood attended the schools of his neighborhood,
receiving a common school education. In 1844 the family removed to
Missouri, and shortly after came to Indiana, and settled in Montgomery
County. The subject of this sketch came to Tippecanoe County in 1856,
and the same year settled on his present farm which at that time was but
slightly improved. He has always followed agricultural pursuits, and he
is now the owner of upward of 300 acres, his farm being now well
improved, and under fine cultivation. MR. DAUGHTERY has been twice
married, the maiden name of his first wife being ELIZABETH HORNEY, a
daughter of HARRIS HORNEY, and of the five children born to the union
four are yet living--PARIS, of Jasper County; LUELLA C., MINNIE, and
JENNIE K., the last three children being residents of Lauramie
Township. MRS. DAUGHERTY died in April, 1872, and March 4, 1874, MR.
DAUGHERTY was married a second time to MRS. ORLANTHA MONTGOMERY, a
daughter of MILES and MARGARET (KELLENBERGER) CARVER, and widow of
CHRISTOPHER MONTGOMERY, who was a resident of Illinois at the time of
his death. By his last marriage MR. DAUGHERTY has three children,
named--VILLA, CHARLIE and J. QUINCEY.
