You have asked about Daugherty School near Manila. My father, Franklin Ezra Howell, and my mother, Vadeene Essary Howell, moved from Tennessee to Manila in 1917, and both of them taught school at Daughterty from 1917 to 1923, and had a farm on the road that led past the white, four-room school building. My father was the head teacher or principal. In 1923, Dad became mail carrier for Route One in Manila, they moved to town, and Mother taught at Manila High School. I was born in 1925, but I can remember going to a school program at Daugherty School when I was a kid. I lived in Manila (except for going to college at Searcy) until I married in 1951. I never knew anyone named Daugherty. However, it was generally assumed in my years there, that the community and the school had been named for early settlers named Daugherty, who had apparently died or moved away. As a young man, I often worked as a substitute mail carrier on Route One, and mail carriers get to know everyone. I never knew any Daughertys in or around Manila. The school was a wooden building, and all of the rural schools were eventually consolidated with the Manila Public Schools. The school building probably burned or was torn down many years ago. --Marvin Howell, Sacramento, CA
