                                              ---------  
   Miss Sarah Daggett, who has been one of the fixtures of Lake Odessa for all its
history, passed away last 
Saturday at her home on north Fourth avenue.
   She was of a quiet peaceful disposition always tending to her own affairs, but
always found associating 
herself with the best things of life.  She was identified with the Woman's club, the
Women's Christian 
Temperance union, aside from her membership in the Methodist Episcopal church and
its departments to 
which place she was always faithful and loyal.  She with her sister Mrs. Short, have
been passionately fond of 
flowers and were for many years the sources of the floral decorations of their
church and not for church only, 
but for many a sick bedside, illustrating the life of the deceased, --the quiet
messenger of good cheer.
   Sarah Daggett was born in Watterville, Ohio, January 11, 1836.  After the death
of her parents she with her 
sister, who survives her, moved to New Haven, Conn., where they lived until 1888
when they came to Lake 
Odessa to live.
   In early life she was converted and joined the Congregational church, but on
coming to this village she 
transferred her membership to the Methodist Episcopal church where she remains a
loyal servant of her 
Master.  She leaves one sister, Mrs. Emma Short, of this village, one sister-in-law
Mrs. Emma Randel, in Texas 
and several nieces in Ohio and the eastern states.
   The funeral was held at the Methodist church Tuesday forenoon.  Rev. Thomas Laity
the pastor, preached.  
The singing was by the church choir and the body was laid to rest in Lakeside
cemetery.
