For the past few years Mr. and Mrs Dagg have been residents of the town of Kincardine ,and left their farm in Biddulph to reside here.
      Now,after a lifetime of noble usefulness in the pioneer upbuilding of his country ,he has a rich fund of stories and tales of pioneer happenings and incidents.Gifted with an excellent and unimpaired memory he delights in entertaining his grandchildren and great grandchildren with the stirring tales of pioneer days.
