Notes

Note N1505

George Hammond Daugherty, was born in Audenried, Pennsylvania, attended the public schools, and afterward became a student in the Bloomsburg State Normal School, but because of ill health he put aside his textbooks before graduation. He then went to Colorado, and after his health was improved he returned to Pennsylvania and attended the Shortledge Academy at Media. When his course of study there was completed, he entered Pierce's Business College in Philadelphia, where he pursued a complete commercial course and was graduated with the class of 1887. Thus well equipped for business life he entered the office of George H. Myers & Company, coal operators, his father being interested in the business. Later he went to Birmingham, Alabama, where he established a foundry for the casting of hardware specialties. He conducted that enterprise for eight years, but misfortune overtook him, his entire plant being destroyed by fire. After this disaster he returned to Allentown, where he started the Daugherty Iron Foundry for the manufacture of general castings made to order. He also makes a specialty of grate bars. This business was founded in December 1900, and is now in a profitable condition. Mr. Daugherty is a stanch Republican in his political views, and in religious belief is a Presbyterian.^[4]
