(2nd Obituary)

DAUGHERTY—Elizabeth Nee Hardesty, born December 11, 1821, Richland, Belmont County, Ohio. United in matrimony to Hiram Daugherty April 18, 1839, at Crawfordsville, Ind. To them were born—by adoption—one child, Martha, wife of H.R. Harder, of this place, and by whom she became the grandmother to ten children and three great-grandchildren, who sincerely mourn her decease.

For many years she, with her husband, were honored members of the Christian New Light Church, in Indiana. In 1875 with her husband she embraced the faith of Latter Day Saints under the administration of C.H. Jones, of the Reorganization, the 25 of March.

She has ever lived a consistent, exemplary, Christian life, loved, honored, and respected by all who became acquainted with her.

In her family relations, she—if it were possible—more than friend and mother, sparing no sacrifice on her part that might contribute for others' comfort.

Her decease occurred May 1, 1901, at the home of her foster daughter in this place at 10:30 a.m., just 6 years lacking one day after the demise of her husband, her age being 79 years, 5 months, and 20 days.

Funeral services were at the residence in charge of Elder John D. Bennett, Elder H. A. Stebbins pronounced the discourse, assisted by Elder Bennett. Interment was in Rose Hill cemetery, May 2nd, at 3:30 p.m.
