History of Arizona, page 513

William H. Dagg one of Winslow's oldest and most highly respected 
merchants, has been identified with business affairs in this 
section of the state for over forty years. He was born in 
Ireland on February 16, 1865 and is a son of Thomas and 
Margaret (Hueston) Dagg. His father who is deceased was long 
engaged in the breeding and raising of blooded horses for 
track purposes and purebred show cattle.

William H. Dagg received his education in a private school in 
Dublin Ireland and in 1882 when seventeen years old went to 
work in the auditing department of railroad. In 1884 he came 
to the United States and located in the Abilene district, 
Texas where he engaged in the livestock business.  Two years 
later he went to Louisville, Kentucky where he accepted a 
position in the auditing department of the Louisville and 
Nashville Railroad. In the following year, because of his 
impaired health he came to Winslow Arizona where he remained 
for a while on a ranch. His health having improved he went 
to work in Mr. Green's Store, where he remained until 1891 
when with a partner he ought out the Cass and Tuft Mercantile 
Company. He remained closely connected wit that business 
until 1905 when his health broke down and he sold his 
interest in the business to his partner and went out onto 
a sheep ranch which he and Mr. Rand had purchased. In 1907 
he returned to Winslow and bought back his former interest 
in the store and two years later also bought his partner's 
interest. He ran the business alone until 1920 when the 
business was incorporated and he has since been the president 
of the company.

In June 1893 he married Angeline V. Mahaffey, a native of 
Hartford, Lyon County, Kansas. Mrs. Dagg died on April 10, 
1928, leaving five children, Amie, Ida, Hueston, Edith and George.
