News was received here yesterday morning of the death of Walter E. Daggett, which occurred in Bellingham, Wash. on August 13. No particulars regarding his death have been received.
The secretary of the Scottish Rite body in Lewiston, Idaho received the message announcing the sad news, Wednesday evening. The following account taken from the Lewiston tribune will be of interest to the many friends of Walter Daggett of this section.
On August 15th a news dispatch out of Seattle told of the mysterious disappearance of Mr. Daggett.
He had, a few days before that time purchased a cigar store at 1015 Third Avenue, and after owning the business a day or so disposed of it. That was the last heard of Mr. Daggett alive by his family and his closest associates in Lewiston.
When it was known that Mr. Daggett was evidently ill, a representative of the Masonic Lodge in Lewiston was sent to Seattle to try and locate him, being assisted by Masons in Seattle. Their search was unavailing, however.
In Bellingham at the time e of the death of Mr. Daggett was made known, Clyde Calvert was in that city, as a representative of the Masonic Lodge, and arrangements were made to ship the body to Kendrick, for burial at Southwick, the family's former home.
Walter E. Daggett was well known all over the state and throughout eastern Washington.
At one time, Mr. Daggett conducted a general merchandise store at Southwick, disposing of this to remove to Lewiston.
He was active in Republican politics and served Nez Perce county as assessor, deputy auditor, under William Gifford, state-land selector, under Ben Bush, and deputy sheriff under Porter Shafer.
When Mr. Shafer's term expired Mr. Daggett was employed with the government for a brief period and then went to Seattle to engage in business. his stay in that city being of short duration, according to advice.
The deceased was a man of sterling qualities and with his pleasing personality attached himself to many staunch friends. the positions of trust he held were filled unfailingly and with that business acumen that counts so much on the part of a servant to the people.
He was active in Masonic circles and gave great attention to affairs connected with the Scottish Rite Lodges. He was a member of the Blue Lodge of Masonry in Kendrick.
Surviving is Mrs. Daggett; Miss Adeline Daggett and Water Daggett, Jr., a daughter and son, and another daughter, Mrs. Charles Lasker of Portland.
The body will be shipped to Kendrick from Spokane today and the funeral will be held in Southwick on Saturday.
