Part Of County Line Road Could Be Renamed To Honor Local Vet

WARMINSTER, PA — State lawmakers are pushing to rename part of County Line Road in Horsham and Warminster townships to honor U.S. Air Force Major James Doherty, a veteran with deep ties to the community.

Doherty, a United States Air Force veteran who served in World War II, died in February at the age of 95, according to his obituary.

Rep. Todd Stephens and Rep. Meghan Schroeder say their proposed legislation will honor the man who served his country and community in several roles.

In addition to his military service, Doherty was a member of the Horsham Township Council, Horsham Little League, Horsham Water and Sewer Authority, Horsham Township Parks and Recreation Board, Horsham Township Environmental Advisory Board and Horsham Township Vacancy Board.

He was a member of the Hatboro-Horsham School District Board of Directors for 20 years and was also active with the Horsham Lions and the Horsham VFW.
