Charles "Charley" Doty

Charley Franklin Doty was born November 11, 1926 to Frank and Anna Urely Doty in Monmouth, Kansas. As a child Charley went to school in Hansen, Idaho, as he became an adult he enlisted in the Army. Charley worked several jobs which included farming, superintendent for Wendell City, and a carpenter.

On June 25, 1945 Charley married Vida Lehmann and they had seven children together. Three of the children sadly died as infants. He was a collector of old tractors and loved working on them.
