Oldest Native Texas Expires Suddenly at Kenney
Kenney, Tex. Sept. 13 While walking in his yard Edward Daughtrey, a prominent citizen of Austin County, was stricken with paralysis and soon died.
Mr. Daughtrey was born Oct. 20, 1825 in San Augustine county and it was thought that he was the oldest living native Texan, being at the time of his death nearly eighty years old. Mr. Daughtrey was married in 1857 to Miss Antoinette Dixon. From this union there were sixteen children of which twelve are still living eight girls and four boys.
Mr. Daughtrey came with his father, Bryan Daughtrey who settled in Austin county in 1830. His father kept an inn on the road from San Felipe to Austin during the forties. It was here that General Houston when wounded, stopped and had his wounds dressed. (Palestine Daily Herald, (Palestine, Texas), September 13, 1904; PT, Sub by FoFG)
