Youngest son of John H. and Ophelia Perrin Daggett. Korea, Vietnam Vet, U.S. Army SSgt ret.

Married Dianna Richmond, March 1, 1960, Independence County, AR. Divorced prior to Dianna's marriage to Robert Dorsey Block on Feb. 4, 1962.

Married three years later to Sun Ok Kim, whom he called "Sue", May 14, 1965, in South Korea. Divorced May 2, 1991 in Oklahoma City, OK.

Remarried Dianne Richmond Block, June 7, 1991.

In his youth, he ran the creeks and timber of Curia and Black River and in his precious older years, he loved to walk cemeteries and spent many a day cleaning this one up. He asked that his remains be buried here, in this long ago forgotten place, next to those of his oldest brother Bufford who he never met. He rests near his grandfather Eddie Perrin, as well as his maternal uncle and cousins.

A flagpole with a light has been erected in his honor by the Martz family, who has assumed responsibilities for maintaining the family cemetery since this "last of the Daggett boys" has passed on.

He is loved and missed deeply.

A finer, more honorable man would be rare to find.
