He was employed by Illinois Central Railroad for several years before moving to Marshalltown and was employed at M & St. L railroad (Minneapolis & St. Louis Railroad) retiring in the summer of 1959.
Survivors include his wife Martha Quies,a son Ray B. Daughenbaugh Jr and a daughter Maxine Violet. His 2 sisters Mrs Eva Frueh of Freeport and Ada Pontenberg of Stockton also survived.
He is my grandfather who I never met as he passed away before I was born in 1961. My father or his son Ray Jr. also worked at M & St. L Railroad before moving to Chicago and becoming a bowling alley mechanic. I understand that he enjoyed drinking and smoking with his wife Martha at the local establishment. He was also a very jealous man who fought for his wife's honor a few times as the story was told to me.
