Published in the Piscataquis (ME) Observer 5 Feb 1880 p3: "OBITUARY---In the list of prominent citizens of Foxcroft, who have recently departed this life is the name of Elisha Daggett, who was born in Hampden, then Massachusetts, now Maine, Dec. 19, 1802, and died in Foxcroft, January 6, 1880. His paternal ancestors were from Scotland, and came to this country in its early history. His home since he was about two years of age till 1828, was in the town of Greene, at which later date, at the age of twenty-six, he removed to Foxcroft, where he had ever since resided, except a short stay in Frankfort, many years ago.

Mr. Daggett was first married to Miss Evelina T. Thayer, in Sept., 1827, who died in Oct., 1831, leaving to his care, their three daughters, two of whom are now living. In Dec., 1832 he was wedded to Miss Augusta Bolster, who survives him. Seven children were born of this last marriage. Two of these, Simeon R. and Franklin H., died in 1864, the latter having served in the army which saved the nation by crushing the great rebellion.

Elisha Daggett took a deep interest in the education of his children, and was successful in fitting them well for usefulness in their several vocations. He was himself for many years a school teacher---often served as a member of the school committee, and as selectman, assessor and overseer of the poor, in Foxcroft---was also mechanic and farmer. He always did his work and performed his duties well in all the stations which he filled, whether public or private. He was a man of intellectual strength and vigor. Though of very decided opinions, he was ever courteous and social; and was found on the right side of all moral questions agitating the public mind. To such as he was, New England owes her supremacy in intelligence, morality and sound government. Against him the voice of slander never was, and never could be, truthfully raised. He died in full expectation of a peaceful, unending life, in a higher, better and broader field of existence. Truly we feel the loss of, and we mourn for, such of our neighbors; who have left us for their long home; but we are glad that they have lived, and that their influence has not departed, but still is, and will be, potent for good."
