## Biography

Daugherty was born in [Athens](/source/Athens%2C_Tennessee), [McMinn County](/source/McMinn_County), [Tennessee](/source/Tennessee), August 30, 1847.[1] He moved to Missouri with his parents, who settled near [Carterville](/source/Carterville%2C_Missouri), [Jasper County](/source/Jasper_County%2C_Missouri), in 1867. As an adult he was active in all civic enterprises of the State and county. He also worked in farming,[2] stock raising, and mining[3] and assisted in developing the [lead](/source/Lead) and [zinc](/source/Zinc) fields of Missouri. From 1890 to 1892 Daugherty held the post of associate judge for the western district of Jasper County, and then became the presiding judge from 1892 to 1896.

He was an unsuccessful candidate for renomination in 1912.

Simultaneously to this, Daugherty served as president of the First National Bank of Carterville from 1907 to 1920.
