On 25 Feb 2004, Harrel wrote from [hdoughty@cableone.net] and offered to update information on the Doughty line. "Samuel Alex, was a good father, he was fair about all his ideas of rearing chilren. He would not yell and scream, he would speak calmly and sure. He was a God fearing man and tried to show this to those around him. He didn't play instruments like everyone, A "Jews Harp" and harmonica, but he had a voice for singing and yodeling, (kind like the "old Blue Yodeler") and this he would do when no one was around. He loved the outdoors, fishing and hunting. He had me in the "woods" with him when I was about five. He also loved mechanical work and autos, he could just about look at a car and tell you what it's problems were. If it could be "Fixed" he could do it. Only one thing you had to really watch him for, he loved practical jokes and anyone was fair game. All in all, he was like a "buddy" he would show you instead of telling you. He has sorely been missed these last years."
OBITUARY: Shafter Press (Shafter, California)
News comes from Waynetown, Indiana of the death of former Shafter resident Dick Lynd. In the early 40's Lynd served as guard at the German Prisoner of War camp, in Shafter and was the Shafter distributor for the Californian.
He ad his wife moved to San Bernadino in the mid 80's, but is perhaps best known for his baseball hall of fame status. He was selected for the All-State team of Lousiana, pitched a no hit, no run game. He was so good that during World War II the American Legion would draft him for their baseball teams.
His brother would stand in for him during roll call when he was AWOL for a ballgame. New Guinea and Malaria left Lyd too sick to play professional ball, but he made a time for himself at Sam Lynn Ballpark when he pitched a triple play.
In those days be played with Art Demerey. For 15 years he managed Little League teams, giving his talents and his knowledge to other "would be All-Star players."
He was named to the Coldwater High School Hall of Fame and the Michigan State Baseball Hall of Fame.
Dick and his wife Frances moved to Waynetown, Indiana in 2000. Services were held in Waynetown on Febmary 21.
He is survived by his wife Frances; three children, seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
