DAUGHERTY, CRAMER 

Posted by Brad Goff <bggoff@teleport.com> on Sun, 22 Mar 1998

Surnames: 

Francis, daughter of James and Mary Ann (Cramer)Daugherty, was born November 
24, 1834, at Little Glady, Ohio. She was the forth of a large family of 
children. In 1842 James Daugherty with his family moved to Indiana, located 
at Darlington for a short time. Then for a year or two he had an interest in 
a carding and wool factory in Crawfordsville. In 1845 they moved to Ladoga. 
Mr. Daugherty built a grist mill, the business which for years was one of the 
leading industries of the town; he also built for his family a beautiful and 
comfortable home.

In 1855 Francis was married to B.F. Goff. After living in Indiana for some 
time they moved to Kansas, leaving there they came to Meeker in the fall of 
1888, where the husband and father answered the last call July 1910. To this 
union was born nine children, eight of which lived to grown, James D. dying 
here in 1892. Harry, Joe, John, Andy, Homer, Bertha and Celia with thirteen 
grandchildren and nineteen great grandchildren, one brother and sister (being 
seventy eight and eighty years) are left to morn her death. Mrs. Bertha 
Ralston and Mrs. Celia Rader and Homer Goff were the only ones with her till 
the last.

Grandma Goff became a member of the Christian Church at the age of fourteen. 
Rev Elston held the service at the house, having as his text "The after glow 
and the beautiful sunset" which we all know was her life from which she will 
be greatly missed.

This obituary was published in The Meeker Herald February 25, 1922.

The following are my notes:

Francis N. Daugherty married Byron Fisher Goff, 21 Feb. 1855 in or near 
Ladoga, Montgomery, Indiana. Francis died in Meeker Feb. 15 1922. She is 
buried in Highland Cemetery, Meeker. There is no marker for her grave.
