DOHERTY, HENRY "The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Thursday, March 22, 1900 A PIONEER DEAD. One of the oldest inhabitants of Kansas City died yesterday morning at 5 o'clock in the person of Hugh DOHERTY, 83 years old who lived at Eighteenth and Bennington streets for the past twenty-two years. Death was due to old age. Up to last Sunday he enjoyed the best of health, and during his long life had never had a sick day until then. Monday it was seen that he could not live and his family was called to his home. Toward evening he began to grow worse and at 5 o'clock he breathed his last. The deceased was an unusually vigorous man for his years and last season came to market regularly with his products, he having operated a fruit farm for many years. He was born in County Galway, where three brothers now live, all of whom are more than 85 years old. The funeral has been arranged for Saturday morning at 9 o'clock in St. Stephens church, in Sheffield, and Father O'DONNELL will officiate. The deceased leaves five children --- John, the veteran ticket broker of Union avenue, one of the first to open a business in the city; Michael, who is engaged in farming and fruit raising at the homestead in Sheffield; Patrick, a machinist; Hugh DOHERTY, Jr., a member of the police force for more than eighteen years, and Anna, who is now Mrs. W. H. HENRY, of Butte City, Mont. The latter was the only one not present at the deathbed, but she has been notified and will arrive in Kansas City Friday evening. Interment will be in Mount St. Mary's cemetery. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
