| Henry "Harry" Dagg (c1856-1934) |
He was born around 1856 in Biddulph Township, not far from the Culbert homestead.
He's often confused with other Henry/Harry Daggs who lived in the same area at the same time. Note to genealogists: This is not the same Harry Dagg who married Martha Conley. Our Harry Dagg remained single all his life.
Harry died in Kincardine of acute bronchitis in 1934. He was 77. He's buried with his parents in an unmarked grave in Kincardine Cemetery. Harry and his parents share a plot with his brother, Robert Wellington Dagg, who does have a headstone.
But what about all that time in between? He was a farm labourer but we know little else about him. However, this quote from his nephew's daughter, "Toots" sums up Harry's character...
"Enjoyed cards.....known as a "card shark". On his death, Jen Westell put a deck of cards in his coffin with him. Chewed tobacco on a regular basis."
--Quote from Susan Lorena "Toots" (Westell) Jarrell, daughter of Jen Westell.
