He was born and reared at Ottawa, Ill., and when five years old accompanied by his parents, Charles and Mary (Byrnes) Daggett, to Marseilles, Ill. Both parents had been born at Ottawa, Ill., and lived through some of the thrilling early history of that section, but now are residents of Marseilles. The children born to these parents were: one who died in infancy; Delia Danish; Henry C.; Charles and Fred B., both of whom are railway mail clerks; and Susie, who is a bookkeeper in the First National Bank at Marseilles. Henry C. Daggett grew up at Marseilles, and was graduated from the common and high schools of that city, following which he prepared for himself for further work by taking a full business course in an Ottawa commercial college. He then returned to Grundy County, and, locating at Morris, worked as bookkeeper for the Beatty Lumber Company for three years, when he was sent to Mazon to assume charge of the lumber yards of the company at that place. This position he filled very acceptably for three years, and on August 7, 1911, assumed his present responsibilities, and is carrying them to the entire satisfaction of all parties concerned. The success which has attended Mr. Daggett’s efforts is largely due to his faithfulness and capable and effective work. He is never satisfied until he has carried out his plans to render his company efficient service and his aim has been to place the name of the Mazon Farmers Elevator Company at the head of the list of similar concerns. Such enterprise and progressiveness combine for big business and the patrons of these elevators recognize the fact that with such a competent manager of this company they are sure of receiving fair and honorable treatment and the very best of service. pages 800-801 Additional Comments: Source: History of Grundy County, Illinois, Chicago: Munsell Publishing Co.
