Dougherty, January 11, 1859. Ten children were born of this union. Six sons and one daughter survive her. Two children died in infancy and Miss Lillie died eight years ago. Her husband died eleven years ago. Emma, Charles, Edward and Louis were at her bedside. Cletus and Frank are in Seattle and John was on his way home from that city, but did not reach home until Monday.
