           [584-585]

           GEORGE W. DOUGHERTY, proprietor of the Spring Mill near Paoli,
           is son of GABRIEL and SARAH (SCOGGINS) DOUGHERTY, and was born
           May 14, 1832, in Stampers Creek Township.  GABRIEL was a native
           of Kentucky, and in 1815, at the age of six years, he came to
           Indiana with his parents who ever afterward made their home in
           Orange County.  He was a soldier in the Mexican war and at the
           battle of Buena Vista was wounded, and also lost an eye. He was
           a man of little education and an abundance of ability. He always
           refused political honors. He was married three times, his first
           wife bearing him four children, among them GEORGE W.  She was a
           widow with one child, as was also his second, by whom he was the
           father of four more children, and by his third wife ten more,
           making in all eighteen of his own.  GEORGE W. DOUGHERTY has
           always lived in Orange County, and was educated in its common
           schools. January 5,1853, he was united in matrimony to MARIA
           ANN, daughter of WILLIAM and ANNA (CORNWELL) GRIGSBY, who were
           among the earliest settlers in Orange County from the South.
           Mr. and Mrs. DOUGHERTY are parents of ten children: of these
           SARAH A., WILLIAM, GEORGE, McLELLAN and ALBERT are yet living.
           From his youth MR. DOUGHERTY has been a miller by trade. In 1878
           he purchased and remodeled the Spring Mill, near Paoli, and has
           since operated it with two sets of buhrs run by water-power, and
           is doing a good business. Politically he is Democrat and
           religiously he and wife are Regular Baptists.
