    3. 1 Sep 1911--JAMES DOUGHERTY DEAD--"Uncle Jimmy" Dougherty, as he was familiarly known to his friends and neighbors, is no more. He entered peacefully into his rest Saturday afternoon, August 26th at 3 p.m. aged 96 years and 22 days. The direct cause of his demise was pneumonia. He was ill only a few days, was taken sick Thursday and grew rapidly worse until the end. The subject of this sketch was born in Jessamine county, KY on August 4, 1815; came to this county in1838; was married to Miss Elizabeth Mobley; to this union twelve children were born, eights boys and four girls, viz: S.R., J. D.,James L, S.E., W.W., Tim, J.M., J. F., Mrs. A. G. Atkins, Mrs.J.C. Williams, Mrs Bettie George and Mrs. Jas. Dyer. All are living and all were present at the funeral, a very rare occurence; 50 grandchildren, one hundred great-grandchildren and 15 great-great-grandchildren survive him. He united with theBaptist church in early age and lived throughout life a consistent christian life. He was loved and respected by his fellowmen and counted his friends by the score. Surely a good man has passed to his reward. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. I, M, Turnage Sunday afternoon at New Hope church. The services were held in the church yard on account of the large crowd present. The bereaved have the sympathy of the entire community. Kathy
