This book has no cover, and no index, and no author. I bought it on Ebay; it just has the insides, but it is full of Indiana biographies. I am not researching this family, just thought I would share. I do not know anymore about these families or these surnames. NOTE: I don’t know if there is any additional mention of this family in the book, it has no index. I do not want to sell this book. I am typing the biographies from it. Typed by Lora Radiches: Other surnames mentioned in the biography of ALBERT L. DOUGHERTY are: Dougherty, Bates, Nixon, ALBERT L. DOUGHERTY is one of the progressive young businessmen of the City of Muncie, where he is president of the Dougherty Cake Products, Inc., a concern that contributes definitely to the industrial and commercial precedence of this city, the judicial center of Delaware County. Of the inception and development of this well directed corporation adequate record is given proceeding, in the personal sketch of Albert U. Dougherty, who is treasurer of the corporation and who was the founder of the business, he being the father of Albert L. Dougherty, president of the company, so that in this direct connection further data concerning the business and the family history are not demanded. Albert L. Dougherty was born in the City of Indianapolis, June 20, 1898, and after having there profited by the advantages of the public schools, including the high school, he continued his studies in Wabash College, this state, and in the University of Wisconsin. After leaving the latter institution he became assistant manager of the Spink Arms Hotel in Indianapolis, a position that he retained about two and one-half years. He next gave about eighteen months of service as district salesman, in the southern states, for the Boncilla Laboratories, dealers in toilet goods. He then became associated with his father in business and assisted in the organizing and developing of the present Dougherty Cake Products Corporation, of which he is the president. His vigorous executive policies have had much force in the up building of the large and prosperous business now controlled by this important industrial and commercial concern, the trade of which extends through nearly all sections of Indiana, and into each of the adjacent states. In his home city Mr. Dougherty is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club, the Dynamo Club, the Muncie Advertising Club, the Indianapolis Athletic Club and the Delaware Country Club. He is affiliated with the Phi Delta Theta college fraternity, and he perpetuates the more gracious associations of his overseas service in the World war by his affiliation with Post No. 19, American Legion, in his home city. In 1917, within a short time after the nation’s entrance into the World war, Mr. Dougherty volunteered for service in the Medical Corps of the United States army. He was given preliminary training at Base Hospital Number Thirty-two, Fort Benjamin Harrison, near Indianapolis, where he was stationed three months, and with his unit he then embarked for France, where Base Hospital Number Thirty-two was placed in active service commission at Contrexville. There he continued his loyal and efficient service until April 1919, when he made the home voyage, he having received his honorable discharge, at Camp Taylor, Kentucky, in May 1919. June 7, 1923, recorded the marriage of Mr. Dougherty to Miss Angeline Nixon Bates, daughter of William 0. and Clara (Nixon) Bates, of Indianapolis. Mr. Bates achieved distinction as author, playwright and journalist, and, with the effective collaboration of his talented wife, he effected the founding of the Little Theater of Indianapolis, for the presentation of especially high-grade dramatic works. With this movement in the capital city he continued to be identified until his death, October 31, 1926. Since the death of her husband Mrs. Bates has continued her activities in the developing of the finer type of dramas, both in the middle states and in California, the while she continues to maintain her home in Indianapolis. Mrs. Dougherty supplemented her course in high school at Indianapolis by there attending Butler University and also by studying in the University of Wisconsin and the School of the Theater in New York City. She is affiliated with the Kappa Kappa Gamma and the Psi Iota Psi sororities, is a member of the Art League of Muncie, and she and her husband hold membership in the Universalist Church in their home city.
