His death removed one of the county's most beloved and respected citizens.

In his quiet, efficient manner, Mr. Dougherty worked hard for every civic and community undertaking in which he was called upon to serve. Friends recalled today that the 4-H club building at East Side Park will stand as a monument to his untiring efforts, as he was one of the leaders in this work, as well as the YMCA construction work in recent years.
