Edwin ^u^erty rock Uttla Edwin McDonald Dougherty In the .ame cr?dle in whloh hii g father, Dauphin DiXoe, eo-founder of Appalachian State College, lay 89 years ago A hand-constructed cradle held together with wooden peat ii now serving a third generation of the faraoui Dougherty clan of Boone. Little Edwin McDonald Dough erty rocks today in tfie same eradle that was built in 1869 for his Grandfather Dauphin Diseoe, co-founder of Appalachian State Teachers College. The boy follows a .string of about 28 Doughertys who enjoyed the rocker during their infancies. These include the late B. B. Dougherty, who headed A8TC as president for over half a century; Barnard Dougherty, now vice president of the institution; and Edwin Dougherty, a history pro fessor and father of the ^youngster. Actually the crade has served a fourth generation in an indirect line. Edwin Dougherty, Sr. has an older sister, Mrs. "O. L. Brown of Burnsville, with grandchildren who were also rocked in the crad le. The cradle, made from pine wood, la (till a aturdy piece of woodcraft. The wooden pegs hold its parta together tightly. Only the rockers have been replaced dur-. ing ita 89 yean of use. To aerve the Dougherty tota, the cradle haa been moved to pointa all over North Carolina. The cradle was moved from Greens boro, where twina had juat out grown it, for Edwin Jr. It doesn't have the modern look of today'a crib, reports proud pa pa Edwin Dougherty, but ita old fashioned rocking is popular as ever.
