5 . n ,Jesse Dougherty l Killed in Automobile iWell Known Glen Ridge Boy, Member of Prominent Family l Meets with Fatal Accident i g...,..as.,.: 4 2-Y While returning home from Wil- liams College on Monday evening at '7 o'clock, Jesse Lyman Dougherty, vnineteen-year-old son of Rev. George 3P. Dougherty, rector of Christ Epis- copal Church of Glen Ridge, and Mrs. lDougherty, was fatally injured when an automobile in which he was rid- ding with a classmate, while rounding ,a curve near Peekskill, burst a tire land overturned. The steering wheel .which he was operating crushed his lungs, pinning him to the seat.. He awas taken to the Peekskill Hospital iwhere he died early Tuesday morn- ning. l l , Shortly after arriving at the hos- pital the injured young man regained 'consciousness 'and conversed cheer- fully. Rev Dr. and Mrs Doughert - - Y ,were immediately notified and arrived 'in Peekskill at midnight. Jesse passed away at 4 o'clock on Tuesday morning. Jesse Dougherty, who had just com- pleted his sophomore year at Williams College, and a friend, Robert McKit- trick, of Yonkers, were 'riding in the latter's car, with the Glen Ridge boy at the wheel. Rounding the curve at a moderate speed, a tire blew out, cou-sing the car to swerve and over- turn. McKittrick escaped with slight injuries. Jesse was the smallest of the three sons of Rev. Mr. Dougherty and his wife, being just six feet tall. All three of the young men are students at Williams, and all are members of the track team., It was scarcely three weeks ago that the young man car- ried the purple of Williams to vic- tory in thlrllif-mils Went in s meet with Beltonxg 'University l Hs, was known as one 'of 'theliiest half-'mllers that the college had had. His older brother, George, who was graduated this year, was its champion broad- jumper and his younger brother, Ed- wnard, running for Glen Ridge High School, was the winner of the New Jersey State hurdles championship last year and was also on the track team at the college. Jesse was born in the Brooklyn Methodist Hospital and would have been twenty years old Augu t 20. He came to Glen Ridge nine years ago with his parents, from Newark, where his father had been pastor of the St. Paul's church. In high school he followed in the footsteps of his older brother, star- ring in three branches of athletics- track, football and basketball. After .being graduated, he followed his el- l v r i lfler brother to Williams. Besides his activitieshin track at college, he was mlso assistant manager of the basket- ball team last year, a member of the -Sigma Phi fraternity-and a general 'avorite on the campus. Two weeks ago, one of his frater- nity' brothers received word from home that his father was about to lundergo a serious operation in a New. ark hospital. While the others gath- ered around the boy to console him, young Dougherty slipped out borrow- ed a car and came back to announce that he was ready to take the boy to his father's bedside. It was such acts as these that made him well-liked wherever he went. n Besides his activities in high school, Jesse was an expert horseman and was a member of B Troop of the 102d Cavalry, the Essex Troop, for -two vears, resigning when he entered col- lege. His parents 'and his two broth- ers are the only survivors. The body was brought to Glen Ridge. Funeral services were held in Christ Church yesterday afternoon.
