while at work at his bench in the
workroom Of his home, fixing win.
dow screen. He called to members
of his family that he felt dizzy.
Medical aid was summoned and il
was found that one side OF the body
had been affected by the stroke.
Mr. Daugherty was unconscious
from that time until his death, which
occurred this morning at s10:50
o'clock.

visors Of the county.
Mr.. Daugherty was active in the

of president. He was an historian
of both Keokuk and Lee county at

Oldest Resident Here.
James F. Daugherty was probably
the oldest settler in Keokuk in point
OF continuous residence. He has
witnessed the growth of the city
since the time it was but collec,
tion of little frontier houses, and he
has been an active participant in pro-
noting, the city's welfare. He came
to Keokuk when a lad six years old.
That was in February, 1912. The
family came here from Terre Haute,
Ind, in wagon trains.
Keokuk at that time was hardly
more than a mere frontier post. The
bluff was covered with forest trees,
with few cabins near the river.
Johnson street was the only road
leading up from the river, and ran
to Fourth street and then turned to-
ward tho south. e
Mr.. Daugherty's father came out to
this western country in 1871, but had
not finished the homo his family was
ito occupy when they arrived. SO it
was necessary to rent a cabin at
Second and Bank streets. A few
weeks later they moved to their own
home at Fourth and Johnson streets.
Born in Ohio.

were the parents of James F. Daugh-
ierty, who was born in Chillicothe,

MAY SINK GERMAN
SUB WHICH SANK
7ALl|ED VESSELS
(By The Associated I'ress.)

Chicago, Ill.,. Oct. 4.--If naval terms
of the treaty of Versailles are carried
out by the allies. the U-97, a German
submarine with record Of at least
seven allied ships sunk, will itself be
sunk in 100 feet of water about twenty
miles off Chicago harbOr this fall.
Orders for the destruction of the
U-97 were issued some time ago, but
later withdrawn pending decision
whether that part of the German peace
treaty which provides for the destruc.
ton of all surrendered warcraft is to
be put into execution. There is some
difference of opinion among the allies,
France and Italy especially being anx.
ious to keep some of the late German
ships to bolster up their own navies.
In the meantime the U.97. which
toured the Great Lakes In the interest
of the Victory Loan campaign, follow
ing the armistice, is tied up alongside
Perry's old flagship, the Commodore
jhere. Only the hulk of the old-time ter
ror of the seas remains, practically all
her machinery and fittings have been
removed, the majority to be sent to
, the Annapolis naval academy. Her
five inch deck gun rests on the wharf
beside the rust eaten hulk.
In spite of the cutting process which
the boat has undergone the hulk Is
still worth $4,000 to $4,000 as junk
according to Captain Edward A. Evers
naval commandant in the Chicago dis
trict.
