Mary was born in 1838 to Joseph F. and Maria (Campbell) Daugherty. She married George O. Jobes about 1864 in Indiana after his first wife died. They had four known children, Alma J. (1865), Albert C. (1868), Loring R. (1869), and Norman E. (1871), however the 1900 US Census records Mrs. Jobes as the mother of five children with three currently living. Mrs. Jobes died in 1910 at Indianapolis, Indiana.
Before her marriage, she served as a nurse in the US Civil War. The National Association of Civil War Army Nurses published a short biography in 1910 which reads as follows:
"As Mary Adelaide Daugherty, she served about one year at hospital No. 15, Nashville, Tennessee, and at Adams Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee. Mrs. Jobes is 70 years of age and resides at 990 West 33rd St., Indianapolis, Indiana. She receives a pension of $12 per month."[1]
