ANTHONY DAUGHERTY
DIES WHILE HUNTING
Well-Known Railroad Man and
Former Resident Stricken
At George, Iowa

Anthony Daugherty, 61, former resident of Seney and LeMars and a well known railroad man in the Middle West, died very suddenly while out hunting pheasants at George, Iowa, Saturday evening. Mr. Daugherty was retired from active railroad work and made his home at Sibley, Iowa.

He went hunting with Jack Martens, a son-in-law, who lives at George, and after completing his limit for the day, got in the car to return home. While driving down the street at George, he told Mr. Martens he felt dizzy and stopped the car. He suffered a heart attack and was dead when a doctor arrived.

Funeral services will be held Tuesday afternoon from the home at 1:30 and from the Congregational church in Sibley at 2 p.m., with Rev. Paul Jackson in charge. Burial will be made at Sibley under the direction of the Masonic lodge.

Deceased was born January 11, 1877, on a farm near Seney and was united in marriage to Josephine Krudwig in LeMars on March 10, 1902. He is survived by his aged mother, Mrs. Mary Frances Daugherty, 86, of Seney, his wife and four daughters, who are: Mrs. Henry May Jr., Sibley; Mrs. L. B. Olberding, Worthington; Mrs. Jack Martens, George; and Mrs. Donald Bylander, of Worthington. Two sisters, Mrs. Paul Wood, of Sioux City and Mrs. Elizabeth Conner, of Seney, and a brother, John, of Seney, also survive.

Mr. Daugherty spent 43 years with the Omaha railroad, the last 15 years as roadmaster at Sioux Falls, Worthington, and Emerson, Neb. On account of his health he retired from service in July 1937. He lived in LeMars about 20 years ago but has been a frequent visitor here in the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. J. Simeon. Mrs. Simeon is a sister of Mrs. Daugherty.
