Noble C. Daugherty, 90, former member of the Junction City Council, died Wednesday at Danville Centre for Health and Rehabilitation.
He was a member of the City Council for two terms, 1978-79 and 1982-83. During the 1990s, he had been recognized by the city for his efforts. He was presented a plaque during the mayoral term of Harold Leach and in 1996 was named grand marshal of the Railroad Days festival by the City Council.
"We did honor him as grand marshal for his outstanding contributions to citizens of Junction City throughout the years, " said Mayor Dale Walls.
In his later years, Daugherty started a project of collecting information about the history of Junction City, where he lived since 1929. One of his dreams was to have all the information he had collected located in one place in the city.
