Hardin County, Tennessee, June, 1860, Reuben Daugherty, he was born in Craven Co, December 15, 1778 from thence he removed with his widowed mother about the year 1800 to Kentucky on the Green River where he married Charity Gaugh 1801 in about a year or two, after he united with the Baptist Church at Sandy Creek Meeting House and was baptized by Elder Benjamin Talbert where he remained until 1818. He moved to South Alabama where within a short time, he commenced preaching a Crucified Savior which he continued to do until a few months before his death when his bodily strength failed. He departed this life February 18, 1860. His disease was a failure of the urinal organs. He was consistent Old School Baptist and publicly contended for the faith once delivered to the saints about 40 years. In his last days of weakness, his mind was much exercised in the scriptures and also much upon his Christian experience. The night before he dies, he was almost constantly quoting scriptures and trying to sing. "Jesus my all to heaven is gone;" this seemed to be his favorite song . From South Alabama he came to this country in the winter of 1829 and a few years ago, he settled in Tippah County, Mississippi and joined New Salem Church where he died and I have no doubt but that he entered into that rest that remains for the people of God although he was my father, yet amidst my grief I feel a degree of joy and gladness that he is gone from the evils and troubles of this world to meet with Jesus the Christian to all and be like him and sing his praises all eternity.
