MRS. JOSEPHINE E. DOHERTY PASSED AWAY

Mrs. Josephine E. Carroll Doherty, widow of the late Anthony A. Doherty, passed away at her late home, 85 Pleasant Street, Saturday night after a few weeks illness. Mrs. Doherty was born in Woburn and educated in the Woburn public schools. She married Anthony A. Doherty, who was one of Woburn's most prominent citizens. For many years, the family lived at the Central House, Woburn's famous hostelry which was owned by Mr. Doherty.
Mrs. Doherty had a wide circle of friends who will mourn her loss. She had a pleasant disposition and was neighborly to all who came in contact with her. Many prominent people who visited Woburn can remember [her] as the congenial hostess at the Central House, which was then the most active hotel for many miles around. In her younger days, she was unusually active in all the church and civic movements.
Mrs. Doherty is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Hanson Foster, Mrs. Edward D. Welch, an executive of William Filene & Sons, and Margaret Doherty, all of Woburn, and three sons, Charles J., Ex Ald. Edward A. Doherty and Police Officer Joseph Doherty and two sisters, Mrs. Anna Bradley of Wakefield and Mary Carroll of California.
The funeral will be held Tuesday morning from the late home of the deceased at 8:30 a.m. High Mass of Requiem will be celebrated at St. Charles Church at 9:30 a.m. Burial will take place at Calvary cemetery.
