Francis M. Daughety was born in Butler County, Ky., June 24, 1850, and
is a son of William and Abigail (White) Daughety, natives of Butler
County, Ky., and of Irish and Scotch-Irish descent. ...
Francis M. Daughety received a common school education in his youth,
but has since acquired a good practical business education. On June
20, 1863, in his thirteenth year, he enlisted in Company G,
Thirty-fifth Kentucky Mtd. Inf. (Federal service), with which he
served for one year, or until the expiration of his term of service,
being mustered out at Louisville,
Ky., December, 1864. He participated in the battle of Salina Salt
Works, Va., and many lesser engagements. After his return from the
army he farmed with his brother-in-law for one year, and with his
brother for another year. He then bought a partially improved farm of
352 acres on Indian Camp Creek, a part of which he has since sold.
Here he improved a farm, and remained until 1871, when he bought
another small farm of sixty-five acres in the same neighborhood, upon
which he remained only one year. In 1872 he bought the farm of 130
near Dexter's Mill, upon which he now resides. He now owns
well-improved farms
amounting to 380 acres. In June, 1884, he opened a general store at
Dexter's Mill, where he is doing a thriving business. For several
years he has also been quite extensively engaged in the saw-mill,
lumber, log and stave business. He is now serving as constable in
District No. 5.
He was married in November, 1867, to Mary A. Abney, also a native of
Butler County, Ky., where she was born December 7, 1852. One son and
three daughters have blessed their union, all of whom are living,
viz.: Hermina, Montreville, Abigail and Naoma. Mrs. Daughety is a
member of the Baptist Church. Mr. Daughety belongs to no church. He
was formerly a member of the Grange. In politics he is a democrat.
