In triumph of living in that, he was entei'ing upon a new life He advised all to meet him in heaven. Before his death, he called his children to his bedside, and begged them to be faithful to God. He made no complaint during his long illness. '•^ hen he felt he was entering the river of death, and his feet were pressing the silent shore, he declared his hope and faith of a better life beyond. He passed to rest calmly and gently as Christians do." F. M. Darling, the second son, in early life had a fair education, physically and mentally. November 5, 1872, he married Robert Alexander's daughter, Harriet ; she has had one son and one daughter — Robert Ezra Darling and Lilly Avis Darling ; they lived two years on Robert Alexander's place, where he was run over by a horse and nearly killed ; his father bought him the James Edgar farm of 56 acres of fine land ; he has erected elegant and commodious buildings on it ; Mr. Darling was caught in the shaft of a threshing machine in the fall of 1877 ; he sustained internal injuries, had his arm broken in three places, and dislocated at the elbow, but finally recovered.

DAUGHERTY, CHARLES, farmer; P. 0. Butler. Among the hardy, hard-working yeomen of our county may be named Charles Daugherty, of Worthington Township. He was born in Washington Co., Penn., May 11, 1806 ; his father, Roderick Daugherty, was of Irish descent and a shoemaker by occupation ; he joined a light horse company of volunteers during the war of 1812, and started at once for the seat of action ; by the time they arrived at Pittsburgh, however, peace was declared, and they were obliged to return to their homes without getting even one shot at the "red coats." Mr. Daugherty then returned to his trade, which he continued to follow as long as he lived ; he was the father of three sons and four daughters ; Charles Daugherty, early in life, was initiated by his father into the mysteries of shoemaking ; he continued to work at this trade, with pretty good success, till 1855, when he purchased a farm in the southwest corner of Sec. 6, in Worthington Township, to which he removed with his family ; he has continued to follow the peaceful pursuits of a farmer from that day to the present, and has met with very good success. Nov. 27, 1827, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary McCoUough ; his first child was born in 1828 ; his wife died in the spring of 1877, and was buried at Four Corners.

��her home in Allegheny City on the 24th of August, 1849; he continued working at his trade in Claysville until July 15, 1855, when he re- moved to Ohio, and settled in Newville, Richland Co.; he stayed there nearly three years working at his trade, and then removed to Independence, where he now resides ; during his residence there, Mr. D. has seryed nine years as Deputy Sheriif.
